Looks great guys and coming along quickly too after the long weekend on it. Rob are you sure you dont want to take that K member out and trade me for mine, I know how you were admiring it a couple of weeks ago

Nate we need to talk I would like to get the fuel pumps done asap if possible. Shoot me a text on when you think you would have time, if at all. I know your busy with several builds going on at once. Can you spare one day Rob?

Rob,
I was going to run a Lonnies double pump just so it is done for future mods if the need for more fuel is required. How much hp will that racetronix kit support, I would think at the 8lbs I plan on running I would be pushing it a bit hard???

When I first put my D1 on at 8lbs I had a racetronics kit and was running out of fuel at 477 rwhp

Thats a nice steamport set up you have, is that a custom set up you and nate did? I was thinking about getting the Kurt Urban set up eventually.

Rodney, it is something we came up with, our friend Joe just ordered up a few fittings and together we came up with that. Much cheaper then the kurt urban complete set up. We did use the Kurt urban steam port blocks that he sells seperately though.
