Not sure how I missed your question..... I have been out of the loop for some time due to an move overseas move. I have gotten settled in now and managed to work up an internet connection so another movie is in the works. I cant give a date or a deadline but hopefully another one will ready soon.

Its been some time since I have made an update to this thread or made another movie. I have been tied up with work obligations and seperated from my car and decent internet since the last update. No worries though I still have my little bundle of joy sitting in a garage just eagerly awaiting the Billet HX40, Punishment Manifold, Wheels and tires and many other projects I have thought up in my head along the way. The conetent should once again start flowing in within the next couple of months so stay tuned and happy boosting.

Its been a while since I made a post. The time has almost come that I will be reunited with the Talon so I need to get caught up on the work I did before my departure.

Below is part one of chasing a lean issue I was having on startup.

All I can say is wow and thank you for this amazing how-to/build thread, I've already bookmarked and added this to my home screen for references. I my self will be beginning my project soon and this is going to help sooo much with a lot of the questions I'm surely going to have thanks again.
 
Part two of the Lean Issue series involves some porting and polishing to sweeten the deal.



Enjoy,
Robert
 
The last and final installment of Diagnosing a Lean Issue consist of drilling and tapping some wholes to log back pressure and run an EGT Gauge. Its chalked full of info you may or may not already know.



Happy Boosting,
Robert
 
Now that all those exhaust leaks are sealed up, we need to test the intake track for boost leaks. Now I know there are a million ways to make a boost leak tester but after several designs, this is what I like to call the ultimate boost leak tester. This tool has been used up to 38PSI with no issues.

Happy Boosting,
Robert

 
Well, it finally happened. I failed my tech inspection at the track a while ago due to a loose battery. I wanted to make some more passes so this is the bracket I fabbed up in a jiffy.

 
My manifold is not ceramic coated. However, FP does offer a ceramic coating for their manifolds through Tirado Custom Coatings.

As for the catch can, it was purchased from a freelancer here @Calan. His Freelancer add can be found in the link below.

FWIW, my 3rd party review is that the can was worth every dollar and consist of sound construction. It solved my excessive crankcase pressure issues, has a washable filter inside to insure longevity and makes for a pretty piece under the hood.

Its time to make use of those holes we drilled into the manifold during the Diagnosing a Lean Condition series.

Enjoy

 
What was suppose to be a simple project has been slightly derailed; we fix that in this episode.

I came on here to watch one video and ended up watching them all in a row. Great job!
 
I just noticed something thanks to Chumpaumpalumpa. My build thread only has ONE rating. If you find this information useful and you like the way its displayed, please take the time to RATE the vehicle profile. This will help others easily find useful information. :D

I finally got a backpressure reading!!!

Enjoy

Even after our suspension upgrades, we are still fighting some issues getting our 60’s to an acceptable number. In this video we add some wheels and tires to the mix.

I watched your two latest videos with your new tires and the results the other day and it had me wondering what your reason was for choosing the Radial tire over the Muscle Car drag tires? My car is similar to yours and I intended on going to go with the latter.
 
The two tires are constructed differently to achieved a desired effect. The Muscle Car Drag tires consist of a Bias Ply construction and contain a much softer sidewall. The radials include a stiffer sidewall at the cost of some “slick” characteristics but with the addition of safe road use.

I tend to drive my car from time to time on the street so I choose to give the radial a shot. So far, the tires have improved my times and achieved the desired effect. If you don’t mind changing tires at the track or do not have to drive far to your track, the Muscle Car Drag tires may better fit you needs.
 
Here is my fastest pass to date!!! Just so happened a Mustang picked me out for this one (watch the first 20 seconds):D
