New injectors on the way from Racetronix to solve all this injector B.S. These he has now are pos injectors and they just can't be trusted.

The ones he has now came from a guy on EBAY.........thats a lesson learned I guess. Heck he got the new Ractronix Injectors for less than $300 new.

How would the Vic JR work with forced induction? Also, Would that 4 barrel TB work mounted on a 90* elbow? If so, I would think I could just hook up the intake tube from my Vortech to the 4 barrel as you would do with a normal TB.
I've been thinking this would make a great end of winter/spring project for me.

I think it would be great for FI. I just finished it up COMPLETLEY today, installed the NEW Racetronix injectors and tuned it. AFR is in between 12.8-13.0 at WOT and it runs and drives better than ever.

Are there any negative effects with the 4 barrel and FI?

Your setup looks sweet. Roughly how many hours do you have in to this project? And what size injectors are those? I can't wait to see you 1/4 mile times!

I want to upgrade my heads too, but I'm on a tight budget. I want to do the Vic Jr. and TB first. Later on down the like I will do the heads.

If you've got everything lined out and don't get any crap fuel injectors you could easily do it in an afternoon. We first attempted some reman 42 lb injectors, but they didn't work as advertised, so we went with some racetronix 44 lb'ers.

As for 1/4 mile times, the truck feels as strong or slightly stronger than the setup with the truck manifold on a 150 shot, I know that sounds a little farfetched but it's the honest to God truth. We compared my log of a 40-95 ish run to that of a Formula Firehawk Rhino tuned (4000 converter, no cats, lid, and some other bolt-ons- a low 12 sec car) in 10 mph increments and the ol' truck was consistently 1 to 2 tenths faster every 10 mph gained, thats pretty good in my book to pull a car like that down the highway in a 4300+ lb truck in full trim with two passengers I figure it's a solid mid 11 sec truck anyways.
