Here are the exhaust mods.. It was miserable taking the system on and off with slip fittings.
ARH 2" headers, cut and added v-bands and 8 EGT bungs.
Cut and welded the mid pipe, added v-bands, removed the mufflers and ran 3" straight pipes. (the hangers and clamps at the tips are temporary, until I order a set I can weld on)
Some more updates.. Unfortunately it looks like this weekends mile and a half event is cancelled due to rain.
I have doubled up on the fire system. (2) 10 pound Firefox bottles. One is feeding 4 nozzles under the hood. The other feeds 2 under the dash and 2 over the stock fuel tanks.
Dual chutes are required over 250 mph.. Also cut up a perfectly good wing from Carlyle Racing to meet our rules. I did add extra struts to the wing due to the speeds we run as well as the fact that we cannot run a wickerbill.
Chute mounts and push bumper. Dual release handles are in the pic above.
changing anything else at the same time or is this next outing going to be a back to back comparison with only the real change being this new intake?
Plan is to spray 2 stages thru the manifold, but I have so many other things to test at the next event (chutes, wing, sensors, aero) not to mention the change to drive-by-cable setup.. I think the spray will wait for another event. Plan right now is to test it on the dyno with the new intake/tb and then to the track in July.
I also have a 4" pulley to throw at it (from 4.25")
awesome. will be super interested to see how the intake works out. this is such an epic build.
Thanks, hopefully the gains are significant at the top end.. But it definitely has to make up for the additional drag the 4.5" cowl hood is going to add!
