That will change later this year. I have Santuff struts, front brakes and spindle mount Weld Magnums here waiting to go on.
Willwood rear brakes and Hawk DR-97 pads have been doing the job for 5 years.
Light cars are a wonderful thing !

Internal waste gate will not control the boost. Does spool pretty fast. Ran my 4200 converter to 5700 on the brake.
Going to add external waste gates. Just thought I would give an update.

Did not have much faith in the internals to begin with. But thought I would give it a shot.
Disconnected the actuators today and was still headed to 15 lbs in about 1.5 seconds.
It runs over my 80 lb injectors at 10.69 lbs. I am moving the fuel pressure to 5 bar.
I am pretty sure 38mm WG's will do the trick if I get them in at the angle I want.
Yes I run at Mason Dixon mostly.
I would have been making passes by now if the boost was under control.

I hope you get it together and get to make some passes yet this year. They run till the end of November if I remember right. They have a turkey race, if I remember correctly. Our track stops the end of October. If you're headed there PM me. If I can sneak away, I'd love to run down and check it out in person.

Well I spent 2 or 3 hours looking for my 5 bar fuel regulator.
Finally found it in a tote I had put my spare race car parts in......so I could keep them organized!

Waste gates arrived today. Plus a couple for a 6.0 turbo project I am doing for another AMC'er

Waste gates installed (lightest springs) boost looks controlled well at 4.75 lbs.
4200 converter is stalling at 5250 on the brake.
Took a little ride today and it is pretty stout. It gets under boost RIGHT NOW!
Will need a larger fuel pump but will be heading to Mason Dixon Saturday for some testing.

10.12 at 5psi, wow! That thing is definitely going to be an animal! Just finished installing a Magnafuel 4303 on my turd on Wednesday night and I have to say it's a quality piece. I can't tell you how well it can perform on an FI application though. Mine is carb'd currently but my holley took a dump and I plan on an FI set-up in a year or so. It's noisy. As in you can hear it over the exhaust outside the car. Not that it matters on your car, lol.

Got a chance to go through the data. I lifted at 8 seconds into the run. I am mostly working on 1/8 mile. I knew when I went over the pump was not up to the task.
Timing was at 20 degrees under boost and Lambda target was .830 (8.0 afr on E-85 scale)
I may add another pump but would rather just run one.
Very happy with the test.

For a single inline pump, 4303 is the way to go IMO. Run mine for years and bought it used. Street and track duty on e85... It's a brute! (though kinda loud and expensive)
Can't beat multiple 255's (GSL392) for price vs performance at $96 each shipped with fittings. Run 3 of them with a 3 way pneumatic HF fitting and you'll have a quiet 200 gph pump for about $300. I made roughly 600whp on e85 with 2.
