That and the fact that the car will never see the track makes all the power almost useless on the street anyway. LOL. Should make for some fun 3rd and 4th gear pulls though. :burnout:
damn, i love reading your build threads because you literally go all out.
lm drooling over your fuel system too.
cant wait for more updates!
Well, with any luck, after this beast is up and running at full capacity, curiosity will get the best him and a trip to the Motorplex will be in order. I know he says it's not set up for drag racing but with the coil overs, Bruce's kit in the rear and slicks.....that is ALL that thing will need to see a single digit time slip. That, and of course the driver's mod but I fully believe it is totally capable.
As far as the curiosity factor goes, I gotta admit, I am a little curious myself as to why you went with the relatively smaller 2.9 as opposed to one of the much bigger blowers? After all, it looks like you are really wanting to produce some big hp numbers. Do tell.....
Big blowers need big boost to justify them. We're talking 25+lbs to make it worth the swap. Plus the 2.9 is enough stress on a street car. And I think it's a "less with more" mentality here as well.
I would love to run it one day @ the 1/4 mile. It's not out of the question....maybe I'll toss the keys to 04sleeper and say "show me how its done!" I know he would drive it to its potential.
As for my blower choice....trust me the 2.9 is more than capable. Recall, my build is focused on compression, with the interest of leaving the boost from 17 - 23 psi.
Coolio...when are you expecting the motor to arrive so all the fun can begin with reassembly?
Hey man, just a quick question. Do you have any input on the fuel pump yet? As far as noise and such.
I'm gonna bump this one to the top as it's now build time! Keep us posted as you hear from John! I'm super excited to see this build play out!
Awesome... What will be left to do after you have this monster engine in, running and the whole overall car looking like a very hot horny super model? lol... congrats bud :beer:
What catback were you running before? Wasnt stingers was it? And what made you choose the Stainless Works over say Bassani or JBA or Magnaflow? Sounds like its coming along.
