Not really expecting to gain much from the heads, intake and engine change. I didn't want to have a situation that many of us have seen where the nitrous pops the plastic intake, the fuel rails go flying off and I jump out screaming with my car on fire. The 6-bolt heads give me confidence that I can hold my goo and flow over 15% better. The blower is maxed out, so I won't be trying for any more with it. I may try the Dallas Performance F2 one day though. This setup at least gives me the option. Although Callies says the rods are good for 1500hp, I've read on another forum these rods have been tested beyond the 2k mark.
I can hit the pudding progressively and roll into the shot, so no plans for any more stages. I plan on starting out with the 200 pills and seeing where I'm at. I've got pills for up to 300.

Here's that video. Music is annoying. I keep waiting for Will and Chris to jump out from the Roxbury.

That's why you need a rear kill switch.

Intake explodes, drivers jumps out (key still on), electric fuel pump still running, too hot at front of car to kill power, not good

Rear kill switch = Race car lol

Thanks man. It's only about 2/3 done from what it's going to be when I'm done with it. Got to ride in the TT Gallardo while I was there yesterday .

1200RWHP with 1300RWHP worth of pills in my pocket.

If I were a die hard racer, I would be face plating the trans, doing a slipper clutch and a good 2-step. I'm trying to find that balance between having a car that performs decent at the track and a sinister machine on the street.

I will be wiring the hot through the stock fuel pump relay. Engine dies, kills the fuel pump relay and power to the dedicated system. I'm still running away like a bitch!

Correct me if I'm wrong

Fuel pump relay is activated by the ignition switch, has nothing to do with engine running otherwise the engine won't start.

Key on, fuel pump pulses for ~1 second. You start the car and the fuel pump comes on. If the car dies, you hear the pump for 1 second and it dies. It's a safety feature in case you get in to a wreck and the fuel system is compromised.

Life is getting a little boring these days. Everybody knows what happens when BlownBlue gets bored!
