You can surely have the first ride but I want the first ride where Aaron can actually "boost" it!

me want ride in really fast roller coaster.

The great thing about this roller coaster ride is there is no minimum height requirement!

We ran into them at PIR one year when he was running his Bug at the Bug meet actually.

Needs at least 50 miles on it and then it will go to the dyno. There are bound to be some bugs so I dont want to find them on the dyno in the middle of a pull. It'll get the sweet triplecheck in the next few days and then we'll see.

I am gonna have to charge for rides...that way when I get the ticket least its semi reimbursed.

It was initially a tag team, then Jeff finished it up cause he had "ideas" for it. I did the bowl work and opened up the intake a little and smoothed that. Jeff went over the exhaust and got nuts, and then checked the bowls as well to make sure it all was what he wanted it to be before he signed off on it.

Fuel system is more or less done (save the -6 return) so here are a couple of pix to show how we did it. Basic stuff, not too exciting:

sweet injector setup!!

Are you running long injector nozzles that actually protrude into the runner?
Or will short nozzles work ok from that height?

Looks dope Aaron! I'm so excited about my build in the Spring. I have some pretty cool things I want to do. Eric likes to brainstorm!

Thanks guys

Its funny you should mention that because I have had the primaries in both locations to see the effect on power/torque and drivability. It doesnt work with the primaries in the upper location actually. The car would not idle, did not transition well through idle to cruise and made 8whp less at the same boost level.

When I started this build there were no options for an injector that would run well on gas and E85 that would support 800 whp without some pretty large sacrifices. So last year I got one of the first dual rail Magnus intakes with the idea that the stock computer would run the main for and I would use some sort of add'l injector controller for the other 4.

Then came the ID2000s and the FIC 2150s (or the so called 2400s) and then 4 injectors and 800whp was significantly easier and would work on both E85 and gasoline. They work so well I can actually idle them with the O2 feedback on at normal base pressure with no issues. With the higher pressure as I pointed out they will still idle and drive but I have to set it all to open loop and tune it that way.

Aaron,
Put that cam cover on! you have too much money in this thing to loose it over something stupid falling in there. You can take it back off when you're at the dyno

And secondly check your Aeromotive regulator top with the npt barb in it to make sure that the spring doesn't contact the NPT threads on the inside of the regulator top.

Looks amazing Lots of fun. can't wait.

The cover is going to go back on to drive it. I am thinking of playing with the cam timing a little possibly on the exhaust side depending on how things work with the MIVECs increased range. I have it off to look BA right now is all


oh and call me at the shop or my phone...I'll answer.
