    Stop Passing Out Bogus Information R)

    I run projection on my Scrambler, and while it is great, there is no way it can give you more horsepower over a properly adjusted carb of the correct size. It also may help fuel enconomy somewhat, but not to the tune of 24 mpg on a ECJ with a :v6:

    You can use a Pro-Jection on most any engine if you match up the throttle body size and injectors with your what engine needs. My aforementioned Scrambler has 9.5-1 compression McCandless shortblock, Hughes ported heads, and a Hughes cam with 230/238 duration at 0.50 lift and .515/.536 lift and the ProJection works fine on it.

    The main advantage to the Pro-Jection is its ability to operate on angles, but it won't run upside down. :rofl: How would you get fuel from the tank? ;)

    The other advantage is that it is very easy to adjust, even while driving. However, in no way can any NA induction change the volumetric efficiency of an engine, and 24 MPG with "5.33 gears" on a stock Dauntless is just not something that is going to happen. (It isn't even port injection)

    Please keep it civil. The information was not posted to mislead anyone. He used a dyno, this is what he got. Others may get differnt results. The original purpose of this thread was to give the results he made for his motor, and not really sell anything or tell everyone to do it the same way. So it is unfair to just rip him apart becuase there was no malais in the original post, or any attempt at malicious misinformation. He just psoted what info he had. So please be courteous and not make accusations of bogus info.
