Also just set up a sponsorship with a guy that has a caged E55 that's certified for 10.00 so that is the car that will be going to Test and Tunes and we will not be tossed out for running under 11.5!

PS Since everyone seems to think 10's is so easy we are now going for 9's!
You read my mind brotha

Folks that have never run a 10 but think it is a walk in the park will be in for a rude awakening. Just because you hit 11.2 or 11.1 and think you can take off 200lbs of weight or add 30HP in modifications will not get you there.

I thought, well, mathematically if I ran 11.2 at Steele, let me gut my car, add C16 with a tune, and bam, it will happen. The next time at SDR, I was cutting 1.5xx 60's, and still could not crack 10's. Even a 129.75 mph on one of my runs did not get me there.

Weather and track has to be damn near perfect along with the car running really strong to have a hope in hell.

Dual Walboro 340LPH Race pumps arrived



All I have left to wait on is the 1000cc injectors, and then the conversion will start. I am hoping to have most of this stuff in by the end of the week.

I just hope the motor holds with the new setup homey If I get some solid runs in with the E85 and the car likes the corn, I may install the bottle too. It is only a 50 shot, but hits extremely hard.

Just as an example, a friend of mine put a 75 shot, exact same kit as mine, just bigger jets. Well, this was on a twin screw cobra making 660rwhp, the 75 shot put him at 772rwhp. So the 75 shot gave him 112rwhp.

If you do the math, assuming I have a similar gain, that would be 75rwhp on the E55 on top of the corn. With monster fueling, E85 at that, I dont think anyone knows the limits of the stock bottom end. Most that have blown their motors was due to inadequate fueling or bad tuning. I just dont know what the bottom end can hold on these things

What size jets are you going to use? Just curious if your using it more for cooling or cooling and a decent hp gain too. Supercharged cars LOVE the spray.

Will do homey.

Initially that was going into the motor, but with the E85 conversion, it might be aimed somewhere else

I am jetted for a 50 hit, but this kit hits 50% harder, so you are looking at 75rwhp. Kit is all stainless and cost $495 out the door if anyone is interested. A local guy puts it together and is one of the hardest hitting wet kits out there for the money. I also bought a bottle blanket which was $112..........

Just as a comparison, a buddy of mine made 112rwhp with the 75 jetted shot, this was on a twin screw terminator cobra.

As I said in the PM- I like it, but would like it even more at night. Especially if those LEDs match your DRLs and headlights.

Good eye brotha

Yes, I am going to have a window mount, right above the center speaker on the dash.

That way I dont have to look down at all, and I can remove it if I have any passengers.

I tried to capture pics at night, but the lights are WAY to bright, and just cause a blur through the camera

What is nice, is that I can run either the strip lights or fogs or both. When the strip lights are turned off, you cannot even see them, as they are tucked under the lip of the bumper to the fog lights.
