Well it looks like we have run into some major complications..... It appears the AAM Stage 2 fuel system is more then just crap, it can not support a sustained WOT on my engine... As to AAM's claims of supporting 800whp... that is just BS... I can't even run 550 * WOT for more then 12 seconds before it starts to lean out from not enough fuel from the pumps.

Even at the lowest wastgate pressure I max out the pumps after about 12 seconds of WOT... this makes it go lean and then ...... BOOM if I were to keep it up.

I honestly don't know what I am going to do right now. After all of this to discover the extremely expensive fuel system I bought is not capable of supplying the engine with enough fuel at low boost.... I am just beside myself.

As to where this leaves me for the AKA Rally and the Salt Flat run... I am not sure. I will decide Saturday after some more discussions with Sharif.

Not very happy with this entire situation. Ill reserve judgement until after we see what happens at the salt flats, but much named shop bashing will ensue if it doesn't perform as expected.

EEEERRRRRRRRRR! No comment.

Just make it up here man and drive safe. No need for the top speed run, just get up here and head out on the rally and have a friggin BLAST with us. It'll be a little breather from the stress and BS.

+1... APS fuel sys. isn't even close to doing the job. It's not bad for burst runs at about the 700whp level, but it wouldn't do the job of sustaining a run like this.

Yup, if there was only more time, a bosch/cell combo would be the best, or a dual bosch/cell. Pretty sure thats going to be the only way to really every get enough to test the limits of this engine.

edit: how the hell you been Ryan? Hows the build coming? Heard about the turbo snafu, let me know if I can do anything to help out bro.
