Default Built a custom Stand-alone
I decied I was going to keep spraying my car so I built a custom stand alone for it. I finished it up today, I am going to run c16 in the stand alone and havent decided yet if im going to stay with the 150 shot or jump up to a 200 shot. I have a harris speed works plate and my car is an 05 vette with ls3 heads pat g cam and bolt ons and stock bottom end. Here are a few pics of the stand alone.

I did, it was my first time in a few years welding aluminum and i had the wrong size filler rod. I had to cut it and shorten it and o had 1/8 inch filler rod and it looks much better.

Good work!

How much fuel does it hold, where are you going to mount it and what tells you how much fuel is remaining?

Very nice!
I always feel if you are wanting to spray over 150 its best to jump to a standalone.
Also one great thing about a standalone and race gas is you can keep running the same shot(example of 150) and run more timing due to the better gas.

Thats was what i was thinking if doing is just staying on a 150 shot and putting timing back in so i can add power and not risk much more.

I would either cerimic coat those headers or heat wrap and wrap a heat shield of some sort around the fuel cell, or get some steel flasking and make a little fire wall between the fc and ac lines.. Paint it black of course. It gets hot under that hood

What's your plans on the vent line?

To rear of car?

Rollover valve?

Filter to keep dirt out under vacuum?

I would at least cap the vent line when that system isn't in use.
