Anyone car to take a whack at what twin 044's, 30psi base and a 1:1 ref, 210# injectors should do whp wise on E85?

I've seen a car make 1100rwhp on a load dyno with less injector than that on E85 with twin drop in pumps.

On the speedo, if you search really hard you can come up with the reluctor and sensor that came in the TH400 on some trucks from 89-90.
Hard to find though.

Ah, the 3l80. I have a couple of them, but I'd just assume use this Dakota Digital adapter on thevtrand I have in it now.

My 4x5 exhaust adapter came in today so I can get started on my aluminum exhaust.

Got my BOV flange welded on, and the old hole for the BOV welded shut on the intercooler. New plug wires came in also.

Think a strange chromoly 3" shaft with 1350 joints would be strong enough for this?

Got started on the exhaust tonight, got my 5x4 reducer welded on, and started mocking up my 4" aluminum exhaust. Called it quits because the damn mesquitoes are crazy today!

Joys of owning a nova, big exhaust is easy! 5" to beside the trans, drops to 4" aluminum and runs to the back axle. That's all done, I need to weld on a couple hanger tabs now, and I want to wrap it down to the end of the steel.

Also built a crank pinning tool, tested it on a junk crank and balancer, works damn good! I want to pin my balancer so I can Permiantly mark it after I verify timing

new melling pump on the way, along with my ls9 gaskets. Picking up the engine this Saturday.

Didnt feel like running the injector spacers, so I just sat the rails on the incectors and tigged brackets on them, no adapters to worry about now, as well as bought one of the billet bar bells for the rear oil galley that saccitycorvette sells. bought a 99 camaro SS roller for $100, has bmr tubular control arms and panhard bar, and sway bar. Going to part it out, think I can make a decent chunk off of it. Also bought a storage container and set it up as my engine/trans clean room.

Thanks man! Getting closer! Little bummed, I just had my machinist get my rings and bearings for me, I started checking ring gaps and the top ring was .042 and second was .045 out of the box! Well he ordered me standard bore ls1 rings, not 3.905 bore rings. Luckily he can have them in tomorrow.

.042.... would be kinda loose eh?

iTrader: (12)

Yea, she might puff a little! Maybe I should just add a second s480 and then leave them alone haha

Had a heartbreaking discovery today when preparing for Rod and and piston install! Discovered one of my pistons was cracked! Right on top and is visible in the first ring land also! FAQ! So I ordered dublicate set of new pistons, going to find some hippies and steal their gram scale and make them all
match when hey get here.

ordered a 40,000 gvw tru cool plate and fun cooler, going to mount twin 8" fans in it in the rear, also ordered all the fittings to convert the trans to 8an and run it back to the cooler and back, going to wire the fans on a temp switch, but also to a toggle so I can engage them in the staging lanes if ever needed.

Also ordered a case of 20/50 brad penn in preparation for the upcoming d day

Dang! That's a bummer.

Yea, bummer on the pistons-good catch though, better to find it now before the boost does.
What turbo did you end up using, I must have missed that part
