I am suspecting those heads won't even idle right. Just a quick glance looks to me like to big of head on too small of combo.

Just my opinion though.

just because the heads flow big numbers, doesn't necc. mean that is good.

You have stock cam (VERY little lift), and brodix heads are actually going to flow like crap at low lift. Flow is kindof like horsepower, not always the biggest peak wins. It is the AREA under the curve and the whole picture.

Of course the brodix guy is going to suggest his stuff.

Um, where do we start..

Adjust F28 to get the fuel curve down for the 50s (use 30/50 ratio for a start)

Adjust the F29 tables for idle & driveability

Adjust the AE tables to get part throttle right

Adjust the DE tables to get your deceleration right

I'd run it in full time quasi-asynch mode

you running off a 3 bar or 2 bar program?

Have you set the program ID to AA when you modified your programs?

I can't see why you'd be running that setup on the stock cam.

My thoughts exactly.

If you aren't either:

a)skilled in tuning EFI stuff via chips/aftermarket computers

or

b)wealthy

You are best off copying proven buildups. I can understand going your own way and doing things differently, but like I once heard, pioneers are people with arrows in their backs :wink:
