Very Nice!!! But I loved the second and third Ferrari's sound the best! Mark

Then try this! http://www.emachineshop.com/ Mark

Wow, i didn't know this would spark so much discussion! I agree that it is over priced! First, I would be willing to pay up to 1K, IF it did as advertised. Secondly, as to whether the runners are "too short", if you look at page two, you will see a pic showing the lower half of the intake with the intake runners hi-lighted in glowing red. The runners appear to start at one side and then "run" to the other side, sort of like a cross ram intake. Finally, BG says this combo will be available for SBC, BBC and LSX engines, allowing folks another alternative. Mark

Don't know if this has already been posted or not, but I found it very interesting! http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tech/0703phr_four_barrel_inline_carb/index.html Mark

The stock cast iron intake weighs 30 lbs. Going to a aluminum intake like the Edelbrock will save major weight. As will upgrading the stock internals to lighter forged pieces, (pistons, rods, valve train, etc...). So a iron head 500" Cadillac, like the one I previously mentioned, call easily weigh less than a all iron sbc. Using aluminum heads will save another 70 or more pounds, but availability is currently limited. Note: 385cfm "out of the box" aluminum heads will be available in the near future according to Potter Automotive. Mark

How about a 500HP/600ft lbs. pump gas, dyno tested, Cadillac crate engine for $8,400! http://www.cadillacperformanceparts.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=2&category_id=1&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=42 p.s. This engine weighs about 575lbs. with iron heads! Mark

Mike, you've been hanging out with Alex again! Mark

Here's one more Performance Cadillac vendor. http://www.cadillachighperformance.com/ Mark

Yes folks our resident "Devil Dog" is 44 today! Happy Birthday! Mark

So are we ever going to get a chat room? Mark

Alex's sick mind never ceases to amaze! Mark

Ok... But what is it? Mark

Welcome aboard! Mark

Pricing according to RetroTek Speed will be in the $2000 target range for the entire kit which will include a fuel pump good to 500hp. Here is a e-mail from RetroTek Speed, Thank you for your interest in the all-new RetroTek BossEFI system. The story in Hot Rod magazine came out a little early and our site was not ready to go up so we will be adding info daily. PRICING To answer some basic questions, the system is set to target the $2000.00 price range for the 930cfm body and comes as a complete package. The Throttle body bolts in place of a Holley or similar 4 barrel and has the same overall dimensions, so the air cleaner will remain in the same location. SELF-TUNING COMPUTER The computer is the first self-tuning system available and is a speed density ,closed loop system . We use a PLX wide band (included) and the system delivers hands free tuning at all loads and RPM²s. The key to our system is its VE SYNC which reads the air fuel of your engine and re-writes the base fuel table to deliver the exact Target Air Fuel ratio desired for your engine. This can be done while viewing the info on a laptop, or without one. The system re-programs itself so the oxygen sensor does not have to work to correct an inaccurate calibration each time you run your engine. Once this is done you can leaved the O2 in place to compensate for various fuel and elevation differences. A video demonstrating a system being tuned will be posted on the site shortly so keep checking it out. ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS The kit comes with a high pressure fuel pump that mounts on the chassis at or below the fuel tank . For over 500HP and larger applications, an ultra-high performance pump is required for an additional charge. Also there is no need for a return fuel line although one may be used along with an EFI bypass regulator. The return-less system is included in the kit but the bypass style system is not included and can be purchased separately. ECU & WIRING DETAILS The computers dimensions are 6-inches long, 4.5-inches wide, and 1.65-inches high; and it can be mounted either under the dash or in another dry location. All wiring features weather pack connectors and are completely terminated although you are required to install an o2 sensor bung in the exhaust pipe. This can be done in one side only by any muffler shop and the bung is included. SYSTEMS AVAILABLE There BossEFI comes in 2 sizes, 930 & 1200 cfm ratings. The 930 will handle up to 650hp and the 1200 is good for 900+hp with the correct size injectors. There is a simple formula to size the injectors. We use 4 so the math is: HP divided by 2 /4 = injector size. The computer is capable of very small pulse widths so it is better to be a little large in this area. An example of this is 500hp/2/4 = 62.5lbs. In this case we would use 63 lb injectors.For Dual Quad systems we would have 8 injectors so HP/2/8= injector size. 500hp/2=250/8=31.25. We would supply 8 32lb injectors in the kit. You can use this simple math to work up any HP combo you have. This is a Quick tip only,call us if you are un sure. All necessary sensors are included so this is a true bolt on system!! RELEASE DATE & FURTHER INFO We will be sending out periodic emails with more details about the BossEFI system up to the Spring 2007 release date. Please stay tuned, as THE MOST EXCITING NEW PERFORMANCE PRODUCT IN 20 YEARS is about to REVOLUTIONIZE your vehicle. Thanks for your interest, RetroTek Speed

Hey kwikcad500, good to see you here! So how quick is your Cadillac now? Mark

I linked this thread to http://www.cadillacpower.com/forum/index.php/topic,4931.0.html The concensus there is "that's normal" Mark

So Brett, why you selling? Mark

240hoke, I wouldn't worry about Alex losing his job, he's been spanking it at work for years! Mark

I'd run a VLSD R200 with 3.54's out of a Q45. No clutches to worry about and with a CV upgrade should handle 700hp! The only weak-link will be the stock stub axles. Mark

Hm... thats like giving your wife/girl friend a beautifully wrapped present and after opening it she finds a "Steaming Bile of $hit" inside! Mark

That's right, blueovalz has offically joined the ranks of the "Over the Hill Gang". Happy 50th Terry! Mark

Alex, so what type of "sewing machine oil" are you going to run in that "thing"? Mark

A 1100 cfm throttle body will run fine on your 355, if it is set-up properly. Unlike a carb, your cfm is not restricted by vacuum signal. Mark

Well unless your building a Mountain motor, 1100 cfm is more than you'll need! Mark
