holy crap! I knew about the twin 78 build but I didn't know it was going on a big motor like that. You've went past lightspeed to ludicrous speed! Both Jeremy's and Steve's builds are going to be insane. You're stirring the FI world up Josh. Hope your ready to burn the candle at both ends Josh. You're gonna be so damn busy they'll have to pump daylight to ya! Good stuff guys. I'm excited. I know Jeremy is excited. I haven't heard from Steve but he's probably excited! Good luck on the build guys.

Yes, we install V-box's in the cars and then hit the strip. The V-box can tell you everything from 0-60, 60-130, how many g's you are pulling and how quickly you can stop. We use it to just read 60-130mph, just like a safe environmnet to roll race. Pretty fun when you have 1000+rwhp cars competing against one another like this.

Jeremy don't sweat the negative remarks caused by jealous individuals. It's your money. Spend however the F*&K you want, and don't look back. Can't believe I missed all this yesterday lol. As for the fuel system, I'm not a fan of the multiple intank pumps or the BAP's. Use one large external, good sumped tank/cell, good lines, regulator, and rails...Don't skimp on this part of your build as it will bite you in the ***!! The reason I don't like multiple pumps, or the BAP is that they tend to not be as reliable as the single pumps. Eliminate all variables..One pump(one possible issue) multiple pumps and BAP(multiple issues) The weldon's are great pumps as the Magnafuels. Myself, I like the Aeromotive stuff as it's a little quieter...Being a street car, run a pump controller to keep the pump running cooler. Oh and I got the keg covered...
I told him to get a big Weldon Pump sump tank 160lb injectors and injector driver to run them. But he won't listen to anything I say. All I know is that there is less stuff that could go wrong instead of running 2 intank pumps 1 inline pump and a boost a pump. That is 4 things that could go wrong and if anyone of them took a crap it could cause the motor to blow. Run 1 big pump and be done with it.
I think I said the exact same thing. Jeremy and I are very good friends but I don't think he ever listens to anything I ever have to say. He has to hear it from 15 other people first. lol

12-15k isn't out of the norm there 02ws8. There is a lot of money tied up into a big high profile twin setup. These kits (Josh's, Steven's and Speed Inc's) that we're discussing is magazine stuff, man. They're the custom, well thought out twin kits everyone drools over.

Pics up real soon Guy's. I have two Twin setups going together right now. Jeremy and Chris Have both been great to work with and the builds will be done before the Holidays, along with several other things rolling out in the same time frame.
As far as prices. You get what you pay for. I couldnt have said it better myself. I strive to make sure that my customer get more than what they pay for. It is just part of the game.

Ever watch the bike builds? On the one off builds, they build those bikes a few times to work out the bugs. I couldn't imagine doing it a few times just to get it all to fit and get it right. The time to do it once would be ridiculous I'm sure. Next: Have you priced stainless lately? It's higher than giraffe *****! If you make enough mistakes, you'll probably be amazed at how much you have wrapped up in plumbing costs alone. I have no doubt over time I could achieve such a nice system, but it would be a bunch of time. Even if you're incredibly talented, there's no substitute for experience.

Sorry OP, I don't mean hijack,
Don't get me wrong, these sponsors have TONS of experience and great knowledge, but I'm almost positive it would not take me 12-15k in plumbing and supplies. I understand this isn't a 5 minute cut and weld, but c'mon. find cheap exhaust pipping or free pipping at a junk yard and get to practicing. Once you've achieved more than the basic principle of how to weld, grab a little bit of stainless and practice on it. Or go to a friend with a welder and learn from him.
Once you've learned to cut and weld, make your own turbo system or twin system, it most certainly would not cost you 12-15k. No offense to goldrust, but I would never pay that kinda money... Maybe for a 427 motor capable of holding 1800hp, but not a turbo kit.
