Learning to make fast go fast!

No I have thought about it but haven't done it till now. That tool sits in the cylinder bore and you spin it while applying pressure down and the blade cut to the depth you have set. Then you install the ss wire and copper gaskets made for the o ring setup.

Sounds pretty simple and easy. I'll have to look into it next summer.

How much do u think u will pick up power wise with the bump in compression?

I'm thinking somewhere around elevindy billion and one.

I think you can figure out that second sending unit.

I may remove the tank today and check it out.

Running this kid of boost I would think around 100 hp. I think it was around 900rwhp before to be able to run the time it did at 4000 lbs. That is what the online calculators show anyhow.

Close.

He'll yea man getting into the 8's should not be a problem, what makes it pretty sweet is that it's still a street car that's nuts!

 

[05stroker]

These current mods are looking great. I think that shooting for 8:50's is going to take the "street car" label away.

Yea I may be reaching a little far on that 8.50 comment. The calculators show at my current weight of 3960 with driver that it would take 1274 rwhp to get an 8.50 at 157 mph. I think a goal of 8.80 and find some weight loss would be a better goal for this year.

Heads are done and ready to go to the machine shop tomorrow. They cced at 51.5 and will have .020 taken off the deck to get to 50cc where I want them.





I also got the head studs out and have the block prepped for the o ring grooves after the head gaskets get here this week.





Here is a pic of what will be my new meth manifold. Im going to machine down two sides so it will mount strait and give me a good area to tap for the fittings. I never liked the plastic lines running under my intake like I had them. This, when finished, will mount on the pass. side sub frame and all the nozzles will be under my throttle body inlet so they will not drip on the MAF sensor anymore. I am also going to cut the pipe that the MAF is in and re-clock it to place the MAF on the outside of the pipe.

How close to the cylinder do the o rings sit?

Depends on what head gaskets you buy. That is why I am waiting till they get here. After I mark the bore of the gasket with a scribe, the o ring will 1/4 larger diameter or 1/8 to the center of the grove. This is per the SCE directions that came with the tool.

Looking good Billy. I wish i was closer, id love to lend a hand.

 

[psfracer]

I really like what you have posted so far with the head port work (of course) and now the o-ringing of the block. This is just oozing tech. Really informative.

Thanks, I am still waiting one the head gasket. I called Summit and they said they would SCE contact tomorrow and email me on what they say.

I have stock head gaskets

Yes, but you don't have 11.6:1 comp and 23 psi...

 

[Department Of Boost]

Yes, but you don't have 11.6:1 comp and 23 psi...

What was your compression/boost before?

 

[05stroker]

What was your compression/boost before?

9.0:1 with 23 psi.

This little guy turned out nice. I'm only running three Meth nozzles right now but will have the option for two more now if needed.

Got a little work done this weekend. I removed the factory gas tank and all unnecessary wiring tubes ect from under the car. There is a TON more room under there now! No more issues with fuel level and now removing the over the axle tubes is a breeze.

I also swapped the MAF to the outer side of the Procharger intake pipe and filled the holes in the inlet pc from the Meth and N2O nozzles. Now they will soon go to Polydyn to get recoated.



I then went to work fitting the Fore fuel hat to the fuel cell I bought here. I found the the cell was close to 10" inside while my fuel pump was around 8 1/4".






I went and bought some new line and extended the pumps to where they will set 1/2" of the bottom of the cell.





Here is a shot of it installed. I am going to redo the wiring to clean it up some when I do the new fuel lines.



I then started testing the fuel gauge. With just the pump installed, it would show just over 1/2 tank and with the sending unit from the pass side installed it would read the same. The only way the gauge seems to work correctly is with both units in tandem. I am going to look through the wiring diagram manual and try to figure out a way to make it work without the pass side sending unit. If not I will cut the cell and mount the sending unit where the fill hole is and cut a new fill hole towards the rear of the tank to make it easier to fill. I could just spin the tank to put the fill hole at the rear but then the fuel pump would not be able to be removed without disconnecting the cell and spinning it.

Can you attach both floats to the same pump? Maybe one higher than the other?

I could but that would require drilling the Fore hat to pass the wires to the top. I have been looking at the diagrams and have something I want to try tomorrow night.
