need more fuel!!!!

I was wondering if anyone has the step by step procedure to turn up the fuel on the IP, i'm not worried about the car being reliable or gas mileage, i'm just trying to get the most power out of it for the track. I have been bracket racing it and love how it is so consistent. Any help would be great! thanks

OK....A 617.950......Try a search on "Fuel injection pump" aslo superturbo and Finland....

There are a lot of threads with some VERY interesting photos...Particularly from members in Finland that are doing things that will blow your mind.

Come back when you have the money to do this.

with all the money into that motor with the supercharger and turbo/intercooler i could swap in a gm ls1 with a 6 speed and still get 24 mpg on the highway and have 320 hp on tap. that's just my opinion but it is amazing how much work that must have been, does anyone know the hp/trq #s that thing is pushing?

You sound exactly like a friend of mine who visits the W-Body forum rather consitantly. "I could put a ls1 in that!" heh...

Just because it is done doesn't mean its the cheapest, most effecient, or easiest way to do something...

Generally it isn't...

I bet that was their own time to do it...so it was just materials cost....

Except for the IP that they paid to do.......far different than farming out that job in its entirety.
