Yes, they are. Commonly done.

 

^^ maybe on the super fast race cars. I'll be happy with mid-low 11's and you're aiming to break a record. Good looking car though, I'd love to see it run

 

just welded on my madman limiters.......hoping to keep the nose down finally lol

build is looking awesome man!!! hope to see it this year in BG

 

Mike itll go faster with the limiters i ber. You wont loose as much forward monentum

 

I know the feeling.

 

Finally got the car home from the chassis shop, now I just have to paint the engine bay then I can drop the engine back in and wire it and plumb the fuel and water system. Yea! lol!

 

I like how those limiters are set up.......easy adjustment......I was thinking about that but I was afraid the metal there may not have been strong enough to hold the suspension.......car looks awesome!!! very nice build

 

mike i want to see your car on the bumper at cecil this year screw the limiters!

 

Finally got the engine bay painted, it's ON like Donkey Kong now!

 

That is how mine are done, but with cable instead of chain. A 1/2" adjustment makes a difference. Been that way for over five years. Zero problems. I've seen a chain deal, all under the fender. Looks like kind of a pain to make last minute adjustments in the staging lanes.

 

Made a little more progress tonight. Still need a couple fittings and the fuel system will be finished up. Getting close to only needing wiring done. Ugh! Lol

 

Looks badass brother

 

Got all of the plumbing finished up last night, couple mechanical things to get cleaned up tonight then I'll be needing to start wiring.


Thanks man!

 

So nice and so clean. Amazing work man! Wish I could see your car in action.

 

It's been a while since I did an update, so I thought I would fill you all in with some more pics.

Got MOST of the wiring done....





Then I took the car back to my chassis guy to get some small little things finished up, I pick it up tomorrow, then I just have a few little things to finish up at home and it should be able to fire up!! Hopefully going to go to the track a week from tonight.

 

Is that a CSR pump, I had one like it that had a shaft seal fail and try to overheat my motor.

 

MANNNNNN....thing looks wicked..Good job. When finished and you plan on going to a cruise or show night around town get ahold of me..

 

Well it's ready to fire up, but for some reason the ECU isn't seeing a crank signal from the crank trigger. Kinda have to have that for everything else to work. We traced all the wires and made sure we had continuity and all is good there. Might be a bad sensor or possibly even a bad ECU. Have to dig in a little deeper on Sunday.

 

It runs! My wife took a video of it running on her phone and she uploaded it to Facebook. I can't seem to get it to youtube, so you're more than welcome to go to my page and watch it if you'd like.

Friend me while you're there.

 

Here's a short video from the dyno the other day. This is the first WOT pull we made. Only went to about 5000 rpm, we're creeping up on the power, making sure it has enough fuel in it as the boost rises. This pull it made about 12 psi of boost, the next pull it went to 6300 and it made 17.5 psi. It's on it's way to making 22-24 psi at 7000. As we were getting ready to make a full pull, the nose cone for the starter broke off. So we were done for the day. Oh well, there were a couple small issues I wanted to fix up anyway, so I'll replace the starter and get back to the dyno next week to finish it up!
