This is what I got to work with. Yes it will be trunk mounted. Now what the hell do I do. LOL!!

 

What do I do with the curly thing? Is that the vent and do I need to run it outside the car?

 

That curly thing is illegal. You need a rollover vent.

I would take that, cut the bottom off and mount it in the nose and redo the bottom... you really don't want your standalone in the trunk, the bulkhead and everything just makes it a big pita.

 

whats the purpose of the bulkhead? I have a gto, and already have a nice Crash bar protecting my as tank, so could i just put the fuel cell behind that and be legal?

Edit, i guess i could anywayz, and put the carpet back up and no onewould ever know its there :sneaky:

 

It's a firewall, required by nhra becasue our trunk isn't sealed. GTO probably doesn't have to do anything because you have an actual trunk.

 

beautiful, then no need to put that ugly *** carpet back in, lol. thanks man, and that was fast as hell! lol

 

So it is the vent, just an illegal one? Im sure I could swap it out.
I would rather run the fuel to the front then the battery to the back. Whats the negitve of running it from the trunk? I cant see anything wrong with it.

I dont class race and the tracks around here will never look for a bulkhead, hell you can go 8s without a roll bar at most tracks.

 

That means your track's safety inspection is very poor, and someone't gonna get hurt.

Cut the bottom off that cell, and ust shorten it up. That's still plenty of capacity for a standalone.

The vent, can be changed to a rollover type vent I'm sure.

Running the cell in the trunk, means you need the bulkhead, now have 2 long *** fuel lines running the length of the car that takes up space, can spring a leak, and weigh alot, and arent' cheap.

The time for the pump to recover when there's a pressure change could be alot more too, I don't know that for sure, but with that much line between the pump and the regulartor I'd worry that the initial on might cause a pressure change that the regulator will have to catch up with, etc.

I just wouldn't do it... seems like it's just adding mroe possible problems. Keep it in the nose, keep it simple.

 

x2 I agree. Put the standalone up front. I also think you might have an initial pressure drop on the hit with those long lines, maybe not tho??

 

I dunno it came out of the supossed fastest stock block LS1 in the world, but he street races and wont release actual times. None the less that car moved the hell out, with this system trunk mounted.

Truthfully I dont want a cut of switch for the battery sticking out the rear of my car. Wires back or fuel line forward is about the same weight so no biggie there. The car barely moves so I highly doubt I bust a line. Doesnt seem to be an issue with pressure on the factory set up? Guess its just matter of opinion.
I guess first thing to do is get a new vent. Then Ill think about it some more b4 I install it. Still waiting on the Nitrous kit anyways.

 

Who's car did that come out of? I'm curious now.

 

Mario aka MrBadd

 

Heres the car

It looks like it moves pretty good, fastest stock shorty anywhere I dunno about that, but it looks like it runs good. Car spun on that pass and if he stiffens the compression on the shocks one click, it will settle better, I dunno what that runs but there's more in it then what that pass there was... probably a tenth or 2 more.

It looks like I'd guess, maybe a high 9 second car? Juggernaut went 9.6 or something like that with a 150 shot and a cam.. stock heads and that was a WHILE ago, if he had that car today I bet it would be a couple tenth's quicker then that. I dunno if that car's that fast. Might be, but from the looks of that video I wouldn't say it is for sure.

 

It got alot faster later in the season. I know it moves out really good, just dont know the actual numbers. Im pretty sure its in the bottom 9s though, possibly high 8s. He thought the old record was about 9.4s and says hes quicker, just wont prove it.
He also raced in KOTS chitowns King of the streets. Cool race with no prep past the starting line and b4 the line you prep yourself limited to 10.5 tire with no wheelie bars.
Crazy fast cars.

ohhh Mario...the same Mario that bragged about having the fastest nitrous LT1 in the country but declined to show up to the LTX shootout

 

Yep thats the same mario. lol. He told me about his LT1 says it went 8.30s on the gun and 9s on motor 15.1 compresssion etc etc. No matter what the guy builds fast *** cars, and if this set up worked for him it should work pretty good for me.

 

8.30 out of an lt1 engine in an f body, that's a good one. That's a line of BS if I've ever heard one.

 

I though so too, then again I guess its possible IMO. The known record is in the 8s on spray, and the fastest an 8.08 on boost wich should be broken this year.

 

Right, 8.08 on boost. I think Taner's got the record for fastest nitrous lt1, and he's at what 8.8 or 8.9? Nowhere near 8.3, that's almost another class all together. It IS a different chassis cert.

That guy's full of ****, 8.30 with a nitrous ltx LOL. Yeah 1/8th mile I believe it, 1000 foot I would believe it. 1/4, no friggin way. I got a couple 8.30 cars that are here in the new england area that would LOVE a piece of that thing LOL.

But that would never happen, he doesn't even show up to the races that mean something nevermind this far out to get made a fool of.
