460 EFI build
I have a 1990 Ford F250 with a fuel injected 460. Im planing on rebuilding the engine with performance parts and turbo charging it. I want to update the old fuel injection with a new ECU that i can program for different situations. I was thinking of going with an XFI unit from FAST. anyone have any experience with XFI or any other performance ECU's? i would apreciate any advice.

I'm doing something along the same lines. I have a 78 460 in carbueretor form right now. My friend and I are contemplating a system from Megasquirt. But using a carb blow threw set up is still in consideration. We're searching out info for the easiest route to go. Cost really isn't a concern. Tuneability and set-up are the biggest concerns right now. The plan is a mid-sized turbo for street/strip use. We are thinking 700-800 Hp isn't that hard to do.
After doing some research I'd like to hear/see how a 460 performs, idling and part throttle, with the Jon Kaase P-51 aluminum heads. Jon built a mostly stock engine with his heads and a big solid lifter cam and made 690hp--Dang! Scroll down to "Ford Power Test" and read from there.

Like I said I'm still researching what I'd want from the engine. I think with a mid sized turbo the engine might behave better under cruising conditions on the street. Not sure though.

-Terrell460, I like your plan. I actually purchased a turbo about two years ago with big plans. Unfortunately, due to finances, that is as far as it has gotten.
-My plan included megasquirt for tuning. I should think any of the stand alone offerings would work though.
-Check out the turbo forums dot com as an excellent source of turbo info
-Good luck and keep us posted.
Happy Modding
Eric
