Another fuel system question! I know, I know! :-) Okay, here's the jist of it:
I'm running a NX Gemini Twin wet setup with the two shark nozzles and we currently have it set at a 250 shot. We have all the safety stuff like fuel pressure safety switch, etc. so it will shut it down if the fuel pressure gets too low.
Now, everyone knows it's a bugger to watch the fuel pressure gauge, shift light and track at the same time, so it's kinda understood that during my 10.78 run, I did not even attempt to figure out what my fuel pressure was! <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0"> Yes, I have Atap, but did not have it hooked up & running on this day, another oversight.
The motor is coated internally for nitrous use after it had to be rebuilt when some moron let it get low on oil and spun a bearing. <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> It has been balanced & blueprinted and runs like a raped ape, but do I need to be concerned about not having enough fuel pressure?? I have seen quite a few of the heavy nos guys upgrading their fuel systems to ward off any problems with a low fuel pressure condition. With my fuel pressure safety valve I won't really have a "problem" with a low pressure condition as it will just shut the system down, but to keep the system on, should I upgrade or make changes??
Thanks!

Re: Another fuel system question! I know, I know! :-) I took my camcorder...mounted it on the tripod and seat belted it into the rear seat area to record my fp gauge as i went down the track. You HAVE to monitor it SOMEHOW....I'd hate for you to break ...heck get a friend to ride with you and watch it for you

Re: Another fuel system question! I know, I know! :-) I don't have anyone willing to sit in the empty back and white-knuckle grip onto the cage!! <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">
Camcorder is a good idea that I will have to work on along with getting my laptop to sit somewhere and not fly around when the Atap is running! <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Re: Another fuel system question! I know, I know! :-) or get a guage with a high low memory. I have one from autometer. After I do a blast I come to a stop press the low button see how low FP went, press the high button see how high it went. Press the reset button and repeat <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

Re: Another fuel system question! I know, I know! :-) AH!! Another good idea, just would have to pull that gauge pod again, what a PITA! <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">
