You'll want about 150# worth of injector @ 43.5 psi to max out the turbo. You can either do a high imp or a low imp with an injector driver. I'm running a 120# low imp injector now but I haven't had it up to full power yet and I think it's not going to make it or be damn close. And just to get there, I'm going to have to turn the base pressure up to about 65 psi (from the 43 that I am currently running). When I ran the 8.9's @ 153, I was running a Bosch 160# low imp injector @ 43 psi but those things were the biggest pieces of **** ever. I couldn't get them to idle higher than 12.5-13:1 AFR.

Thanks

Finally got a chance to do some testing on the new setup.

Anybody that has been following along knows that since putting in the Holley Dominator ECU and the Powerglide, I haven't had an opportunity to do any actual testing at the track due to other issues. The other new development being that I am beta testing the new Holley boost control and took out the AMS 500.

I only got 2 passes in and I blew the tires off in the second one as I had a weak burn out and got a little too aggressive on the launch for the track.



This was on 13-14 psi. I'm good with it.

Just got invited to a track rental on Nov 20th so I'll likely see what she has in her then.

Congrats! Glad to see you've got most of your issues worked out. By the way Carlos hit 147 on his second pass even though he blew off his tires.

Apparently while I thought I was doing a burn out, I was just riding the converter. You'd think one of the 3 people I had standing in the lane would have said something.

Also turned up the controller a little more, hence the additional MPH. You were in the lane next to me on that one, weren't you? I heard you ran 130 on muscle. Nice!

Yeah, that was me. The guy in front wanted to race someone else so he let me go by. Once you got traction, you flew by me.

They don't close

Year round racing for us. The NHRA top fuelers were here for a private test session a few weeks back before the season started. Its a fair trade off for rainy summers

My build is done this way with the turbo sitting where the battery was. Doesn't seem to be causing any issues. I will post some pics in a bit if you would like to see a build done this way.

We had a track rental a few weeks back but I ran into a fuel pressure problem after the first pass. I was running the MagnaFuel 4301 (rated 1500hp) pump as was pretty sure that it was the problem as we have had a few fail. This one has already been rebuilt once. I went ahead and bought one of the new Holley Billet Dominator 2000 hp pumps. Took it out for a little beat run yesterday and logs indicate that I am still having the same problem. I'm pretty sure that it's the BRFPR. Seems to be losing the reference after it peaks. It's an old Aeromotive that is not recommended for the power that I am making so I will be replacing it in the next week or 2 with a Holley. Holley is giving us great pricing direct as a courtesy for beta testing the Holley EFI boost control and the feed back that we have provided for the EFI in general on the LS platform.

I also discovered a bad ignition switch that seems to be causing electrical gremlins. I guess at 14 yrs old, she's no spring chicken.

Any word on the boost control? ETA? I sold my Greddy hoping the holley would be ready by spring.

How many pounds of boost were you launching at with the powerglide to get that 1.35 60ft?

Just read this build from the first to the last page and have been truly inspired and actually got the race bug back! Currently on the hunt for a chassis and a LQ9!

It's right around the corner from what I have been told. It's working great for me so far but we asked for a few changes to make it better. Everytime they change something, they have to change the software and the firmware which as I have it understood, the firmware guys are pretty backed up. That's about all that I know as I just get small info leaks.

I want to say 6-7 psi.

Great first post! Hope that I can help you spend thousands of dollars. LOL

Yeah the old lady is already pissed hahaha! I do have one question though. Earlier you were talking about hybridizing your turbo because you wished yours was slightly larger. If you were to pick up a shelf turbo which one would get? I ran the numbers and compared a t88 map to a t91 and they seem prettty similar. What do you think about a pt8847? What did you have in mind?

Hey Los, any updates?

This car is so sick love it!!! Building my lq4 s480 I hope I can do half as well launching as you are

Nothing new. The car has been parked for a while. This time of year is just sooooo hot down here. I'm also having an intermittent electrical problem that I haven't had the patience to chase down which basically is cutting the power in the car for a split second at a time. Basically just enough to screw up a pass as it usually happens on the launch. Happens so fast that you can't even feel it while normal driving. It's a true gremlin.
