slowboy says SAFC?

[red91gst]

Just to clear things up...

You CAN run just an AFC, larger injectors, and a fuel pump WITHOUT an AFPR. We've done this for years on 420A turbo kits and this is why we sell the kit this way. From experience, running a 1:1 FPR, 550s, and a fuel pump, you will not be able to pull enough fuel out with an AFC unless you lower fuel pressure considerably.

Also, the AFC works great on a 420A to TAKE OUT FUEL. If you try to add in fuel, and send more than 5v to the ecu from the MAP signal, you know what happens.

I would reccommend against just a rising rate regulator with no rpm dependant fuel control as it is near impossible to get it right, especially with 550s.

Also, the car idles great without an AFPR with corrections at the AFC. We send our kit with AFC settings to get you very close, fine tuning is recommended.

If you also have EXPERIENCE with this please post, but keep the hearsay by buddy did it on some forums somewhere along time ago and made 1000hp somewhere else.

The SAFC does not work on all 420a's. I have EXPERIENCE and my car is one of them. The factory ECU is just to sensitive and threw codes at cold startup only. after warm the codes would clear and remain just fine. As for tuning different injecots, that too is inconsistant. I was able to get my DSM 450's idling decent when a friend of mine couldnt get his 440's to idle for squat. 95/96 cars are no issue because the ECU would allow a lot of conditions to pass but 97+ ends up getting tricky. Kinda like using a Missing link on the 96 model year. if you have any EXPERIENCE you would not understand how some 96's do not need a missing link yet others do.

For the record i had a SAFC installed on my 96 and 97 420a.

I would have to say slowboy racing usually knows what they are talking about, as I did call them onetime several months ago and they were running this set-up on most of their cars. Now before we go trying to disprove a shop that has a lot of experience, maybe a demonstration would be helpful on video to see exactly how slowboy is running this setup.

Nate I know your trying man, but I think its gonna take a lil more to prove people that are set in their ways wrong.

Sounds like a great idea!!! I like the way you think Rand...I feel like I have been enlightened in some way...
