holy crap thats a nice weight! I can only hope to be around the same.
ive wondered if those edelbrock rails are a big enough...9/16" i.d. doesnt seem like it would support a lot. Especially when there is a larger feed line going to the rails. Ive also wondered if routing them in series or parallel makes a difference. (mine is parallel)

I never asked him about the timing man. My tuner was in tune mod, so i kept quit and let him work his magic, then forgot afterwards. Hottest the IAT got to was 167*.
HAHA, well have to wait until next season to see. I am going to redo the whole fuel system and get it retuned sometime this winter on more boost. Myself and by buddy ReggieWarrenJr are going to US41 drag strip this friday night for some test runs, in my case shack down passes. Supposed to get to a low of like 50* so hopefully the DA is the ****!! I will post vids

I have no idea man. I think im just gonna start at 7 psi, and get used to the launching. I wont be able to go past about 14 or so to be safe on the fuel pressure. I will be happy with just a 9 seeing how ive dipped this car in the 12,11,10, for the past three years taking off about a second each time. So i want to keep that going.

Dyno day was today. Got here all tuned out and running good. Car was on a 12% mustang dyno and had a little problems with tire spin, but after lowering the pressure to 15 psi, and 4 guys pushing on the back, it was better.....until we turned it up. here are 2 vids.
This on 7 PSI

This on 14 PSI

PROBLEMS
-in the second vid the fuel pressure went from 65 psi at WOT to 40 psi which is why it only got to 5700RPM. Im running -8 feed lines, think they are too small??????
-Spun tires on the dyno bad. Any know fixes to this problem?
-There are more, i will think of them and post tomorrow.
Overall i am super happy with it. Took it on a drive tonight and Holy mother F!!!!! I thought drugs and hookers were addictive!!!

I have a -12 pickup feeding my weldon 2345. then -8 feeding into a y that feeds each fuel rail and then the return is the stock lines. 160lbs injectors on e 85. I was at 825 whp on a superflow uncorrected (7000+da) at 17lbs and had it up to 19.3 lbs yesterday with no issues. But thats a big pump so maybe thats why I have no issues... yet. Ill tell ya this get rid of any 90 degree fittings or t's and that will help a lot.

on the -8 stay as straight as possible i haven't rid myself of all the 90s off the old low power setup but every-time i get a chance to its clear the pump is not working as hard. its hard to get around it on the twelve cause any other fitting takes up so much room. the returns are 90 to a t but on the pressure side of the regulator so it dont matter. the rails are standard eldebrock rails that come with the victor intake.
