Nice setup!
How is the idle on the street with the big injectors?
I am debating going to the 160lb units and setting the car up with e85.
I had great luck with it in my previous build, and it could help me get a little
more out of my setup with stock L92 heads without pushing water.
Are you heading out to Byron on Saturday?

Thanks!
160's are NOT good for the street, IMO. I really feel you could get away with 96's, but it's pushing them, though it has been done. It depends on who's tuning the car, people have different opinions. I'm going to try to go to Byron Sunday, depending on weather.

Congrats on the new best MPH.

Did it take awhile for the 408 to light up those 76's or is it pretty responsive?

Hey stranger. It's not as responsive as the innovatives. It builds boost much different. I do think the head gaskets will hold up better, time will tell. They pull better in the upper rpm band. Boost starts to climb fast about 4500 rpm.
Did you get the shop car back together?

Thanks! As I said, it's been a rough season. Also nice to meet you after bs-ing on the net for so long. How did the night end up going for you?

I have had a rough season also but I finally was able to cut a semi clean pass off Saturday night. Friday I had a Coupler blow off under the car and then once I finally noticed that I had to mess with the fuel pressure and did not get it right all night. I might head to Byron this Saturday and see if I can get the car more dialed. Are you gonna be out there ?

Yea, I'm not crazy about getting loose mid track. That's why I called it a night. This weekend should do the trick!

Man, 160s fast, congrats.
I'll be at Byron on sat. Weather looks good, 60-70 and sunny so the track shouldn't be too cold. It would be cool to see some of you guys out there.
