Impressive.

He put alot of work into that stepside.
Once, he gets that tuned, I'd like to see a 'flyby'.

784X4GUY · 01-04-2006, 11:30 AM

Is that an edelbrock fuel injection system? Kinda looks like it but not for sure.....Later....Mike

ElGracho · 01-04-2006, 10:07 PM

If you click through to the megasquirt forums, and then to that guys page, he details the hardware in his fuel system. There aren't any Edelbrock parts. The computer control is done by Megasquirt...

784X4GUY · 01-05-2006, 12:50 AM

Thanks joe I'll go take me a look.....Mike

784X4GUY · 01-05-2006, 12:57 AM

I don't know what he has now for injection but before he had a victor jr intake and holley carb with a custom carb hat for the turbo setup......Mike

ElGracho · 01-05-2006, 09:21 AM

Ok, I was wrong on that one. He does have an edelbrock part, the victor jr intake that he modified for injector bosses. What I really meant was that he didn't just order one of the available edelbrock EFI systems and put it on his truck. He built it up using various parts.
