    Iskwezm's turbo kit

    if you're using a carb, then use a -10 return. the a1000 will work (that's what i use). i'm using the stock tank also.

    Got a decent mph at the track last night

    i upgraded the 65 amp 14 years ago (i don't even remember to what). the alt was only charging 12.9 under load (hi-beams & fan). made a pass missing badly at 11.00. connected a portable battery jumper to the batt while i made the next pass- 10.57 breaking up less. charged the batt and the...

    Got a decent mph at the track last night

    they do have 2 grooves. lol. they are brand new, so that helped, but i went 40mph and had to pull over and stop ALOT. wet roads didn't give me a problem, but running water did. it was a lonnng ride home. i've driven 2hrs to race before. it's a street car, so i race it at the track in the...

    Alternator question

    i don't blame you there. the gm alt can be wired as a 1-wire. just goes from the alt to the batt side of the starter solenoid. doesn't get much easier than that.

    Anybody heard anything about this carb style EFI?

    there are only 4 injectors (max 83#- eqiv to ~8 42# inj), so if you're making alot of power, they use a plate with secondary injs. not saying it's bad or good, just something you need to be aware of. also, the inj is placed in the unit at a very shallow angle (almost laying down). it sprays...

    1.60 60' 6.47@114. last year on my 10.00@137 run = 1.58 60' [email protected]. so i gained 3.5 mph in the 1/8. the converter is a bit looser. 2200 on the foot brake last year, 3000 this year. i don't know how it's doing on the bnig end, since i didn't get a clean 1/4 run. the w/b said 11.0 (i shoot...
