The Holley covers have no restrictor holes ..........Tubing I.D. straight thru.....

So have you decided what it's going to be???? Oh, and if you could make my winter short too, that would be great!

 

I will be starting a new thread on the Nomad later today..........LOL.......LSA

 

Can you use that controller on a standard Walboro 255lph in tank pump? I like the idea of pwm fuel control but don't want to drop 2k on a new tnk.

 

Call Carl Cassanova at Vaporworx. Super knowledgeable and a good guy.

I think you need a system that has some sort of pressure relief. The stock pump modules have this which is why they work well. Carl can tell you for sure or if there is a work around.

 

Update...........The refining process continues......(Does it ever end).........After installing the Supercharger and Hydro-Boost, everything got a lot better.......But.....Fitting everything together with parts in place at that time left a little room for fine tuning.........the car was perfectly fine, but a couple of little issues.......#1.....using the existing down flow radiator with the Supercharger caused a issue........to clear the new drive system, I had to run the upper hose up and over the system and the hose ended up slightly above the radiator tank leaving it with a large air pocket........it ran and cooled fine, but it wasn't a recommended way to do things........I decided to get a cross flow Radiator with both fittings on the passenger side of the car to correct that issue........After seeing the quality of the Auto Rad set-up for the Nomad, I decided to buy one from them........I made the right decision ..................Quality, Quality, and Quality........
Second Issue........After installing the Hydro Boost........I had a little minor issue of while turning, I would get a little intermittent loss of power assist.......I did some research and was told there was a slight amount of air in the system........I noticed that in the reservoir there was some turbulence from the return line in the tank with possible aeration..........I checked online and found that Concept One had a tank they specifically built for these applications that controlled the flow and softened the flow entering the tank to eliminate this problem......So.....
I took the car to Frame-Up Wheelworks and they went thru and installed everything as well as neatened up my mess of wires around the battery........after getting the car back all I can say is....getting everything close and working is O.K..........But......Putting the Bow on the Package and Fine tuning everything makes driving the car nothing but sheer enjoyment......Damm!!.......This Beater is Fun !!!

 

Looking good. I saw ASSC's post on Facebook, what kind of power did it put down?

I hear you on the fine tuning. Shows like Overhauling make it seem like you can just bolt a bunch of expensive parts together and the car will drive and handle great. That's just not the case in the real world.

 

ALEX.........Made 470 RWHP and 500 lbs torque...........A mere Puppy compared to yours.........LOL.......It's a dead stock LS2.......

 

Those are great numbers for something that is dead reliable. Plus I know what that neck snapping torque feels like, great for the street. Mine rolls in like a wave, OK maybe like a tsunami but not like a positive displacement blower.

 

I like the rad bracket. Did you make that?

 

No.....Frame-up Wheelworks in Beach Park did the fab and install........Great Quality shop to deal with....There are two of the rubber cushions built into the lower portion also.......

So..........The refining process continues.......But.....We are getting very close........When I did the car originally, I didn't know how to deal with the LS "Rappy" exhaust sound.........after getting the exhaust on the Impala during the initial build.........I had to go thru 3 sets of Mufflers to get the sound to go away and to quiet it down..........Ended up putting Cadillac Mufflers on it (Choke ,Choke).......since then I've learned that LS engines don't like long exhaust pipes (these go all the way back to the rear Bumper)..........and a "X" pipe helps kill the "Rappy" sound also.......

So....After finishing Gary's 65 and getting the exhaust completed with DynoMax Super Turbo Mufflers, an "X" pipe and tail pipes that exit behind the rear tires........His car sounded perfect........So.....I decided with last Winters mods to the Impala I needed to free up the Exhaust system.........It's going to the Exhaust shop on Monday for this "Correction" ....LOL.....I also bought a set of Headers off eBay that are supposed to fit........We will see........

 

Are those stainless? How much were they? My Dynatech headers not only hang low on mine, but the ceramic coating is basically gone on one of them.

I had the exhaust dumping out just after the rear tires (headers, X pipe, and Magnaflow XL mufflers) but the drone was HORRIBLE. At certain RPMs it would drown out the radio and good luck trying to talk to anyone in the passenger seat. My solution (that I am still working on) is to extend the exhaust to the bumper, and I am also adding 2 Vibrant 1792 resonators right before the tips to lower the volume a bit and help with the rasp. I will report back on how it works out.

 

Believe it or not.........The Headers are polished Stainless and were $173 delivered........with collectors, Gaskets, and Bolts.....The DynoMax Super Turbo Mufflers are very Quiet and free flowing......

 

Here's Gary's car running with the 480 HP LS3 Transplant

Ken,
What size are the primaries? Flange thickness?

 

1 5/8" tubes........3/8" flange thickness.............Not ideal , but better than the cast iron manifolds........Hope they fit .....

 

This WORKS to remove drone

Done on a turbo Porsche for me. No muffling and I can have a normal conversation inside at cruise vs a screaming migraine before. No mufflers on this car either

 

Thanks Ken. Which tank is your overflow radiator overflow? Any better pics of it and volume?

 

Headers fit perfectly..........I'll post pictures later.....
