I hear that about more work, I have been researching for about 2 years. I'm waiting on an answer from the guy that's building the Whipple, but if I don't hear a price range or a timeline I think I'm going with a Procharger since you can pretty much bolt them on.
Back to this sick build, when do you think it will see the dyno?

Awesome man! Looks like both ours will be running in about the same time frame. Thats the thing with these builds, nothing ever goes as planned. I'm scheduled in for tuning mine on 5/26/12. I changed the setup one last time so we'll see what it brings back. Hope everything goes smoothly for you man can't wait to see the outcome.

I tried starting it up last night once i loaded the first tune from Ed. It would crank and turn over but then just die. I realized this morning that i never did properly set the TPS on the throttle body. I'm going to set that tonight and try it again and see if it will fire up.

Finally made it down to the dyno. We ran into a wall at 5000 rpms where fuel was being cut. After posting a thread on efi live, they suggested a table I needed to update. Will update that and take it for a test drive this weekend to see if problem is solved. Car made 480rwhp at 5000 rpm. Tuner believes once we solve this issue and timing is added and Meth installed should be able to hit 7000rwhp. It does appear I may need a smaller pulley for the f1a to hit 15 lbs. We saw between 10 and 12 lbs on the dyno.

That's what I thought too. I'm not changing the pulley anytime soon so I will see how much it makes once we get the 5000 rpm issue fixed. I think they were worried about the 236/246 .576/.601 112 Cam that is installed was going to be an issue.

so far I'm at 643 rwhp @5850 rpm with no meth, and 14psi.I was running out of fuel as well. I'm running -8an and -6an fuel lines,lonnies double pumps, 80lb injectors. I didn't have a boosted regulator so I got a aeromotive boosted fuel regulator and modified the fuel rails for added measure which I didn't have when I took it in for tuning. You have a more aggressive cam and a great head combo so you should do well in the 700rwhp mark. Keeps us posted

I did some looking today and noticed the wire that comes off my hobbs switch was not connected anymore. I'm not sure if that was causing me the 5000 rpm issue but certainly would be an issue. I have a -8an feed and -6an return, diy double pumps, 80lbs, aeromotive boosted fuel regulator and each rail is feed independently from my y block. Hopefully I will be able to take it for a test spin tomorrow and see if the issue is still there.
