Default Basic 87 Convertible Build

It has been years since I was on these forums. I just recovered my account last week, as I lost it while living over in KSA..

I used to be an avid poster on C4 Forced Induction and Nitrous threads under AFS_Racing. Here is "Miss Nasty".

What are you running for a fuel pump setup to support the power level with a supercharger?

Also: it's a shame there isn't still a C4 forced induction/nitrous subforum. (Guessing not enough traffic to justify it.) It would be nice to have our boosted setup stuff in its own section instead of lumped in to the other ones.

I am running a tank sump with bottom feed to a Weldon pump. -12AN forward split to twin -8AN feeds to the rails. Single -8AN return to the tank post boost referenced regulator. Currently, it is running out of injector.

Thank you! This is a build from quite a few years ago that has stood the test of time.

Named "Miss Nasty" on the streets, as I used to do a bunch of money races. With the hood down and windows rolled up, she looks like a well cared for, stock appearing C4. That is until she is started,...
