For the record---->396whp uncorrected at AAM in winter 2nd pass ever was 11.98 @ 114mph, later backed it in 95 degree heat with 11.99 @ 115, 11.99 @ 116mph with a "weak" 1.76-1.84 60ft.

Numbers above were 38Xwhp SAE corrected best trap of 116mph in summer.

I launched conservative as I did not have a shop backing me with my racing, car had more in it.

 

i know you said that.. i made that perfectly clear


that i know of has been to the track .. as far as i know.. Jet's car was never running..

 

while i agree in principle with what you say.... with out being so radical as saying @ 6000rpms i could also argue with you with this dyno sheet... not the smooth all the way power of twis but this car is way way way faster on the drag with a power curve like this vs other cars with same similar whp #s

 

it still is.

 

is that a supra? looks like a supra

 

Sure it was, with a perfectly good turbo at that. He put down 450+whp at Forged Performance.

 

I would have liked to see Jets car on a DJ, Id imagine close to 500whp on that thing.

 

AJs car ran that 11.5 with 10 pounds of boost, it made around 400 sae hp with that so its about the same as albertos for the most part, if alberto would have had a few more runs i am sure he would have bettered his times. especially if he took some lessons in launching from the pros


that was on 10 pounds of boost, we are now running 11 to 12 on his car all day, it will boost higher in 5th gear closer to 2 more psi but i told him not to floor it in 5th and just keep it in 1st through 4th for safety reasons.


we are going to the track this friday on race gas and see what we can get it to do. should be fun!!

 

^^What tires is he running Jeremy?

 

A.J will be on slicks...

 

The argument/s of a fuel return system vs. one, which is deadheaded, has been interesting but there is no consensus. From my understanding a return system provides one clear advantage, which is that it helps keep air bubbles out of the rail. Bubbles are created by turbulence around fittings and heat. If enough are present in the rail vapor lock may be the outcome. If less their effect is only to alter the A/F. As heat, pressure and flow volume increase so does the potential for their creation. There is no hard and fast rule that I know of as to when a return system should be employed except that they are considered to be the best system available for DFI.
The other argument often expressed is that a re-circulating system provides a more constant fuel pressure at the individual injectors. This, while possible in theory, may only account for pressure differences too small to measure with commercial gauges. Fuel entering a rail at X pressure supplies multiple injectors so it reasonable to expect that some pressure drop however small will occur at the last injector but I believe that would be the case regardless if the rail was dead heated or open for return to the tank IMO.

 

yeap....

 

No bragging here slick. I didn't say I had all that crap taken care of, I just listed them as responsibilities.

I just see you talking about how much money you've spent on your car, post after post, and it gets old. Would I love to have your car? Absolutely. But I've got other responsibilities that will likely prevent me from ever going forced induction.

I know you don't care about anything I say, but I've got a recommendation. Spend less time talking about your money and ******* others for not doing it your way, and spend more time talking up your car. Your car is good enough that you don't need to hold it up with your money as a prop.

 

beh...


all you guys would get smoked by a RSX..

 

+1 QFT


Jeremy, I'll see ya soon

 

What ever dude. Saying I can afford to do chit right from the get go is not bragging about how much money I've spent on my car. Also I never bragged about how much money I have. As well as I never posted a dollar amount in this thread about how much I've spent on my car other than saying I can afford a $1000 RFS and the times I have posted that info in the past is because someone asked.

I didn't say anywhere that those things were taken car of either only that I have them too. You're not the only one with responsibilities. You think you are special?

 

So I just fininished reading the whole thread. Lots of great information in the first half, a bunch of useless posts in the second half

Regarding the subject, STOCK BLOCKS running moderate to low hp (~350~410whp)... I actually seem to agree with most of the vendors here.

I agree with Jeremy on not *needing* a RFS on a stock block with, lets say 400 whp.

(On a built block, or even a stock block, running high hp (more than 430whp), I agree with Jeremy, Shariff, Sam, etc. I would definately run a RFS on such a built high hp engine . It just seems as if many were taking Jeremy's words out of context. This isn't the main topic anyhow)

It sucks because many seem to be disregarding the main reason for this thread: Performance Factory trying to save money for customers running stock blocks with low to moderate hp.

As for me, in the future , I plan on doing the Vortech Tuner Kit (revup), UTEC, DW 550c Walbro 255 fuel pump, on stock block running about low 400whp. I think as long as the tune is fine, I will be on the *safe* side (not that FI is safe to begin with).

(If I end up having the cash at the time of installation, I will do the RFS at once since I plan on going with a built engine with higher HP... in the far away future, atleast a year after running on the stock block. )

Eh, well I still have a while left until I face the issues regarding FI

Can't wait!
