We did go with larger injectors on the build. As far as the looped fuel rail, I havent seen any hard evidence yet that it really helps that much. I could be wrong but some guys are already in the 10's without it.

fwiw i tested a looped rail setup on my 32. with the oem setup the fuel hits the wall and pressure builds back. with the loop the pressure was lower showing that the pressure shown on a gage would be across all the injectors when in fact it isnt. i dropped 5 psi from oem to a looped setup reading from the same spot. this told me pressure builds from the front of the engine back to the rear injectors and the lower pressure reading was what was really being used
i saw your car at ips during timmayfest. they are doing some first class work!

with the amount of work you have invested in this build why not consider e85 for fueling? runs cooler has the same effect as race fuel at a lower cost and allows for huge boost!

As far as E85 goes, not super available in my area and dont want the hassle. My main goal for this car is to make it the fastest I can and still keep it DD reliable. I plan on keeping full interior and everything.

Our ECU's are not designed for it and E85 has tons of quality issues. When they say "E85", they really mean E70 to E85. Running E85 in our cars is really playing with fire.

Some new pics.... Things are coming back together nicely. Should be ready to start it up by the end of the week. IPS is doing a great job. Everything is turning out nice.

Thanks guys! I think it will sound great too. Hopefully have a video of idle by next week:-) Not shooting for 9's yet. Just want to get this base kit running and tested. After that is done it will be time to go crazy with it. Rain wont be a problem. There will be a skid plade protecting the turbos.

I seriously doubt that. Why would you handicap yourself building a heavy platform with a difficult engine control system if you were just going to make it obnoxiously loud and wreak of CO and HC like a race car?

Thank you Chris! Yes the car will have an exhasut system. It wont have any cats or resenators. But will have mufflers!
