Thanks...I was thinking since my tank is already sumped, I could draw from the extra bung there instead of mounting a small cell up front like everyone else is doing.

I would use a Holley Blue with regulator and just run the line forward. The only thing I like about the small cell up front is the option to use race gas in the cell (separate source).

Since my bottom end is still stock, except for ARP rod bolts, I think the added safety of high octane spraying with the N2O would be a good thing.

Reckless, running a front fuel cell along with your stock fuel system is a good idea but keep in mind that if you run a fuel cell with higher octane than the stock fuel system is using it will lower the overall octane and it will fall somewhere in between the two octane ratings depending on a ratio of the #/Hr the stock fuel system is using Vs. the #/Hr the nitrous side is using at different RPM.

I feel that given our car/power level, using a single fuel tank is one less variable to worry about.

On the other hand, if you are running a 750-1,000 hp system (of nitrous only) it's better to use a single fuel cell in the front of the car due to the high acceleration.

What are the NA #'s? Dyno, and 1/4 mile?

kwik8racr, through the THD-400 it was 440-450 RWSAE, we haven't run the car NA in the 1/4 since it was built for nitrous. It would be interesting to run it NA but it's allot more fun on nitrous.

TA2SLOW346, it's a Vig 3,800 but it's stalling higher NA still.

Austrian Vette, I'm using 37# inj.


Thanks for the props Tony. We can't wait to get it back to the track but it's about 10 deg outside and the track stays closed under 40 deg.

Badz,
It was great talking with you. If we can be of any assistance call. I am running a 37# Bosch injector. We only need a 34# injector for the motor but 37# were easier to come by. In your application I recommended a 30# would be sufficient but I need to confer with Julio because of the Rpm's your motor will be spinning. Sorry if I didn't make that more clear on the phone. What RPM was it that you will spin to?
Dave
