Thanks man. It is frustrating but sticking with it and new issues pop up but I guess it's to be expected at these power levels. Hope to get a 8 second pass soon!

Im not sure i will ask the chassis guy where he set it up but its getting more and more dialed each pass. Soon as i get the fueling issue fixed its back to the suspension.

Been battling some issues one is lack of fuel so decided to change to triple in tank pumps one aeromotive stealth 340 and twin 255s this should be more than enough for what I need.

One suggestion - get rid of those clamps and use actual fuel injection style clamps. They are much better and won't compromise the exterior of the hose.

So took the car out with the 3 pumps and afrs were exactly the same so i was really frustrated to say the least. Only thing i changed from last to this year was the fuel filter. Had a little summit one on there and went to a fuel lab filter. I decided well the only thing that was changed was the filter so bought a magnafuel one and instantly when i hit boost it went to 9.99 on the wb i was very happy to see that and also irritated. So adding 3 pumps was a waste of time because when i ran it at the track saturday i unhooked one of them to free up a little juice and it ran great. So was tuning the meth yesterday and should be ready to make a full pass later this week. On a "lighter" note weighed the car Saturday and it checked in at 3740! Was really surprised at the weight since the following have been removed. Door bar (passenger side only) front and rear crash bars tubular k member up front no ac not to mention the VFN hood. Still has full interior electric windows so i would like to shed at least 150 from the car somehow just really would like to keep the interior and radio. So open for suggestions on how to take a chunk out. Thinking rear window might be a cheaper option to start

I'm surprised you still weigh that much. I was 3420 race weight, that's with stock hood, k-member and a-arms. Have you removed all of the hvac stuff behind the dash?

ya me too maybe the scales were off? Last year was 3670 with a stock ss hood. So i was pretty surprised. This time around i did have a full tank of gas but that still doesn't explain the extra 100+........Yes hvac removed. I def would like to pull some weight out of this car without spending thousands of dollars. 3420 would be amazing. I just need to suck it up and ditch the radio electric windows etc....

Did you weigh it at the Valley Doug? If so I heard before you pull on the scales you should walk up and zero out the weight. Sometimes people mess with it and you get a false reading.

Just a thought.
