Default Call Out SW

Spencer I ordered some parts Today and I know you are working on your truck so this won't be any hurry. I figured I would get my Butt cut by the biggest Whipple and work my way down. This is for a Hamburger and a Beer!! Also a Handshake for Fun!! Thank You Mitch. Remember I have a Eaton.

Default Drama??

I don't know why! Come to the track and I'm sure there are a lot of people you will race you. I work on a 2002 nice camaro who we race each other all the time. I think I have only seen your car once or twice it looks and sounds really good,I'm trying to start a pole on who would like to go to Darlington on a Saturday for a lot of fun runs for all. Mitch

Yup. She's dialed in right now. I'm in the process of setting up a race tune to use with some VP. I'll push it to about 18* of spark at WOT with 20-22 PSI. Should be a nice ride.

Yeah, they should. Bob has run that much boost with his truck without showing any signs of sucking the injectors dry. 24 PSI seems to be the mark where these set-up's start to starve for fuel. If/when I plan to push it that far, some serious fuel system modifications will be made.

Basically, all the 3.4L guys are twiddling our thumbs waiting for someone other than RC to release some larger than 60# High Impedence injectors. RC's would be okay but they want way too much for them ($600+). Plus, SCT hasn't released any new Value Files yet for larger injectors. However, it could be done with some math and scaling up or down of the injector tables.

My plan for about 6 months from now is:

- Magnafuel Pro-Tuner 625 Fuel Pump
- 12-15 Gallon Fuel Cell
- Larger fuel lines
- 75# or 750cc High Impedence Fuel Injectors

That should take care of all the fueling needs this blower may want.

Default Fuel Cell

I'm working with a company in Florida about the fuel cells. I have been sick so I have drawn every possible way to keep the cell and the tank. I have it completed all I have to do is make sure on the size and shape of the fuel cell. I'm thinking between 6 to 8 gallons with twin baffles which will stop any fuel movement. How much boost are you going to run on the 60lb injectors with c-16 fuel. We have run Approx 22 to 24 according to Art Whipple You won't need that because we have clean air up to about 22 lbs then according to Art it starts getting Hot. I had talked to JDM about for the race tune change to larger injectors bigger MAF # 8 return hose which they have already done and ran the boost and HP way up. A lot of swapping to Race, I keep hoping they will get a happy middle where we can run both Mitch.

I'm only planning to make a max of 22 PSI with my current fuel system. I wouldn't feel comfortable going any further than that.

Why would you want a fuel cell and keep the stock tank with it??? That's a lot of weight...

Not if you go to the track with the stock tank almost empty. It is such a pain to pump out the tank and fill with C16,then when you pump the race fuel back out,there is always a certain amount of 93 left in the tank. Do this a couple of times and the race fuel is diluted and you don't have true C16 fuel. We feel it would be a lot easier to have a cell and turn a switch..........
