Red face Pictures of new modifications.

Starting with the fuel system. I went with the *Aeromotive 1000Hp pump
*Aeromotive Fuel Filter
*Lots of Earls fittings
*Earls braided hose -10 Feed Line up to the rails
*Earls braided hose -8 Return line
*NHRA cert. shatter shied tube under the rear axle.
*NHRA cert. transmission shatter shield up through firewall
*Aeromotive regulator


Polished everything



No abs



Cut the elbow on top of the waterpump off and polished it.

Deleted alot of the coolant lines and tapped the holes.


Capped off the brake boost lines from the uim, ran it from the underside of the ium instead to help clean things up.

It's hard to see but the -10 feed line comes up into a earls t-block then get distributed to the rails.



I did alot of small little things like deleting and etc etc etc that I'm sure I'm forgeting but ohwell.

looks to me as if you are still using the stock injector rail. haev a reason behind using a -10 line to feed the stock rails? seems like a waste of money to me....

The stock rails supply enough flow for what I need. I will eventually upgrade my rail setup but that won't be because of it not being able to flow enough. It will be because I will need something to hold more than 2 injectors per rail. I'm not sure I'll even do that, I might just do a mechanical system.

They both feed down in back of the alternator, over the lowe section of the oil filler neck,under the greddy elbow then into the Y-block, then through the tranni shatter tube, then to the axle shatter tube,then to the filter, then to the pump, then to the tank

i am just saying that -10 is a little excessive if you dont know the route you are going to take. and the stock rails become a restriction to that massive line. extra money was spend on fittings and line...
sure the stock rails *will* flow enough for you, but then so would have a -8 feed. i know when getting into angels on those fittings, the additional price of larger fittings can add up REAL fast.

KAI spools very nice. Not sure on the power yet. My goal is 750rwhp with or without this turbo and a little shot of methanol.

Yes, tell me about the price. It got very expensive real fast . I figured that I better spend the few extra dollars and go big now instead of having to re-do everything down the road if I decide to do something crazy

oic what you did now.... you connected it to the stock rail. you must haev tapped the rail for a flare fitting 90* also.
no offence to you eric, i was just questioning you about why it was done that way. i know tha primary rail is probobly tapped for a 1/4NPT and that is WAY smaller than the -10 line, i am sure you know what my point is.

Yep no offense. I did tap both the primary/secondary rails with 1/4. There is some restriction there you're right but like I said. It will be enough flow for now
