Need's a lot of fuel! I think we are around 60% duty cycle now, but we haven't ran over 22psi I think..

I don't think Nick has done a build thread in quite some time.
Thanks for sharing trying to decide on what to run for my set-up 427 + twin 78mm on alcohol.

I too will be running the Holley EFI + Enderle 990 just not sure if i should run dual set of 2150cc or 1 set of B.A. 325+

Makes it that much more impressive that a local guy is only a tenth behind this, running e85 from the local supermarket. Ran out of wastegate adjustability at the track but gunning for 7's in a week or 2 on 24psi

Only reason we did 2 sets was budget, he found 16 160's for 1/4 of the cost of a set of BA's..
Some say the Bosch style like we have has poor idle quality, not that it matters for us.

I hear ya man wish i had the funds like some of the builds i see here that's why i like seeing threads like yours about getting the most out of what you got!

I can get 2 sets of FIC 2150's for the price of 1 set of 235# BA's

Was guna ask about your intake set-up but from the pic it looks like a single plane w/ an elbow....i'm running a Hi-Ram.

Hope you don't mind all the questions but how's your return line/size set-up on your fuel cell (dip tube?)

**** the racetronix 160's are stainless and are only $550 shipped. They idle badass! 160's are a great injector IMO

Thanks Martin!

Well guys she SBE motor finally gave up the ghost last time out. We will be putting a good motor back together again. Not sure what the build will consist of yet, we are awaiting some information on a new set of cylinder heads.
We will be running a SOLID 4 bolt casting. Cast solid, not a dry decked head. We are working closely with the cylinder head company and Advanced Inductions on the port program. Looking for big things in 2016!

#1 rod had hit it's last cycle, tune up was still safe. Plugs were looking perfect. We were shifting that engine about 7,500, and I think it was 7,500 one too many times.
Engine had over 50 runs on it this year, so we weren't too upset. We knew it would happen sooner or later.
