damn it i am at a problem...

got the aeromotive 340 and a wire harness upgrade... pretty sure that wont support the new OD crank balancer...

so BAP it?
walbro 400? 1 or 2? think 1 should do it. keep it returnless
aeromotive stealth kit? return setup?

will tell you all this. this WILL be a 1000+ HP car someday. thats why i built the motor the way i did. but i will have to build the rest of the car to support the power obviously.

but that someday i cant be for sure when... probably years from now and ill pull the motor and inspect it. cause ill get big CNC heads/cams etc. so im just looking for a fuel system that will support this 700 crank est. till then. thanks

appreciate any help or ideas.

Spend once and save in long run. You are looking at two pumps... Run on edge and you may wish you paid a little more for adequate fuel.

Expensive but glad I bought the fore innovations return system with dual 465's. With the right injector they will certainly make 1000hp even off e85. Most won't ever see that much power but over 600 and you need to look that direction.

Over 600 and I would definitely consider moving away from the returnless system

ok CROWN!!! next question. so say i go to a return setup... seeing how the car is setup for pulse modulated setup and returnless etc etc... will the car run enough to get it onto a trailer to be tuned? thanks

have your tuner get u a base tune.. Also depends how it is setup. I still use my frps and fpdm. Was how Lito preferred to set it up. Otherwise no

If you go return make sure that the injectors you get have a short minimum pulse width. With a returnless setup the delta pressure can be changed in the tune for low rpm use so the minimum pulsewidth isn't as important. When you go to a return setup the pressure is regulated mechanically so it will be whatever the max amount needed is. This will require a short minimum pulsewidth for normal low rpm driving. This is why ID injectors are so popular, because of the ultra low minimum pulsewidth they are capable of.

HAHA good idea!

hey am i going to have to upgrade the MAF? i have the stock GT one still

stock gt MAF is same as gt500. Limit on MAF counts is like 1029 or somewhere around there. I encountered issues at 17 lbs of boost with the JLT 110. That is why I went with a larger cai.. I now use the jlt cf 127 cai (which will not fit under stock hood). Now I am around 22-23 psi with that cai and close to maxing out the maf again but still in limits (around 900-950).

When running the 127 at 17 lbs I was able to use a small shot of nitrous thru the filter (maf counts in check). Now that I am at the edge of the range in maf counts making more boost, I can not use the dry nitrous thru the maf as I had in the past, maxxes out the maf (more density).

so, if you approach the limit either a ba5000, mafia etc.. but many tuners do not like them if avoidable (me either). I solved my issues with a larger cai and if I want to run a small shot of nitrous thru the filter like before I will need to go with a jlt 148.. which is why I am going to a wet system post maf

It all depends on how much air and how big the container is.

In your case, I would see where you are before going out and spending any money. I may go ahead with the 148 anyway, and if I do I would sell my 127 if you have the hood clearance

Well I am a F$%&king idiot! I'm trying to find the starter for the car... got the driveshaft in. And I came across the damn plate that goes between the motor and transmission... how critical is this!?!?

Yeah, that's kinda important. I'd pull the trans/flywheel and install it. The good news is that the trans r/r goes quicker the second time.
