Edelbrock ProFlo EFI

Getting the EFI unit to fit under the hood

About this Mopar:

Year
1968
Make
Dodge
Model
Charger R/T
I won't lie; I was sweating this one out. After going to the lowest drop base for the air cleaner I found that the height of the unit was going to be tight. I'd wasn't too sure if I could get the hood to close. After I had my friends come over to help install the hood last weekend my fears came true...the freakin hood and air cleaner we're arguing over real estate. This sucked because I really wanted to use the original un-silenced air cleaner. So, I did a dive for something that would fit. Summit had this K&N base with a 2 5/8 height from the throttle body to the top.... long story short I still had to shave off another 3/8 of an inch off the neck to get the clearance I was after. FYI anybody that's attempting to install the ProFlo on their second gen Charger beware of the tight hood space. Still have a couple if things to attach to the base but it FITS :thumbsup:

After chasing my tail, refusing to acknowledge that a street EFI engine will be happier with the LSA recommended....112-114. so out with the purple shaft. I reached out to Howards cams and we came up with a cam profile that will get the job done. Finished up installing the new bump stick Saturday, went thru all the necessary precautions with the break-in, 2000 rpm for 20 min. varying the RPM a hundred or so throughout the run. No issues, engine has lost a little of the rumpity rump out the pipes at idle but it has a more refined tone.... kinda like the new stuff.
Numbers are the bomb... vacuum at 800 rpm was 21 InHg, more than adequate for the dual diaphragm booster.... Throttle response is super, no lag or hesitation. So now I've gotta get back in and re-install the power booster and MC. I hate making more work for myself by being stubborn. So, the moral of the story.. if your going to go all in with EFI make sure your bump stick is right for the application. it'll save you a shitload of time and aggravation.
