Well what I had in mind right at the moment is to test
     Bill Schertz
     intake manifold with his permission which will be in
     common with
     several hundred other such manifolds we have sold so far.
     Bill's
     is done I suspect. Is anybody else further along than
     Bill?

     As I understand it Jon your engines are four ports
     correct? Ops... just thought of a gotcha? The intake man
     might
     interfere
     with the oil filter block. Darn. Means we will have to
     ship an engine.
     Anybody have any idea what it cost to ship 250 pounds from
     chicago
     to Long Island?

     I will pay for part of this work. I can also loan one of
     Tracy's EFI
     systems if Bill does not have one and a few spare
     injectors.
     Bill would wind up with a tested engine and a viable EFI
     fuel map.

     I would also be interested in the pressure and temp drop
     across
     your heat exchanger Jon.

Hi Paul...

Will you be starting with a "functional" fuel/ignition map, will it
need to be fine-tuned or developed from "nothing?" Will you or Bill
be here doing some of the work, or do you want me to quote the whole
thing? I think what I should do is review your first list, and I'll
estimate the time to do each item, probably recommend some
boundaries to shorten up the testing since I have a pretty good idea
of what your operating regions of interest are. Then we can pick and
choose...

Jon

Yes I think there is a functional map in Tracy's unit as you receive
it
to get you started. It comes with a programmer so the map can be
changed in the air. Yes I can be there when the time comes. I can also
do the installation 
and instrumentation work.
