Yeah. We had a 364" with a 106mm billet Precision turbo on it. Decided to go big to try to keep up with the Jones's.

Power level should be around 2500-2700 with the 88's.

how much boost?

Right now we only have a 3 bar MAP, so 30psi. But we will be getting a 4 bar so we can turn it up to at least 35psi.

That thing is awesome!! 2500+ HP and a smooth idle, gotta love turbo's!!

Very nice car man!!

cool deal

Thanks guys! Just gotta figure out this starting problem with the mechanical pump.

Are you running a belt drive pump and fuel inj?

I have a Peterson external oil pump, with a hex drive cable going to the rear of the car, and an Aeromotive Atomic hex drive mechanical pump mounted in the rear. The starter turns the motor around 100 rpm, which is not enough to make fuel pressure. We started it with a Weldon 2345, but we're not keeping that in the car. Been trying to figure out how to start it without using a priming pump. We have a BS3, dual 160lb injectors, and I have the starting pulse width at the highest it will go. Still nothing. It will start and run with the mechanical pump using a cordless drill. Any thoughts?

I was thinking down the lines of a check vavle in the fuel line to help hold the fuel psi in the inline. I dont know if this will work or not but worth a try.

bad azz car Chappy .... but what is going to happen when you make that pass and you have all that exhaust heat coming off those headers ???? what if she starts to spu fuel or coolant ???? its going to be all over the windshield ...... just curious

What pulley ratio are you spinning the Peterson pump?

This is gasoline, right? Not methanol?

My current combination has a Red Aeromotive Belt Drive Pump with a single set of 160# injectors. Starts OK without primer pump.

The pipes through the hood idea is just an idea...Not real sure how it's going to work. We've thought about all the possibilities, and we just want to try it. We will quickly change them if it doesn't work. I kinda wanted to point them going outwards, but we will try this and see what happens.
