Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
I used to work at a high end engine shop. We built mostly trophy truck engines which have almost no rules engine wise, other than they have to be naturally aspirated and no nitrous.
We mostly built big, injected small blocks. Usually around 430 cubic inches and 850 horsepower. They actually had to tune some of the throttle response out of them for driveability reasons. Getting knocked around flying through the desert made it hard to ease the throttle...
ironically these engines almost always made a tad more power on the dyno with a carburetor. In a drag race the injected motor would probably win though.
We also built a few IR injected all aluminum FE big blocks for brand new Shelby Cobras. One was 500+cid(I think it was a 513... been a few years) with a belt driven supercharger.
