what do you mean? What would you guys use for oil I'm told it has to be at least 14% DHHP real oil I use to put Valvoline VR1, but the builder said it doesn't have enough DHHP

Post some pictures of your engine and the EFI unit. Is your builder suggesting herbal health products for your engine or is he trying to say that VR1 doesn't have enough ZDDP? VR1 is a top rated oil for flat tappet engines and has an excellent friction package.

Nice! Ive been thinking TBI for a while on a 455. Popping on decel is rich fuel, or oxygen getting into the exhaust via a leak or both. Is this EFI-TBI a closed or open loop system? Popping at idle is too much timing or a vac leak or both. Is that HEI a new unit or was it pulled from a smog era engine?
