I just recently completed the restoration of my 1964 Dodge

1000 HP Land Speed Daytona

This is the latest creation from Gary Beineke at 71wingcars.com

It uses the FAST XFI system that Gary and I were able to tune with me sitting here in my office and him back east.
He made his first licensing pass of 181 MPH at the ECTA event (East Coast Timing Association) of the year sponsored by Hot Rod magazine.  You'll see lots of media coverage on this car.

I just converted this M1 manifold to port injection.

The curious thing to notice is that I used the new shorty LS2/LS7 injectors.  These injectors are only 1.5" tall and are high impedance so they work with the new EZ-EFI ECU.
These injectors result in the fuel rails being lower than the flange so the rails will clear any air cleaner.


They flowed within 1% injector to injector and their "on times" were within .01 milliseconds.  This is very consistent performance that's hard to meet with older style injectors.
I think I'm in love with these injectors.


Here's a beautiful customer's car that I recently tuned.
It has won several first place trophies

Below are two pictures of my new 572" pump gas (91 octane) Hemi.
FAST XFI with XIM coil-on-plug controller (no distributor)
Normally aspirated
4500 style throttle body
10.86 compression ratio
Stage-V Millennium heads
Comp solid roller 282/286 @ .050 .700 lift
Converted Indy manifold with 95 lb/hr injectors
MSD LS-1 coils
 

And here it is in the car ready for test and tune:

This is a very nice street Hemi.

It's a 472" pump gas hydraulic cammed Procharged beast that fits under the hood.

Would you believe this thing made over 1000 HP with 12 pounds of boost.
Yet it idles smooth at 750 RPM.

It's a pump gas 572" on an aluminum KB block with an 8-71.
16 injectors both above and below the blower.

This is an example of a typical Stage-V Hemi EFI manifold after I have mounted the fuel rails and plumbed the crossover using black Pro-Lite 350 -8 hose.  The rail hold downs are simple 1/2" aluminum rods.
We added FAST XFI fuel injection to a very unusual engine.
It's an old 331 Hemi in a 1951 Cunningham!
The Cunningham was a very special car that used one of the first 331 Hemis.
The trick with this build was to hide the fuel injectors between the manifold sections and convert the carburetors to throttle bodies.
Most people that see this engine do not know it's EFI.
The Cunningham
(not the same car - shown for example)

The Cunningham Hemi had 4 Stromberg carburetors
on the stock engine.
TPS is mounted off throttle shaft and injectors are 
horizontally mounted from a single fuel rail.
Here's a STEALTH crossram EFI manifold on a Hemi.
When the air cleaners are on, most people cannot tell it's EFI
The is a 540" EFI Wedge.
Sort of unbelievable isn't it.

Yeah - just another typical E-Body convertible with an EFI Hemi running on both E85 and Gas
I have received quite a few emails from people who have heard that I did a crossram to "Stealth EFI" conversion.

This process will soon be published in an upcoming 
issue of Mopar Muscle.
But I added a few pictures to the photo page 
to show a little of this conversion.
I intentionally left out a few pictures and some 
explanatory text, because of the upcoming article.

Here's the beginning

Some injectors inject 
directly into the underlying 
port that crossing over 
from the other side.

#2 and #7 require
special treatment

A special military

to handle the heat
and vacuum

The IAC has a home

The covers receive special
hold downs for the rails

Plumbed and ready

A beautiful 64 Hemi Dodge with a
Keith Block aluminum block and dual-plug Stage-V heads.
Yes - It's a crossram manifold converted to EFI with everything hidden, and the carburetors were converted to throttle bodies (The injectors are under the manifold).

Nice 800 HP Vette with FAST Traction Control
********************************************************************************************
This is a really cool customer's EFI car.

It's a third generation 6.1 Hemi, stroked to 426", and running custom F and B 6-pack throttle bodies. 

 The car was shown for the first time at Carlisle.

FAST XFI Hilborn Small Block

Here's the car.  Notice two trophies ...
Won both the E-Body Race Class and Best Engine.

Hilborn type EFI really benefits from going sequential.
And since true plug-and-play dual-sync distributors are now available there's just no reason not to go sequential.

This customer ran bank-to-bank first.  He noticed the popping that can occur with a stack type intake because of the random injector timing.  Also, a few cylinders were a little lean because the fuel distribution block was not ideal (we didn't make that), this meant the timing had to be backed off.  After we helped him switch to sequential, the popping went away, and under individual cylinder control he was able to richen up only those cylinders that needed it, thereby allowing the timing to be set where it should be.

 Bank-To-Bank Sequential
Timing 26 degrees max 34 degrees
Fuel Distribution Not adjustable Richened 4 cylinders
Street Mileage + 5 MPG improvement
ET Consistency +/- .03 +/- .01
Race MPH 105 MPH 108 MPH
Race Temp 190 degrees 170 degrees

This is the 71 Challenger Convertible that won Best Of Show at the Mopar Spring Fling in Van Nuys California last week.
It's an amazing car.  I built the 528 HEMI (~700 HP on dyno without NOS), and installed and tuned the EFI system.
The XFI ECU also controls a 150 HP nitrous shot, and it has traction control, 
and I used the XFI "flex fuel" feature to convert it to run on E85, and it all works!
********************************************************************************************

I did the HEMI on the left and just found out about the car 
it went into. It this one BEAUTIFUL Willys or what?
The pic below with the pipes out the fender is just kick A$$.

Stage-V HEMI manifold

Ready for the Throttle Bodies!

18 degree small block Chevy manifold
for a 4500 style throttle body.
This one was tough because of the steep angle
of the intake runners.  Normal EFI bungs were
too short, so we had to machine our own.
This is an early picture of our "Pump Gas Bandit"
It's a 500" Mopar running the FAST XFI system
740 HP on 93 octane.

Nice little Small Block Mopar
with a Hilborn
and Sequential FAST EFI.

Notes on the RACE HEMI to the left:

Race engines should use sequential mode.
Sequential operation requires both a CAM sync pulse, for injector sequencing, and a crankshaft reference signal, for the ECU to compute ignition timing.  
On the race HEMI at the left, I modified the distributor to create the cam signal (one pulse per cam rev).
Then used an MSD crank trigger for the ECU's ignition timing reference pulse.
