Just picked it up today:




I also grabbed a set of 15" wheels and LG spindles

 

Few updates:

Picked up some new injectors, 127s were pretty much maxed at 70psi max fuel pressure



I'm going to replace my oem z06 oil cooler with a fog light mounted cooler to make space for the larger intercooler and avoid impacting ac/radiator efficiency


I also got a larger fuel pressure regulator since my small aeromotive was becoming a restriction. I had 4 spare holley -08an o-ring to -06an male fittings from my fuel rails I didn't use since I used -08 stuff on the rails. It'll match my existing lines and I'll see if it flows ok with the -6 & 3/8 combo returning fuel from the driver rail to the tank.



Got boost? Lol


in with the new



Old F-1A



vs

New F-1A-94



Modified the intercooler mount points on the cradle to shift it rearward. I removed my z06 oil cooler and will relocate an aftermarket cooler behind the fog light.

 

My warranty replacement aeroforce fuel pressure sender isn't working, so I need to sort that out so I can verify the magnafuel setup is making correct pressure. Base pressure on a manual gauge looks good tho, so it's back up and running.




just need to install my spindles and 15s and hit the dyno next weekend

 

Looks sick. Is there a difference in size between the 2 f1a's

 

They're the same external dimensions, but the inlet opening is 4" vs 3.75"

 

Huh, go figure, just got my replacement last week too, and still doesn't work.

 

Interesting... did you have a brass colored sensor before? And did they send you a silver colored replacement? Do you have red, white and green wires?

 

No brass sensor, my original sensor was a 3/8" sensor that went out, so I ordered a new one, which was 1/4" that was wired different (the three wires Red, Black, White where in different locations from the original).

It didn't work due to the wire set up so I sent it back and they assured me it was ok, and they sent back a new cable as well as new instructions. The instructions call out a blue wire. None of the cables they have sent ever had a blue wire.

I swapped the wires around and still doesn't work

 

Just sent mine back, hopefully it was just a sensor issue and they'll be able to get a new one out to me that'll work

 

Should get this installed this weekend

 

COPY CAT!!! LOL! Just kidding your going to love them Jeff

 

I'll be starting my F2 454 this weekend....I'll post a video for ya.

 

How much was that lift? How high can it go? And also would you happen to know how thick the floor needs to be to bolt it down safely?

Last but not least, nice build haha.

 

~$2k, maxjax. It can go just high enough to sit on a regular stool and not hit your head. 3-4" thickness is recommended.

 

Just hit the dyno:

 

What kind of power did you make before?

 

This is with a 6 speed on E85 right? How many psi?

 

Best of 937whp on old motor/cam/blower

Best of 878whp with new motor/cam and old blower

Best of 1026whp with new motor/cam/blower

 

6spd, E70 winter blend, ~22psi

 

I didn't have access to the dyno files, but I was curious how the old combo from last year compared to this new combo... particularly in the ~3,500rpm range since that's where a 60mph roll starts for me in 3rd gear. It looks like I'll need to either pulley down (90k rpm!?!), swap back to the CCP stage 2, try 2nd gear starts w/ the Z51 trans and 15's, or upgrade my trans and do ZR1 ratios for a 2nd gear start from a less severe rpm.
