What fuel pump was this on? Just bought a walbro 450 and 80 lbs.
Doing a similar build goal of 600ish with E85.

ive maxed out that same 7875 turbo with 80 lb injectors on e85
-6 feed and return
twin 340 pumps

ive used 80s on 3 seperate builds and theyve all made over 700 tire on corn with room to spare

you dont need a giant fuel system for what youre wanting to do.

Yessir, 2.25 tube. I built the one for my nova and it came out very nice.

Thank you, that is the same thing I read all over. Glad to see some more input. The billet 78/75 I don't believe has been released, I'm expecting delivery late this week/next from my pre order. According to vs racing, it's shown about 18% improvement over the cast 78/75. Very excited to try it.

80# injectors on e85 will go pretty fast . my buddy's Camaro ran 9.44@ 140 mph @3550 lbs

20.3 psi boost
15 degrees timing
e85 58 psi base fuel pressure.
80# deka injectors 99% dc.
single on3 78/75 .96 turbo

sbe 5.3 triple 12 cam 706 heads , truck intake/tb.

the 78/75 and 80# injectors are a good match on e85.

Looks like 3.08 with a 26" tire will be 6100 @ 140mph. Not including converter slip. I have a set of gears already, I may just try them out. I wonder how much of a turd it would be in a foot brake car leaving on 6-7#?

I personally would like to see a different gear with the car on a 28... how much does it weigh? I bet youll have enough to get it moving off the foot brake

Just recieved an order in progress update on the turbo, so hopefully that means they are shipping them out to customers! Can't wait to compare the billet wheel to my cast one

Turbo arrived today! Looks good, don't see anything noticable as far as imperfections or anything wrong. Wheel looks sexy haha.

I PLAN on both truck manifolds forward and down, will require some sltering of the driver side outlet. I have s10 trans adapt motor mounts in mine, bolt in in the v6 location. My engine sits a little higher than most.

Here is more pictures.

Bought a tig welder to play with, I'm going to cut out the 1/2 npt ports on the intercooler and weld in 1" npt ports and then use a bbc electric water pump I have here laying around as th pump.

Looks good! I've started the same thing but it's the opposite. Just started pulling the 150k 5.3 apart and going to rip it out of the car. Got a custom cam motion cam that just came in and lots of other goodies showing up. Money money money! Great to see another 3rd gen on this forum!
