Are you guys running the Stage 2 Snow Meth inj system for GM cars with MAFs? It seems like the way to go, but I was wondering if it was really worth the extra $.

Both our kits are Snow Stage 2, but not the MAF version. I got mine before they started making that one. Keep in mind our MAF's max out pretty early. I like mine, as its referenced off of boost. My MAF maxed out at 4500 rpm.

That one does look like a good option though!!

Thanks guys! Seems like this little project is never ending. I keep finding all these "little" things that a guy needs to buy to do it right. Snow Meth, Megasquirt, Racetronix pump, TiAl blowoff valve....in the words of Dilbert, GAH!!!

Which fuel system are you going with? The Racetronix wire kit and pump? Getting a BAP to go with that?

Yes, I was planning on getting the Racetronix kit. BAP huh? God, another new term.....OK, give it up Doug, what else do I need?

I figure next year if I get the blower head unit enlarged I will add the single big-*** intercooler, bigger fuel lines, & the FAST fuel rails. Not sure on a pressure regulator....now or next year?

What the hell did I get myself into?

Mark, if you want to get out now I am sure you can find a good home for the unnecessary parts. Just post the parts you need to dispose of and in 24 hours it will all be just a memory…. Heck, just leave your garage door open tonight and you don’t need to bother posting. Make sure to leave the installation instructions with the ProCharger.

I was actually thinking about putting a hitch on the GTO & using it for my new tow vehicle.

Mark, I got the Racetronix kit, I liked it. Easy install. The BAP, as stated, is basically a hobs switch on a voltage booster. So when you hit boost it cranks the voltage going to the pump up to 15volts or so, and they flow a whole lot more fuel at 15volts compared to 13 or so. I think it allows the Racetronix system to supply over 600 hp worth of fuel. Course, as I understand, you'll want to get the return line system system for your fuel system when you get really big... time to apply for a new credit card

That is what I thought when I did heads/cam on the T/A. (Injectors, timeing chain, fuel pump, stall, etc. etc. etc.) It really does never end, But the results are great

Mark,

I've got a fuel pump voltage booster sitting on the shelf collecting dust. It comes on only at 3psi or above so it is very easy on the fuel pump during everday driving. Installation is completely under the hood and looks nice. It's even a red anodized package.

Shoot me a PM if you need it. I'll make you an offer that you cannot refuse.
