If you guys want to see a Real Slide Throttle set up.... go to
www.enginemanagementsystems.com Look in the products section .... I think
you'll find these a bit more then adequate.... by the way they were all
built by a racer in his own shop....
You can then see how Current day racers are handling these needs...
I saw what I would consider to be the ultimate in Mechanical injection last
Thursday.... on Ted Wenz car at Road Atlanta... it was a timed Lucas port
injection system..... funny thing was it was done in 1972.... bet there has
been some minor progress since then...( duhhh )
