Damn it!!! I just got my D1 set up finished and you had to go and do this







Can't wait to see how it turns out and the pics. Are you still running the same fuel system and twin intercoolers? Nice upgrade!!!

Did you go with the F1A?

Yep, same fuel system with the stock hard lines on the frame using the EVAP as a return. The old 3.5" twins won't hold out long. Only reason they will work in the meantime is because I am going to actually start using my meth kit. But sometime (this winter probably), I am going to go to a single big FMIC. I am actually thinking about laying it horizontal parallel with the ground like speed did on his sequential turbo setup. Its 'just' the regular F1. This one is an older one though with the 5.0:1 step up ratio, so that will help to pully it down easier too. Right now, I am using the 7.65 crank and a 4.25 on the blower. I'm guestimating this will get me 13.5~14psi with the hat on....

The SDCE has some other benefits besides not slipping, like never ever having to tighten the belt. Plus you grab the belt and it has no tension on it, Your blower bearings will thank you for that. The regular 8 rb will work if you keep the belt tight though, the 6 rib was the bad one. IMO the SDCE is a worthwhil investment but like a lot of things on on eof these you can do without it.

Depends on your cam, 14psi wit a small cam and 14psi with a big cam are two different things. I'm not having gasket issues with the big cam and 14psi with the F1A though, I'm really running it slow with a 7.25/4.25 and was at 5000ft DA tonight and it just touched 14psi at 7000rpm.

my cam is probably a 'medium' sized I would call it... 224/232 .581/.595 114+2 I'm only going to go to 6500 at most, unless I hit 14 psi before then, if so, I will only go to whatever RPM 14psi comes in at.

I'm sure it will be OK as long as you run good gas or meth and dont get too greedy. Just have to see where its at.
