So how do you have all of those added injectors wired in and plumbed and mounted that seems like one heck of a task!

I used a MegaSquirt stand alone as a secondary EFI computer

i have replaced the muffler too ... but never touched the headers tho ...

i think my gears are 5.12 and tires ran 215/75/15 + 31"  and am getting the same speed... maybe 215s was a bit more ...thats all according to a gps speedo so its accurate

and maybe 50mph is not that bad... but it is when it takes 15+ secs to get there
am not that good of a fabricator but a shop in our area done swapping before for some kicks and he always fits Nissan Cedric v6 carb..

so i might try it... since i replaced/repaired 4 kicks engines ...am kinda tired of those lame engines always breaking up and letting me down almost every time i take a long trip "300+ miles"

A carbed motor should eliminate most matching electronics issues.  Extra Hp is Great!!  It is hard to stay out of it, so mpg will suffer for a while.

215x75x15 tires are not +31".  31+" tires will bog an 8 valve down, making it hard to run in 5th gear or even reach 50 mph (I know some are doing it, but it is normally hard).  215X75x15 are just .5" larger than stock, and should not have too much effect on performance.

My 8V doesn't mind my 31s...  And I'm in CO elevation!  5th gear won't pull up hills, but it'll hold 70+ mph on the interstate...!  Just don't shift below 3750 rpm...

maybe i was not clear but what i mean with "215/75/15 + 31" is that i had both sizes on my kick

I do hope that you have a 2wd Kick.  With that difference in tire size 4wd will cause severe binding, and eventually something will break.  Not to mention that it will use a lot of power working against the tire size difference.

nah ..we dont have 2wd kicks in Kuwait... all 4wd`s
