The car made 370hp & 400tq on 4 psi & 25 deg, on the old fuel system 255 intank pump fuel, old junk ecu, through the t5 & 10 bolt before the 255 gave up.. So im hoping for the best, its seems to love the E85.

 

Keeping an eye on this thread since its a 3rd gen !!

 

Looks good. I like the turbo position and downpipe. Did you do your own fab work?

Any pics or more info on the sumped tank?

 

A buddy of mine did all the fab work on the exhaust, 1.75 primaries, 2.5 crossover, 4" dp. The sump is a competition engineering sump w/ 1/2 npt, that I had a guy weld on. It seems to work pretty good so far. I'll try an get some pics of the sump.

 

some crappy cell shots of the pump and sump.

Thanks. I was considering two intank 255s or a pair of the new aeromotive 340s, but sumping the stock tank seems like a good way to allow easy upgrades (for instance if I decide to convert to E85). My main concern would be noise, I currently have a booster pump on my IROC that is very annoying. I want to enjoy driving the car, exhaust note and turbo sounds are accepted (prefered ), fuel pump whine is not.

 

Looking good !! I'm sure it will run good once you tune it.

If you go e85 I don't think I would do the intank pumps. If you had pump/filter issues, it would be a pain to pull the tank all the time. My pump is mounted metal to metal, I'm sure if I placed some rubber in between, it would quiet it down.

 

LITTLE UPDATE.. Hooked up the 2-step through the gen 7, pretty simple!! Set it at 3600, gave it a couple lil test passes n let her rip. BOOM BANG BANG BOOM BOOOOOM!! think I woke up the neighbors!! Whoops!

 

Video !!! Hurry, I want to see.

 

Busy weekend, but was able to get some wiring done. Got some buttons installed in the steering wheel, for the 2-step and line lock. Installed some gauges, nothing major. Was able to make one little test pass on the street, grabbed the brake and 2-step, went up in smoke for about 400ft. think I'm gonna buy Somme new radials soon!! I will try and get a vid up this week!!

 

Got a little rear suspension work done this weekend, the LCARB's sat at a funny angle , they sat back away from the rear, it just didn't seem right. So I adjusted my LCA's so that my LCARB's sit at a 90 to the ground. Looks a ton better!! both of my LCA's were siezed up, had to use a ton of wd40 & elbow grease to break em loose. And was only able to loosen 3-4 sides. The 4th is shot, even hit it with a torch so now ima build some new solid LCA's with heim's.. 1 step forward & 3 back, isn't that how it always works!!

 

Got some small updates, got the lcarb's welded in, both kirkeys are mounted, harnesses are ordered, and I gotta guy lined up to do the cage in chromoly in about two weeks.

 

i need pics of rear end like shock location and lower control arms and how does your torque arm bolt to your rear end. I got a buddy with a 4th gen we put a big block in and it breaks or bends something every time it hooks. rear end always seems to move around any time we back up in the parking spot or when the car is in a bind. I tried to get him to buy a mustang but he a camaro guy hardcore so he just keep throwing money at it till it works I guess

 

The LCA's are supposed to sit downwards a little so when you launch they are level.

 

Ok will do, the 9" is the best money I've ever spent. No worries now! Those crappy 10 bolt explode all the time.

 

Removed carpet ready for the cage!!
