How long before you get all the boost in, under 2 seconds?

I love driving the car. Ive made 6-8 hour trips on several occasions with the old iron engine. I just built a fresh aluminum version to drop some weight. I assembled the engine top down. If anyone is going to ruin my hard earned money itll be me.
I put 6,000 miles on the car in 2017. I drive it 3-5 days a week depending on weather.

It gets with it. I am really excited for a half mile event this summer. Its a long shot because of being an unprepped airport surface. But should be good.

Thanks man! Ill get it!

From what I've seen with class cars [here comes a big generalization]. all in by 3.0 seconds is a pretty safe and lazy boost curve. All in under 1.0 is sick, and I've seen friends get it all in between 1.5 and 2.0....

Since I was using two cheap *** pumps I decided to run their own primary fuel supply and feed. I learn many years ago dealing with turbo hondas that with proper feed you can really squeeze power out of things without having ridiculous money into a fuel system.

So even with twin lines I think I have $550 into fittings, Goodrich hose, and the pumps. Thats a cheap 1,400hp setup.

It's unreal how much of a difference the menscers went over the Vikings. That's a day to night difference. Do you think/know if those would have that much of a car thats naturally aspirated ?

Also about the heads... don't tell everybody you went faster with a TFS 245 cathedral head compared to the dart LS3 heads. Word is on tech put that if you go aftermarket LS3 heads you are KING. What a way to defeat the odds

Its more efficient. 2 -6’s flow more than a -10. You can also use 2 -6 cheapie fuel pressure regulators instead of one big dollar alky unit.

Maybe it was me but I felt I was overpowering them with 174 trap speeds. I literally couldnt get the car to 60. first pass with the menscers I put it on the bumper. Second pass was an 8.1 and third pass was a 7.9. I gave it a little more boost and went 7.81 that same weekend.

The vikings are a great shock. They served me very well. In the end the warrior were designed for 750hp on a small tire. Running 8.3 period was 500hp beyond what they call for.
I went 8.5-8.6 with them. I beleive thats about where they were good for. a few guys have gone faster with heavier cars, sorted out suspensions, and good tracks. Ive seen one guy go 8.22 with the regular viking warrior.

I have the viking crusader on the front of my car now. That is an excellent choice for anyone.

Its pretty awesome that $300 in pumps will go this far lol

I am still running a single aeromotive black/red regulator as well. the reg is in between the front rails as a y and a single 6 down.

$131 shipped on amazon right now! Pretty awesome! I have one at 21v supporting 600ish (E85) now I'd guess. They are work horses! On paper flow more than a 4303... and it looks like you just proved that as well. You still have the check valves in them too?
