[DeTomaso] efi vs Weber respondents

[Charles McCall]

I, too, would be interested in hearing Chuck's magic recipe because it
sounds like he's onto something!

My two cents is that my engine will happily rev to 6500 rpm when the
rev-limiter kicks in. It's a compltely different engine to any other I've
had (5 different Clevelands in two different Panteras). I followed Dan
Jones' recipe to the letter, and am unsure whether it is the intake (Weiand
Xcelerator), the cam with its solid lifters (Compcams 282S) or what.

Very nice Chuck.
What mods allow the 6500 rpm?

a wad of crap. It may run great, though. '

torque curve. I am thrilled. Do I really need EFI? I am not sure.........
