    Standard pinto head vs Sierra injected pinto head

    Hi chaps, what sort of flow and horsepower figures if both were in standard form on a standard bottom end with the same induction. Want to know how much better the injection head is over a pinto?

    the injection head is a considerable improvement, IIRC its about 10% better on intake flow. if i can find one of each unmodified i would back to back flow test them.

    in power terms hard to say, it somewhat depends on the engine spec, if you had two totally standard engines, but one had the injection head, i guess youd see 5bhp difference, but if you talking an engine with a cam and better induction i would expect the difference to be more
