He made a brief appearance in TonyMontana's thread so I assumed this project was completed and racing.

A package showed up this afternoon, so I spent a few hours making lines for the fuel system.

The middle regulator feeds fuel to the nitrous system. I scrapped my original solenoid bracket I made way back in this thread. I will be making a bracket to hold the fuel solenoid as soon as possible.

I also made progress mounting the intank fuel pump, but ran into a small snag. Just need one small fitting to make it work.

I will be back at it tomorrow running more lines.

Nice work, I love the way you run separate feed lines instead of a T and a 90 like so many multi carb setups. That's how it should be.

That is looking very nice! Question in case I missed it, but how much nitrous you going to run?

Eventually as much as a BP can injest. Fuel system is capable of anything I throw at it. That is a ways away.

Plan is is two stages. One stage is on poly lines and the 2nd stage on hard lines. The poly lines can flow up to about 175 hp of nitrous. They are much easier to deal with during the learning and tuning stage. Once it’s figured out the 2nd hardline stage will go on the top side of intake. Hard lines can flow much more, but I have no idea how much I can run at one time.

I suspect you could hit 700whp with nitrous if you tried assuming the rods/pistons could take that. At that point I think the bottom end is going to wear out very quickly from overloading the bearings and not having enough stiffness to prevent distortion.

I have my doubts I could make that much power on nitrous alone. I think I can get the job done with less than 500 whp.

Thx. I was thinking that is what he had already done, but in a previous iteration of the car.

I understand the confusion. His car has just taken several generations to complete.

mod needs to add "dreaming of" pre-title, and "before retirement" post title.

Made a little more progress yesterday despite the windy cold weather. I figured out how I am running the aluminum lines, where to mount the extra long filter, and how to modify pump hanger to get the most out of the Aeromotive 340 pump.

For wiring, I will be copying Savington’s electrical bulkhead solution.

Sixshooter, TonyMontana, and RyanG came to lend a hand and for moral support.

I took a couple of pics.





Damn, 54 degrees sure is cold! Let's build a fire!

Got a little more done today. Pretty much used all the parts I could use. Unfortunately, some of the routing ended up different than anticipated, so I ordered more parts, including the EFI Hardware bulkhead connectors.
