Home built D1-SC part 2:fuel & grill (pics)
Well I finished up the fuel system the other day. Everything seems to be working but havn't driven it yet and won't untill I get it tuned. The system should be good for 900rwhp. It's a dual inline walbro 255 set-up with a regulator and return line(just used the stock vapor line). The second pump is wired to a hobbs switch so it doesn't kick on until I get into boost. Here are a few pics.

And then the grill. I really liked my mirror bird in the front so I decided to make a grill with a stainless bird on it. I still wanted to be able to take it out at the track for more air flow but I wanted better looks for street driving and still have some air flow. This is what I came up with.

I'm getting tuned on the 17th. 9psi pully and it's an 8 rib. Stock block for now, hopefully the tune is good and it lasts at least the summer. I think it should, I have plenty of fuel, front mount intercooler and a lower compresion from the lq4 heads so it should be ok. I know I'm pushing the limits of the stock block though. Car made 408 before the procharger so I'm looking for around 600rwhp.
As for the grill, it's not that plastic mesh stuff, it's actually metal grill thats very reflective. It's kind of hard to tell from the pics but I like how it looks much better than wide open or using screen or plastic mesh.

I am a big fan of the mesh. That's exactly what I would like to do when I get my Procharger and FMIC (from Bob). I'm thinking about keeping the fog lights, though. That's a very, very clean setup. You absolutely get props for it!

Thanks guys. I put the fmic kit together with parts off ebay. I have the fogs mounted too now. Unfortunatly they are not functional, not enough room. I just velcroed them on so they can be removed for the track. I got that idea from someone else on here, worked pretty good.

Nice and clean. You really think 900rwhp?
I like the mesh. Every think of painting the parts of the IC that show through the foglight holes black? The overall efect might be even more balanced.
