5.0L FORD-CARB VS FUEL INJECTION-WHICH ONE WORKS BEST? EDEL RPM & 750 VS GT-40 & 65MM THROTTLE BODY

[@tunerdadtunerdad7927]

I am an avid old school 5.0 guy. The issue with carb vs fuel injection at the time.....was nobody had a Holley dominator on their street efi setup. It was ProM mass air and spout out with fuel pressure tuning. The carbs slaughtered the efi guys at the track. Even with an A trim....back in the day...a carb and a 150 shot murdered all.

[@TheGT350Garage]

Richard, back around the time i worked for DH and we were doing stuff on the Focus, I methodically tested the following parts before and after and found them to be the respective best for each around the power range this engine is at. You need to run a Holley Systemax II with a 65mm Ford Motorsport (old school) throttle body and EGR spacer. If you have the 65mm for an Explorer, it’s the same casting and throttle blade with a different lever and no PCV tube but it has the exact same flow characteristics. That pairing should gain 500-600 usable rpm and come close to or match the carburetor and dual plane at the rpm the EFI combination tops out at. -Walter

[@richardholdener1727]

WALTER-I HAVE TESTED THE SYSTEMAX SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST-I HAVE VIDEOS UP ON IT-A 65 IS RESTRICTIVE AT THIS POWER LEVEL

[@TheGT350Garage]

@@richardholdener1727 I tested about a dozen TBs in this power range for Bob Mclurg in a multi-way N/A and forced induction comparison to one DH was making with inserts to make it perform like a 65/70/75mm in a single unit. The two standouts from that test were the old SVO 65mm and the 75mm with a 65mm Venturi reducer in front of the throttle blade. The final article completely omitted the SVO 65mm TB because it was the top performing part in both configurations for torque and horsepower across the range. And my first inclination to how good that SVO TB was came from one of your early dyno tests on a 351W with a Vortech that made about 630HP back in the mid-90s at R&E. Those were the days.

The best 5.0L Ford carb intake I've tried has been the Weiand Stealth, it beat the Edelbrock RPM carb intake. The best injector intake I tried was the Edelbrock RPM. The RPM carb intake ran like it was too big for the engine and the Stealth best it everywhere in power. Used the Ford E303 camshaft too. I ran both a 65mm and a 70mm throttle body on the RPM injection intake. Try an RPM injection intake and see if you can run a Stealth carb intake. The Holley stage 2 injection intake and a Trick Flow intake were about equal, but the RPM beat both of them for me.

[@3800S1]

I was interested in this video as the efi manifold is almost the same design as the ecotec V6 ones here in Aus (3800 II) and they do as what in this video, good at low end but suck at the high revs. The older 3800 1 use an improved aussie specific version of the US LN3 manifolds with short straight shot tapered trumpets into a common 1.7L plenum. I did the calc once and the ideal rpm for that manifold is somewhere around 7500- 8000 rpm where the later ecotec ones with the long S bend runners is more like 5500-6000. Explains partly why the older engines made better NA engines when hotted up despite having much smaller valves.

I second that I've seen Big dogs porting "shorten" the intake runners by porting the intake runners(on cast units) in such a way as to blend them all together in the upper portion of the runner and essentially lengthen the "plenum" portion of it. Supposedly it moved the rpm range of the intake and they are able to see tremendous gains, but I haven't seen any numbers myself.

[@bigdogsportingtonyb2833]

Hey Richard. the way you improve the Tubular gt40 manifolds upper rpm pull is to increase the manifolds static airflow abilities. I know you say you've tested ported gt40 manifolds but we have yet to see anyone port these things the way we do and get them to work so well. We have customers that's peaking past 6,000rpm with our stage 2 and higher with our stage 3 ported tubulars. the stock tubular gt40 manifold suffers from the lack of throttle body tunnel flow and the runners flow is low and out of balance from bank to bank so its low flow and a non optimized AFR from bank to bank because of that. The TB tunnel only flows around 800-840cfm and if you install vac sensor on the TB tunnel and measure at wot on a decent engine you will see it pull a lot of vacuum. We've tested tons of different manifolds when working on our porting programs, cut them open and picked them apart. I'm a master fabricator and a degreed engineer with over 30 years experience. Runner wave length tuning on the 3rd wave accounts for 8-10% cfm boost of the runners static flow. If you dramatically increase the statics flow you can keep the hp from falling off as the rpm climbs and boost power even more in the lower to middle rpm (2nd wave). We have a back to back dyno comparison showing this very thing. A shorter runner lower flowing aftermarket manifold vs a higher flowing stock runner length (15" runner plus a 1" spacer and a 1/2" nitrous plate) 302 base Cobra gt40 manifold. The Cobras power curve shot up quicker, made more power everywhere and made more power up top over the shorter runner lower flowing manifold without falling off all the way till 6,200-6,300rpm where they stopped the dyno pull. A stock Tubular gt40 manifold 302 base has a bolted together average runner flow of 200-210cfm. We have gotten the tubulars to flow as much as 320cfm with our stage 3 cut, modified and welded max porting and modified with expanded TB tunnel. We weld in extra material in key places in order to reshape the runners for increased flow. You have to see them In person and test them for yourself to believe lol. looking forward to working with you on that👍

[@richardholdener1727]

I would like to test them-but if you don't change the runner length-you don't change the reflected wave (one of the three forms of charge filling associated with intake design-Reflected Wave, Inertial Ram and Hemlholtz resonance). are you also not changing the flow of the tubes in any way of the tubular GT40 or are you running a Cobra upper that provides more flexibility to porting and modifications?

[@bigdogsportingtonyb2833]

@@richardholdener1727 right, on the tubular you don't have to change the wave tuning length to get them to carry the hp higher in the rpm band. You can increase the static flow and the areas in the manifold runner that has the mcsa. When you do that you increase the rpm at which the runners air velocity goes sonic. That's also how we get the LS truck manifold to carry its hp higher in the rpm curve, by increasing its static airflow as much as we can for the application. Its similar to running the frequency of a band pass subwoofer enclosure. I use to design and build them and there were several ways we could tune them. Box volume, port length and port CSA. I've seen a test where a Stock tubular gt40 manifold had a hp rpm peak at 6,600rpm. If that motor had our stage 2 or stage 3 ported tubular on it the overall power would have been considerably higher. Shoot me a your contact information and I can send you the back to back dyno results that I spoke of earlier. [e-mail]

[@bigdogsportingtonyb2833]

@@richardholdener1727 There was a test done by Motortrend back in 01' where they took a healthy 347 and tested several manifolds one being a 302 based Tubular gt40 manifold that had the lower Extrude honed (those tend to flow a lot less than our ported lowers . We have flow tested them to verify this) but the upper and its major restrictions were stock. They also tested the tubular with a smaller 70mm throttle body while the other manifolds tested had a bigger 75mm throttle body. Well the results were: Tubular Gt40 450hp @ 6,600rpm. TFS R 475hp @ 6,500rpm. Systemax 2 474hp @ 6,300rpm. Victor 5.0 481hp @ 6,600rpm. Although the gt40 manifold had the longest runners of them all they still all peaked around the same rpm. Had that gt40 had our stage 2 or stage 3 porting (with a much higher and better balanced static runner and throttle body tunnel flow) modifying on its upper, lower, throttle body tunnel and ran with a 75mm throttle body like the other manifolds it would have made the most hp everywhere in the tested rpm range. Dramatically increase the longer runner static cfm flow and you will extend the rpm that it can support hp at.

[@michaellehmann2803]

What intake should you compare the Edelbrock Performer to? How about the Edelbrock Performer (EFI version)? Also I had a thought on that Explorer elbow test. Putting the 90 degree elbow slightly reduced power compared to the straight shot into the throttle body, but if you are running the fox body throttle body placement, there will be a very similar 90 degree bend in the air intake tube. So what would really be a fair comparison (based on how it would be installed in a car) would be the Explorer elbow with a straight intake tube and air filter compared to the fox throttle body setup with the fox style intake tube and air filter. I’m thinking that would probably equal out the power differences.

[@joequixotic3039]

Richard, the king of budget SBF EFI intakes is the Explorer from a junkyard. The way to improve it is to port the lower. It requires a little welding so you don't break through in a couple spots but it increases and equalizes the flow from port to port and it's not that expensive... If you pull the whole engine, then port the lower, add a cam and Holley Terminator, that's a $2,000 combo unless you swap heads. If you start with the same Explorer motor, add a cam, an Edelbrock Performer RPM, a Holley 750 and a MSD distributor, you are probably also around $2,000 so the comparison makes sense. If you want a better intake, the Holley Systemax, Trick Flow (long runner) and Edelbrock Performer RPM all seemed to be pretty close in power so pick one.

There may be a case for better fuel atomization depending on air temp you're running inside the dyno, but a ton of dyno tests in Hot Rod Magazine et al prove...there was maybe a 5 hp difference when this was done, and that was easily chalked up to operator error. As for this test, you compared a long runner intake to a short runner intake (the wet one) and voila, the hp peaked exactly where everyone thought it would. Now we get into the aspect you're talking about, two different intake designs and the engine is getting air with different velocities, densities, etc. But again, different intake designs make for an apple to orange comparison. For the new guys, this test is news about an engine they know little about in an age of LS, but for us old guys, a "breadbox" short runner intake compared to the carb would have been less apples to oranges.

Where’s the downs ford box intake? Since it fit the lower gt 40 .

[@___Aaron___]

also hey Richard.. have you ran a stock block 302 with fully punched out trickflow170s 61cc chambers, cobra upper gt40 lower 70mm throttle body, 60lb injectors, 70mm turbo on3 setup basically, with a full msd setup. with 3 inch downpipe to flowmaster super 44s deltas. ive got this exact same setup except ive tuned it myself with a ms2pnp . there's no dynos where I live "7hours away". would like to kno what the power and torque would be.. thanks man great video. love the Windsor content... also I pick a authentic FULL 93 svt cobra intake that's had Tmoss's touch added to it. those things make and hold power lmfao.

[@richardholdener1727]

the turbo would decide how much power that makes

[@TheFARM2019]

How about some love for the 351 and the truck intakes 🧐 not that i have an invested interest in seeing a comparison

[@craizygolf1980]

WOULD U MAKE THE SAME TEST ON A FORD 5.8L ?

[@roadragerescues]

I’d like to see the gt40 style upper vs gt40 with a box style upper test. Both NA and boosted.

[@richardholdener1727]

the box loses a lot of power through most of the curve-na and boosted

[@roadragerescues]

@@richardholdener1727 About how much lost? What happens to torque?

Any Carb based intakes running EFI in the testing que? (Victor Jr EFI)

Is it possible to convert a carbureated 302 off a 1973 Ford Econoline van converting it into efi by swapping the upper Intake off a efi 302 non HO and using the computer from a non ho 302?

[@richardholdener1727]

NEEDS WIRING HARNESS AND DIST AND SENSORS TOO

[@califas69]

@@richardholdener1727 is it possible that the upper intake manifold will fit it?

@@richardholdener1727 the 302 efi upper plenum to a 1973 carbureated 302?

[@richardholdener1727]

you will need the entire EFI system, upper and lower and tb and injectors and rails and sensors etc...

[@Bozemanjustin]

Mathematically speaking a 650 CFM carburetor will allow a 5 liter motor to spin to 7500 RPMs A 600 CFM carburetor will spin it to 6,800 RPMs You should have more vacuum, and better throttle response as well if you were using a 600 rather than the 750.

[@richardholdener1727]

that rpm formula based on displacement does not take power into account

[@EdwardGolner]

A box upper for the GT40 lower.

[@dannykichar9066]

Richard should have run edelbrock performer against gt 40 then run performer rpm and victor jr against better efi manifolds and afr heads

[@richardholdener1727]

IT HAS ENOUGH HEAD FLOW, VIC JR. IS NOT GOOD FOR A STREET 302

[@91MustangLX]

Holly systemax II is my choice

[@srvanddt1]

How come you did not compare a Edelbrock Performer EFI intake to the carb version? I remember reading that the Performer RPM carb intake out flows the GT40 intake. That would have been a better comparison.

[@richardholdener1727]

it's not flow

[@95Sn95]

Does anybody make a carb style intake all ready for injectors or is that a total custom deal, I think it would be pretty trick if you could run a carb style intake with a side mounted efi throttle body adapter and out perform any factory unit. The sbf Holley high ram with the side TB top is pretty sweet but really expensive but not much more if any than a performance oem style intake from like trick flow.

[@JDV5210]

Do you have a dart 302?? Are 1996-1997 5.0 engines poured better?

[@richardholdener1727]

no and no

[@hondatech5000]

People that consider themselves hot rodder or enthusiasts, think things like injectors too big, when you have programmable efi… that was my lol part of this one. Since I was named mr lol :p

[@Uncle_Chuck]

Just hate how you never show the actual dyno run at full noise you know we love that stuff

[@richardholdener1727]

I showed the dyno run

[@haatch999]

3:40 omg thats the best i mean u nailed it 5.0 sound died on i was laughing my ass off

[@xonsightx]

Please help !!!! I have a 302 I'm rebuilding and I will be going with a carb setup. Most likely a 750, with that being said I have plans on using a E303 cam with 1.6 roller rockers because I heard it's the best cam when going with a carb setup. My cousin is dead set on getting me to use an F303 cam because he used one in the past with a carb setup and loved it. Please give me you oppion on which cam you think will work better. I will be using GT40P heads ported and polished with new springs of course and I don't plan on using any boost.

[@richardholdener1727]

either cam will work-they don't care about it having a carb. Pick the cam that does the other things you need like idle quality, drivability, mpg etc...The bigger cam will make more peak power but less down low

[@xonsightx]

@@richardholdener1727 thanks so much for replying man. I love watching your videos and look forward to seeing even more of them.

[@2ndsspz]

not to mention the GT40 intake is like 40 million peso's

[@GurjB]

Yay!

[@rmarzino]

Never mind about the camshaft

What are the chances you could find an old Hartman power box to test

[@richardholdener1727]

WE HAVE ONE-BUT IT IS FOR A STOCK HO LOWER
