What fuel pump are you running?

Aeromotive Eliminator built in to the cell.

This thing is moving. Is this the fastest V1 now? It is the fastest I've seen so far.

There's some random guy in Canada with a 408 stroker, Procharger, 4L80E, and nitrous (I think) running faster...but with the auto swap, it's less of a V1 than RJ's . Plus, RJ is all boost, which is cool.

all boost ontop of a 427 though

What a good buy when he purchased this car...

You've hit it. That's what has to happen in order to be the fastest "V1."

Big motor and a power adder... Every other platform does it (if not 2 power adders) and you never hear anyone say it's "not a xyz anymore"... Not sure why that's the mentality for the V1s. It's still very much a V1 in my opinion, I just think people are afraid to attempt to really mod one to go fast, especially strait. Most guys are afraid of the suspension and I don't blame em. Other than an upgraded rear (still IRS with stock subframe), engine/blower and now trans(stock one gave up at 120k miles finally) there isn't really any voodoo magic about it.

The fuel cell was a shortcut at the time and I wish I would have retained the factory configuration. Live and learn I guess. Fact is, if you spend enough time and thought you can make it happen, and V1s are getting cheap now. Ive made a lot of mistakes doing it because there was no recipe to follow at all what so ever. This is far from the end of what you'll see it do with 6spd trans and IRS too, I've just started to figure it all out. More seat time and tweaks should only help!!!

I'd like to point out that mine is FAR from the first V1 to make high-ish HP. There have been several V1s in the past making north of 800whp in a number of different configurations. They all ran in the mid 11s though. Ultimately the setup that hooks is very simple, It just took some trial and error to find what works...again, not many people are willing to keep changing things in search of making one of these launch hard.

I think it would be pretty cool if someone did an LS3 swap with ported LSA blower (and all the other goodies), full 17" Weld drag pack, CS 8.8, and a double pump setup like Jaysen/philistine. Basically turn a V1 into a V2 and see how many feelings can be hurt, haha.

You'd have 10x more custom work to do than a solid LS2 and TVS2300 blower that would probably be faster. Does the 2300 fit under the aftermarket hoods?

I don't know about 10x the custom work...B-Ruck's friend already did the mock up, and the ABS module has to be moved, as well as cutting a fuggin big hole like you did. But yes, a TVS2300 would be a great alternative and based on Tommy Compton's thread, it fits under the stock hood. I just like spending other people's money.

gtistile

I saw that originally damn near a year ago. If it wasn't tough I think it'd be done by now especially knowing those guys. I'd do the 2300 and not modify ****! Guys are making huge power with em on mustangs here locally

A lot more people would be running the E-Force if it was a 100% bolt-on kit. Right now people have to reference the cheat sheet that Tommy made and some small mods are required, I think...
