HELP...centri FI build PLEASE !!!
i have a 408 9.5-1 compression coming from TSP and im wanting to get everything i need cuz i want my car running BAD.
It will have stock l92s, l76 intake and ls2 tb.
I am "planning" on running a D1SC and keep a "conservative" 650-700 rwhp to start with. 1st boosted car and i wanna get used to it first.
I am also planning to break the motor in with a mail order tune WITHOUT the procharger on it for probably 500 miles. then get a dyno turn when i add the procharger
questions:::
1. What fuel system would be recommended?? duel pumps, hot wire kit,injectors ???
2. I don't have to pin a Callies crank, right?( i wanna do it now if i do)
3. Is my break in process correct ?
4. will a Monster clutch stage 3 work for me? i already bought it but thinking about returning it.[/SIZE]
here is my thread i started if it helps at all

2. You don't have to pin the crank but you run the highly risk of the balancer slipping in the crank hub due to the higher tension of the belt. Unless the crank has a key on the hub, but then you would need a balancer that has a slot for the key. I would not skip this .
3. I have a 347 D1SC that makes 750rwhp and I have a monster stage 4. So far I'm over the rated range for this clutch. I would call them and ask if you could send it back for an upgrade. I would get a stage 5 or 6 if I were you. I mean I'm already looking at the stage six for myself.
4. Ask the engine builder that they recommend. All I did was put about 4 hours of running time, a couple heat cycles, a couple of revs, and made sure everything was working correctly. Then trailered the car straight to the dyno with the blower and 18lb of boost. I think I put around 5 miles from driving it around the block.

Only suggestion I have is if you are going to use the stock fuel lines, swap out the 01 fuel filter/regulator with a 98-99 filter and get a regulator on the rail with a return line back to the tank. Additionally I would add the racetronix fuel pump harness with whatever pump set up you use, dont think you will need a BAP if you go dual in tank pump.
Good luck with the build, you will love it!

1. What fuel system would be recommended?? duel pumps, hot wire kit,injectors ???
Dual pumps is a must with upgraded/dedicated wiring for everything. You'll probably be looking at 80# injectors at the levels you want. Upgraded rails and lines would be recommended as well. Check out the A&A setup, not saying buy it, but it is a good layout.
2. I don't have to pin a Callies crank, right?( i wanna do it now if i do)
Pin the crank, non-negotiable.
3. Is my break in process correct ?
4. will a Monster clutch stage 3 work for me? i already bought it but thinking about returning it.
I would also take a look at twin disc options. I'm happy with my ACT twin disc. Very nice drive-ability and bite, but I'm only pushing 620rwhp and 550rwtq.

I have a stage 2 ecs fuel system as well as a dual nozzle meth system that would be more than adequate for you that I took out of my boost car, I was making 800 at the wheels with both of them.

could i just run some 60-80lbs injectors while im breaking my motor in WITHOUT the blower ? I really dont feel like buying one set of injectors for NA break in and then buy another set when i add the blower.

btw, talked with A&A today and they said that if my callies crank is keyed that i dont have to pin it. he also said that it would hurt if i still wanted to pin it. I WILL PIN IT, not going to start skipping stuff now.

Just put it together the way you plan on keeping it blower ect. then just stay out of boost drive it 500miles that's what I did works fine! you can get some 60# or 80# injectors and a KB boost a pump! and make 650rwhp! I ran like that for a year! went low 10s add meth later retune and your good for 700 easy! that's what I did I built up to it! down the road you can add a A&A fuel system leave the Kenny bell on too and your good for 800rwhp! if you can I would just buy some #80s and a A&A fuel system wait on the meth good luck!

HOLLY SMOKES, 2,000$ for this set up new. after this project is done i am going back into the "the true cost of FI" sticky, and re-write it. lol

And I've thrown a turbo kit on a car with a stock tune and drove it with stock injectors to get tuned (staying out of boost)
