Default KKs 427 98mm turbo FRC build

I was finally able to make some hits on my new build. I am very happy so far. The car is going to fly once I am able to add more power. Here is a little about the car. I plan on doing some of the small tire racing. Can't really give away the times but they are looking like I might have something to run with the local small tire racers.

2000 FRC
427ci RHS 11.0cr
Allpro 12-4 solid roller
Holley Hiram
Holley Dominator ECU
RPM glide/9"
GTX5533R Gen2 98mm turbo
5" exhaust with muffler
Leash boost/bump with C02

Looks great. Any run time on it yet?

Pay close attention to those plastic push to connect hoses for the waste gates. In my experience, they do not hold up very well when subjected to heat and melt. I'm planning to use braided hose or hard line this time around on all boost control lines in the engine bay.

I had straight fittings on some and the heat melted the line. I put the 90s on and it helped because the plastic 90 did not transfer as much heat to the line compared to the straight fitting. I have some clear high temp line to try. It is suppose to take more heat. I test the system to make sure its holding pressure on the C02 side before each run. I would like to have AN line and that might be in the future.

1.24 60
141mph in the 1/8 on 18lbs
It has lots more to go.

Your numbers sound very promising congrats.

I'm not too worried about your CO2 side. Lose the reference line to the bottom side of the waste gate and it could cost you an engine. Ask me how I know. Just trying to help out.

I have yet to find a photo site that seems to work for me, but, for video, I just use YouTube.

Nice numbers so far.

Looks incredible! "Lots more in it" is an understatement. I'll bet it goes 160 minimum in the 1/8 if you step on it.

Easily the baddest C5 engine bay I've ever seen. Where did you find the room to mount a muffler?

Looking into AN line now. I don't care for the push lock but it was easy. Hard line probably be best.

I was on pump E85 but was going to run out of fuel system once I turned it up so instead of buying new injectors and such I changed to C16. Holley 160s is what I am running now.
