Progress since last year

[santa]

I put the car on the dyno last fall up at MAP. It did pretty good for 20psi. Hoping to run around 35psi in a few weeks. Then I will head back to the rollers. Fuel (E85) is limiting me to 20psi (need another fuel pump).

[Swifty1638]

Not shabby buddy! What pumps you running? Might I suggest what I got!?

I was most likely going to throw another wally in it. I would rather not listen to a big external pump all the time while I drive. I can't even hear the current 255 in there. I also considered the bocsh 044 pump as well. What pump's do you have?

[Swifty1638]

twin wally 310's..

-A. Swift

[santa]

I'll have to look into that.

[turbotalon1g]

twin 310s unneeded. swifty just has them so he can talk shit, like he is gonna break 800 or even touch 1000whp the 310s are capable of.


About time kevin, can't wait.

[Swifty1638]

talk shit on having fuel pumps? Sorry, I don't like running out of fuel. Most run out of pump before they even run out of injector. capable on what gas? saying these 310's are not needed, is like saying those twin aero 1k's are not needed on the FDSM...geez.

Trying to put a race car together but being a hack? Sorry but my cars run and I don't remember you ever having to worry about fuel esp. at 500whp hell you would barely outrun 1 310 at 500whp and thats if you did it at DB.

The car is down for a week or two until I can get some tires put on it. My left rear tire was flate this mornging. The side wall is really cracked. Its time for some new rubber... Anyone got something?? 225 50 r16 or 245 45 r16??? lol

[Swifty1638]

meh...It's called planning ahead.

Now childeren settle down. lol! I'm still open to ideas on fuel pumps. I considered the new fuel lab brushless pumps but idk if I want to do a external pump

[Super Bleeder!!]

I'd go with an oem pump, like the bosche or one of the ford choices.

[JET]

I run a bosch -044 and it isn't all that noisy for an external. You can hear it when you turn the car on before it is started, but while running you can't hear too much and I have zero sound deadening back there right now and even a few holes where I ripped the bracing out from back there in prep for the cage and the basketball sized hole for fuel cell access.

[FattyBoomBatty]

I vote twin 255's in the tank. Why not?

[santa]

Hmmm decisions to make..... LOL.

[Speedfreak]

I've had the car 4 years now, and those of you the know me. I beat the shit out of the car all the time. I've launched the crap out of it and it keeps coming back for more.

All this has been done on the original 3 bolt that I got the car with.... It has got to be the best 3 bolt EVER!!!!!! I've currently got a 4 bolt waiting to go in... Just waiting on the 3 bolt to crap out of it.

Heres a old picture from last summer of the engine bay.
