Mark,
I am trying to evaluate what to do with the fuel system including the slide throttle. Based on your experience in the real world, why does it bind during operation? Is it the vacuum created by the rotors? Is the coefficient of expansion
using aluminum and Teflon causing binding? I would think vacuum would be greatest at idle then drop off as the hole gets bigger. The holes are teardrop shape on my slide.
I believe I will have some puddling but my plenum is not over the exhaust but some distance away and lower than the ports. If the injectors are closer to the slide I see the potential for a leaking slide to ruin your day. If the injectors
were placed next to the port and downstream from the slide would there still be a potential for puddling?
Where should the air bleed be located? Downstream from the slide? Does it provide air at idle to balance the mixture?
Do gaskets between the spacer and the side plates of the slide seal adequately?
I have a heat shield that surrounds the headers and plan to duct air across the headers to keep temps down under the cowl.
If puddling is not an issue if a metal plenum is used that may be a solution. I originally had this but the metal portion of the plenum got too big.
I am also looking at moving the injectors between the ports and the slide. Appreciate any input.
