I don't think I'm going to make it to
the orlando show due to scat(crap) lifters
and a fat tax return.

The motor now is 1915, it will be a
2276 or 2275, haven't decided.
With my fuel injection, I'm not going to
be able to stop smiling.

Sorry if it seems like I'm bragging, but
I'm just bouncing off the walls in happiness!

I would go 2332 with a mild cam. Keep it drivable and reliable.

Right now I'm leaning toward 2276.
Only time will tell.

Thanks

Sorry, I meant 2276 or 2332.

2276cc= 94mm(bore)x82mm(stroke)
2332cc=94mm(bore)x84mm(stroke)

Sorry,
Tom

sounds great. if you do get EFI don't get the CB P. kit... but rather get the CB everything but the computer. there are much better computers for EFI out there. If you need more info on what kind i can get that for you. All my friends have the EFI on the buggy's and any of them the that started with the CB box computer dumped them and went with a better computer..

I've been running the cb fuel
injection for about 8 months
and up-graded the computer to
the haltech computer about 3
months ago, much better.
Plugged in the laptop put it on
the dyno and tuned away.

Thanks
Tom
