Fuel system
I went to FSP for them to tweak my tune since their recommended removal of the Cats. Cats are off and when put on the Dyno they found that my in tank fuel pump is failing (at 6,600 miles). They are getting the in tank fuel pump replaced but I have a dilemma. At 750 RWHP my fuel system is starting to get maxed out with the OEM Pump and Boost a Pump (I have Dual Nozzle Meth Injection). I think it would take some of that burden off the OEM in tank pump by adding the ECS Stage 1 fuel system. I think this will make it more reliable in the future. Does anyone have any Words of Wisdom or am I over doing it?

Went with the Fore Triple and Injector Dynamics 850's which has worked very well. What is your set up and what brand Dyno did you get 867 RWHP?

Injector size
I am using 80 lb injectors. I was having problems when running the A/C in stop and go traffic. My temps would go up to 260 -280 or more. The radiator and fans have helped. Even so I believe the proper fix is to have the fans on al of the time others might chime in. Dewitt's has a newer single brushless fan now but I will stay with my current setup. I have taken many long trips with no heating issues, unless I use the A/C in stop and go traffic.

Thanks for the information. I started a thead on this subject but all I received was BS answers. I have noticed mine running 230 with the AC on in traffic on a 95 degree day. Have stock radiator and fans but Matt has them running all the time. Some thing I will definitely keep an eye on it.

Okay we haven't seen any new videos for a while now. What did ya do? Sell that thing? LOL!
Had any chances to get to the track yet? I'm curious as to what kinda 1/4 mile times you can squeeze out
I'm still waiting for the blower assembly for mine.

No New Videos! Just cruising around looking for Victims. I probably won't go to the track until the weather cools down. Hot Weather is not good for ET.

Hot weather does suck for drag racing, when I ran some baseline runs in Feb and March it was great! Now I will probly only go at night for some new numbers and then wait for cooler weather to return in the winter.
