Just get a complete Enderly or Rons system, They work and are reasonably priced.

I've been kicking it around for my dragster and done quite a bit of research and the injection is much better on hi HP stuff than carbs on alky.

Sell your carbs and fuel system and get the Rons set-up, your looking at about $2100 for everything including the correct pump.

if you are buying new go injection it will be close to the same price as carb and all the extra stuff you have to get for the carb setup plus you can get the 1800cfm tolit and shouldn't need two if you going to run 2 carbs you will be money ahead going with the 1800 cfm tolit

I got lucky on my alky converision going carb and everything to go with the carb but still have alittle over half the price of a new tolit setup if that helps you any

thats not a bad price
now if my lil 528 will take it
i am gonna run my lower end for 1 more season
and than i might go to a 600+cid
since i have the svo block and A-heads i feel
it will work well gonna try for around 1200hp
i was thinking getting all the stuff i need this winter
and eather run it on gas again and stay in my class for 1 more season
run the tunnel ram with a single carb

yep i got 2 much time on my hands today
i have been thinking about doing this for awhile

twin toilets would work awesome, be sure to get a big pump, 1.0 should do it, you might need a high speed with it on the smaller build but later on you'll have enough pump.

I think a 1 pump would be way overkill. Tuning would be a lot easier with an 0-1/2

I'm at the limits of a 0.5 with my junk, if he's gonna build 1200hp its gonna need more pump trust me.


You can always configure the system to deal with too much pump, but not vice versa.

Oh, I agree for 1200hp, but he didn't post that he was making a giant upgrade. He can wear out a 0-1/2 and have it upgraded to a 1 when he gets the BIG need and then not have to worry about chasing the tune until then.

Scott at Killer Ron's suggested to me to run my 0 1/2 on my 572, but said it would need to be a fresh pump. That kind of sounds to me a 0 1/2 is at the limit with a 572, with his 600+ in the future he would need a 1.

You need to present it as a net savings, selling all parts you have laying around to help pay for the new stuff and mention that the fuel is about 1/4-1/3 the cost of Q16..... Its all about the SAVINGS to operate the truck and Green Enviromentaly Friendly Renewable Energy !!! cheers cheers

I agree with Freelander, you have to present it as a cheaper, cleaner alternative. In other words baffle them with bull s..t Laughing

The added fuel consumption will offset some
of the cheap per gallon savings over gas, in other words it wont save you as much as you think.
