Throttle stopping injection

Hustler1098 · 03-18-2009, 01:06 PM

Wondering if anyone out there has had any luck throttle stopping injection... setup is two toilets on a 572, in its current setup should run roughly 7.50

I've talked with James Monroe and he the advice he gave me was to bring the rpm down to about 2800 on the stop and go out a little further than most do in order to burn the fuel that may puddle up on the starting line

Any other advice anybody might have or does that pretty much sum it up? Also, does anyone have any approximations as to what kind of time I will have to run in the timers...

Thanks...

1st, I would do what James says, he's got some experience but I know more than one who have their stops go to idle and I think its to control the fuel pump rpm. This usually gives you a 1:1 ratio. Hope this helps.

Gary, what he said was to go to "idlespeed" which would be about 2800 downtrack. Honestly, I don't know what idlespeed means in this context.

To the others, when I say further out I don't really mean way out.. I guess a lot of carbs only go out .1 or .2 whereas James said to go out .8 or so we're still talking about going on the stop at about 30 or 40 feet I guess...

When you say 1:1, I guess that means a tenth on the stop for every tenth you want to kill? So to go from 750 to 890 I would be on the stop 1.4 seconds? Sorry if I'm way off base, like I said I've never .90 raced before in my life and have no idea where to start...

Thanks for the replies...

Last year my car went 8.70's...I ran .95 in the stop to go 9.90's...so I'm a little less than 1:1...but I'm killing it down to 2000 not 2800..(and by the way, by idle I assume you meant idle, 1200 rpm)..I know a couple of guys who actually go to a dead idle but I like to keep it a little up off idle...

Remember generally the farther out you go the more time you need in the stop...but like I said previously I go out .2 or .3...just to make sure I get off and away...

One thing you will also experience is this will be almost like two launches...one at the hit and another when the stop comes back off..I was coming back off in 1st gear so its a rush...shifting on time while on the stop will soften that a little...

So yes at 1:1 you would have exactly the time in the stop that you want to slow down from all out...

Im running a 1800 lbs hardtail and a 540ci BBC with twin toilets. We have run this combo in super comp (and brackets) since '91. We launch and go on the stop at .5, using a in line stop we drop down to 3800 rpm, shift on time at 1 second, and come back on around 2.5 seconds or so. We run consistant year to year and go rounds at the Div 5 races. We dont run a electronic bypass or anything else, not saying that it wouldn't help, thats just been our experience.

Nemo,

What do you run off the stop in the 1/4?

Dave Steltz · 03-18-2009, 03:15 PM

We have some guys doing it here in D1....kill it down as low as possible...(I kill mine to 2000 with a terminator)..that way the pump wont overload you on fuel, and then let it rip..might want to get a electronic bypass to bleed some off...

I also kill mine at .2, so not really going out too far...

At that low rpm, you will be about 1:1 in your ratio, so if you're looking at 8.90 do the math...

With a barrel valve that has a part throttle bypass, you can run it clean at any rpm . ....you can get one from Kinsler.......If you don't want to change the barrel valve,then use the electric bypass, tied in with the timer......without a bypass,you need to get as low as possible on the stop rpm,while going out farther than a carbureted car before going on the stop. .....Tom
