Billy, maybe the header discussion needs a new post? Would love to hear some of your thoughts and experience there...

Adger and Jeff, your comments about wet and dry flow and atomization, are keys I think everyone would agree.

I was talking with Kyle Ratcliff and he reminded me of the cooling effect of the wet flow of the fuel through the intake on the carb setup. Does make a difference. That would really come into play with the peak HP number on a carb setup... goes with all of the atomization discussion from Billy and others... high rpm it can keep fuel suspended with good velocity.

We don't race dyno's. Not saying the peak numbers are not true, just that we all know the dyno numbers don't always prove perfect on the track. To me, it still looks like the FI combo, on a apples to apples deal, would be the better race track motor, due to the ability to tune the curve thru the entire RPM range... Apples to apples is key in MY thought here, as some motor combo's, intakes, runners, etc. have limitations that hurt them and take them out of play for normal comparison.

Joe, while not the direct answer to your original question, hope you are getting some good ideas to think about.

I enjoy listening and learning from all of you guys. I would love to have time, resources, etc to test a lot of ideas... but until I win the lottery, I will just keep listening and learning from you all. Thanks.
