Stock tank/93 octane walbro intank feeds 1st set of injectors.
7.8 gal fuel cell/C16 walbro inline feeds 2nd set of injectors which spray on top of the 1st set when they reach 80% (or whatever programmed) duty cycle.
So, I will be able to cruise around indefinitely on 93 octane, and race fuel will only be used when needed.

Yep, 16 injectors. 2 sets of rails, fp regulators, fuel lines, filters, tanks. Kurt @w2w is doing the same on his own car.
Base springs in the gates are .9bar (about 14psi). I ran it up to 24psi last year, not sure if I'll do the same again as I don't really have any plans to drag race it anymore.
I went with the tubular K-member because it was just too difficult to work on (spark plugs basically) with the stock/modified K-member. (I never had a tubular K-member before fwiw)
This one was made by PA, and is there road race version. It definitely seems like it would flex alot more than stock, and I think the mounting points for the lower control arms are too close together because it was hell getting the arms in. At least I can change plugs now.
I like the mounting points for BMR's K-member better, but they couldn't make me one that would accept stock motor mounts, which I needed because the tubular mounts I made bolt to the stock locations.

Ok from the sound of this to me (again i'm a noob to FI) but it seems like this is a track only car... but you have A/c WTF?? Is this a daily or a weekend car? either way.... I have to know what kinda of Fuel econ do you get with those on......

No, actually it's 95% street car. It won't be my daily driver, as I try and avoid rain and snow, but it will be driven otherwise.

I would love to set up my car like your own. If I only had the time, money, and patience.... Regardless, its beautiful. You should really be proud of it. Only thing is, you won't want to drive it. I can't believe you painted the underbody. Did you hire someone to do nothing but wash, clean, touch-up and wax it? I basically painted my entire engine/engine bay and it's a love/hate relationship. Looks good but is a bitch to maintain, even staying out of the rain (I have a daily driver Honda too.) Congratulations on a perfect F-body. I give it **********.

Thanks again guys.
Sandmann120- I made the turbo system, including the headers.
SStolen- Yeah, it will be a bit more upkeep, but having the lift definitely makes things easier.
CONVERTED- Total bill? Hmmm, a truckload of cash? (Honestly I don't know, and don't want to know). Gas mileage? It averaged around 16 last year, but I never made it through a tank of gas without frequent boostings
Pro Stock John- The fuel cell holds 7.8 gallons.
427- Ride from a hundred roll? You got it
LTSpeed- My main goal is to have a comfortable reliable car with tons of horsepower. It may occasionally see a road course or dragstrip, but no compromises to driveability will be made for performance.
