Green Bastard Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 A buddy of mine had a 1st gen Camaro with a 502 and a blower. He is thinking about going fuel injection and is looking at a kit from a place called Joe Blo speed shop, the kit puts 8 injectors in a plate above the blower. It seems to me that putting the injectors above the blower could make it hard to tune, but idk much about supercharged setups as I have never owned or worked on one. Would that be a decent setup? Any suggestions for a better route to go? Fwiw, it is a 8-71 blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 That'd be fine. We put draw through carbs on top of blowers for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Why is he going fuel injected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted May 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I know carbs have been mounted atop blowers for a long time, in fact the blower helps with fuel atomization, I just don't know how different it would be for 8 fuel injectors sitting up there. I'm sure it would work just fine, I just don't know how it works or if there is a better setup. Steve, I'm not totally sure why he wants to go fuel injection, I didn't ask. He has had this setup for a long time and I think he is just looking for a way to change things up a little and improve drivability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Typically when you are doing a FI swap you are doing it below, I'm actually in the process of doing something similar. As long as the setup he is getting comes with full tuning capacity and isn't just a "self learning" unit though I imagine it should be fine. You'll get data from sensors that should allow any tweaks and adjustments necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
