Thanks Ron.....it's coming together. Have a few small things left to take care of and I can fire it up. Hopefully with the next few days depending on time.

Forgot to throw this one up yesterday...

Coming along nicely. Where did you buy the fuel tank and how much?

 

[11secDSM]

Only a few of these were made but you can contact JM Fab for more info on pricing.

Depends on the pump. Some can pull and not have to be gravity fed...like this one. Specifically says in the instructions it can be mounted above the sump height.

Ok cool I waan't sure I have a 750 im about to install and appearently they didn't see fit to send instruction. good to know thanks

I should be firing the car tomorrow so we'll see how the pump location works out in reality. Worst case, i'll move it down.

I have a Magnafuel 750 that's above the sump. No issues with the little bit I've ran it. I called Magnafuel and told them the pump inlet was a couple inches above the sump and they said that was fine and the pump would actually pull like 11" or something crazy!

 

[11secDSM]

Perfect! They told me the same thing but it's good to hear real world results! Thanks for sharing that info!

Finished up the last of the wiring today and got to fire the car finally. Started on the first crank and everything worked out first try. Can't ask for more! Hopefully i'll have time to drive it around the block a few times this weekend before hitting the dyno on Monday.

The pump primed right up when I turned it on! No issues at all!

A few of us hit Atco this past Saturday. My main goal for the day was to work out any bugs and hopefully get a clean pass in. Well, bugs were definitely present. a) too cold so nitrous bottle pressure was WAY low. Bottle blanket was at home (good place for it). b) wrong nitrous jet was in to get up on the converter. Had a 20 shot in. Needed a 60. c) o/d wasn't turned off in my shift box. Whoops...car shifted into 4th (big no, no as it will burn that gear right up). The good news is I've figured everything out today and am ready for the next trip out.

Here are a few videos (from 3 different people). You can see how long it takes to get up on the converter (and never really does) and you can see me getting off the throttle early in 2 passes when it shifts to 4th. Best pass was 10.5 @ 138. Boost doesn't hit till about 1/4 track and I let off early (right after the 1000' mark)

Good job! If you get the launch down you will reach your build goal for sure!

 

[11secDSM]

I'm pretty pumped for this Saturday. We're able to get up on the converter in about a second and hold it back at 4500. Also got a firmware update on the Forced Four shift box so we should have everything sorted out for this go around.

 

[4gsx63]

Good luck! It will run 9s!

 

[11secDSM]

Thanks!

Do you know what your car weighs? Looks like we should be pretty close except the tubular front end.

 

[11secDSM]

Haven't weighed it honestly....guesstimating 2600 w/o me in it??






Guess I should update this build thread...

Pretty productive day at the track yesterday. Ran a 9.84@138 and backed it up with a 9.68@138 w/ a 1.49 60'. The converter is definitely slipping so i'm trying to figure something out with Mike at Sinister now. **crosses fingers**

And a quick video....
