Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Using a standalone

[LtWacko (LtWacko]

During some recent barstool engineering, we hypothesized that the 308/328  V8 
is a perfect candidate for a standalone like a MOTEC and possibly coils from  
a late GM model V8.  The motors have everything of today's high performance  
cars except modern tuning.  I would be interested in hearing in others that  
have done this.  We were thinking a rebuild with slightly higher  compression 
and then modernizing fuel and timing.  We have done this to  other makes with 
significant improvement.  Do early F-Cars also benefit  greatly?  300hp Plus?

Hi  Ric,

You mentioned you can't tune your EFI with Motec M48 I put EFI and  an M48 on
my 328 motor and with a bit of dyno work it runs like a bird!  What is the
problem you face?

Cheers,
Grahame
