I was running 48# Accels on my blower car, FWIW. Tuning can be done, but the engine management system needs to be sophisticated enough to do the fine tuning (ie, you need to have the memory / chip to accomodate a lot of fine-controls). Early Motronic wouldn't be up for it, I wouldn't think, later 80's would be better, a standalone system like a Tec-3, etc would be best. Something you could fine tune with a laptop would be ideal, as you'd likely find you'd want a few programs for each season's temps, etc.
Nice hit though. Glad it looks like only a "small" hit & the heads are good.

You may want to contact Todd Knighton of Protomotive for advice. He is very helpful. Just google Protomotive for contact info. He has been very helpful to me with my Protomotve engine.

Yes, Todd burned the latest chip for my car when my friend owned it. I believe the whole engine/turbo was built by them.
