Multiple posts deleted. Childish carrying on to further someone else'* fued will not be tolerated on this Forum.

The two guilty parties are more than welcome to PM apologies to Paul, or PM me for a further explanation of your expected future behavior on this Forum. You are here about a love for a car, not for a political interpersonal drama.

Am I doing something wrong.

I am trying to post my modification plans and progress for others to copy and benefit and all I invite is ridicule and digs from my fans. :?

I guess i have to ask again.... because my post was deleted


I see you are taking care of cooling at the track (electric wp), and fueling issues (42.5'* and high flow fuel pump), are you planning on adding anymore power adders? I know you picked up the Powertunr and that its self with unleash some power (acutally quite a bit once learned and used right) so that will help, but anymore others.


Edit. After pauls comments that were deleted after i wrote this comment, Could i acutally get this post deleted too. thanx mods

It began today.

The timing was right, so I began tearing down.

Drank a nice bottle of Flying Canoe.
Stopped now for a bottle of wine with dinner.

Tomorrow will remove Genny5 for thorough inspection.

Pay attention, keep your mouth shut, watch and learn.
Don't worry, I will probably ask more questions than you.

I just might try something way out in left field...........got some ideas.


Some before pics.

Those are socket head cap screws with ground washers. Stainless.

I gave them to him. Much better lifetime than the smaller button heads.

Looks like they sent the correct Walbro pump with the siphoning connection to get every last drop out of the fuel tank.
Also using a secondary wiring kit to get the fuel pump power directly from the alternator as well as the battery. Supposed to provide 1 to 2 volts increase for even higher fuel capacity. We'll see.

Got the Bin file for the new Fuel trim reprogamming for the 42.5# injectors.

Installing the larger water injection nozzle. It'll suck a can of beer down in one minute at WOT.

Trying to decide whether or not to go back to the stock fuel pressure regulator but I think I'll keep it. I like being able to adjust the pressure a little high to be safe.
