Actually they initially did have the service port on all the fuel injection systems, but about the time they went to a return-less system and even more so now that a lot of these engines are Direct Injection, there is no service port on the rail.
and yes to quote my original reply, I'm very interested in this combo, just don't want it to be destroyed before I can afford to try it..
I would love to get a group of us together to petition NHRA to change the V8 only rule for SS/GT. I can count the number of cars on one one (maybe it would take 2) hand that are being produced with a V8 these days. Would be nice if we could run those engines, I have talked to Don Kennedy about getting the rule changed as I know he was heavily involved in writing the SS/GT rulebook. He is on board and has attempted to make some calls, no luck getting who he wants on the phone yet but this was a very recent idea.. If there are more people out there interested, keep pushing them for change. It will take a group of us showing interest over just one guy.
Just some info on the engine at hand. There are some very big issues with this engine when you make a lot of power over stock. If someone is really wanting to run this combo I suggest doing your research before turning it up much. Block and Intercooler are the first 2 that come to mind, but I'm not an expert yet and have just dabbled in my research.
