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

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.

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.

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.

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.
