Default Got my impedance converter today!

I met up with Jeff from Acceleronics today up here in Northern California and picked up my impedance converter.

The unit looks awesome (it is not the one on their website, Acceleronics ). It is now anondized black and is smaller then it looks in the pictures that I have seen. It is about 3.5 x 5 or so.

I plan on hooking it up this weekend (possibly tomorrow) and tossing in the 83 lb/hr injectors and seeing if I can get the car to run <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .

I'll try and snap a few pics of the unit out of the car as well as a few of it installed if I can borrow a camera.

Updates will follow!

Scott

Well,

There is no way that I need all of that fuel right now, but my plan is to go with a bigger built motor in the future, so I only wanted to do things once. I plan to put together a motor with the following combination in the next year or so:

-C5R Block (427 w/ ~8:1)
-JE Inverted Dome Pistons
-Crower Billet Rods
-Billet Crank
-Hogan Intake
-90mm TB

My current combo is:
-Stock Shortblock
-Incon TT Stage I
-LS6 Intake
-ARE Stage II+ Heads (2.08/1.60)
-Custom Turbo Cam

I am in the process of putting together a fuel system for 1000hp and I have all of the parts but the lines and the fittings. Here are the details on that:
-Speed Inc. Billet Rails
-(2) Walbro GSL392 External Pumps
-Racetronix Custom PnP Harness w/ integrated BAP
-Aeromotive Regulator
-Filters, water/fuel separator, etc.

Whew...I am in the process of shopping around for my block now and then I will see what I can do. I am contemplating getting the C5R heads since I need to have the intake custom made anyway, but we will see...I need to do a little more research there <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

If anybody else needs one, I have a brand new one from Aceleronics that I have never used. (We decided to go with a F.A.S.T. system)
I'll take $350 for it and throw in free shipping.
