[DeTomaso] Possible club/list/forum 351C dyno

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Phil,

I hear what you're saying and I thought the same thing. My guess is that some parts will eliminate themselves fairly soon in the process and thus lessen the number of combinations. It won't make sense to test e.g. the highest flowing heads with the most restrictive headers and most restrictive air filter.

> Forgive me if this isn't what we're trying to acheive, but the variables here could be huge. If we only had 3 types of header, 3 inlets, 3 sets of heads, 3 ignition systems, 3 carbs and 3 filter arrangements we'd have 729 permutations!
