BOMB direction advice

[TStinson]

See profile for current mods... .

Don't pull, very little towing..... Just to enjoy the extra POWER!!!



If the opportunity were to arise, and $$ differences did not matter, in which order should the following BOMBS be added:



A. FASS fuel system

B. HX40, HX50 or B series turbo (please opinion as to which & why)

C. Water/Methanol Boost cooler system

D. Head work (porting, o-ring etc. )

E. Cam

F. Other suggestions welcome

A



D= Van Haisley Fire Rings. 80 psi



E



B= Twins. HX-40 16 2cm and a Big Brother.



F= Mach 6 EDMs





G= P-Pump



H= Helmet



C= mabey

A. fass system to make sure you always have fuel pressure (it looks like you still have orignal VP?) and it looks like you already have some good mods going.



B. O-ringing mostly due to higher miles and then the next step



C. Bigger turbo of your choice



D. Cam



E. Really big injectors



F. Water/meth injection



H. Twin turbos



Just my ideas

Nice times for a 2wd stick. I would step up one size on injectors, DDIV, and get a DD turbo, and a DD cam. That's about as far as I'd go.



How's the clutch holding up to speed shifting? I see that you have a MU 13-1. 25 Con OFE.

Hmmm... . 180+ views and 3 replies - which BTW are appreciated.



FASS seems to be gaining popularity. Wonder if DC/Cummins is noticing this??



Swayse - I figure times could improve by at least . 25-. 50 sec. (better 60' times) IF I could launch harder, which could happen if wheelhop could be eliminated. As it is, I'm running stock Michelin 245's @ approx 30psi, launch at approx 1500 rpm w/DDUFM set on 5x5, and feather the thottle enough to keep wheelhop under control - just about until I clear the tree - then HANG ON! Shifting at approx 3000-3100rpm.



The MU 13-1. 25 OFE is hanging in pretty well so far. It's pushing 40000 miles, mostly highway, but shows no sign of slipping, yet. I can row the 5-spd (generally only use 4 of 'em tho') as quickly as anyone (IMHO ) - in fact, all I can say is that I beat a SB auto. Chevy p/u (with hedders, K&N, programmer & 3. 73 gears) outta the hole (twice) and then pulled away from him all the way down the track ( I believe his air filter was getting clogged with soot )



Not bad for a 7280# paperweight.

Cool.

A. Would be larger replacement fuel lines and fittings (you already have twin pumps so go to -8AN and be done, I still run dual Carter pumps at 700hp so dont sweat it. BTW there might just be something better come out in the near future for our fuel supply needs)



B. Traction bars (to leave the line harder)



C. For street and strip driving I would either go with a PDR40 or a ksB1. The ksB1 will spool faster but the exhaust side is pretty restrictive. If you went with the 40 then you have a start to a PDR twin setup, if you are later inclined



D. Cam



E. Mach 4's (these might be a tad smokey with a single on the street but if you got Mach 3's or 3. 5's they would make for a good street injector after you got twins)



F. O-rings and studs and maybe a P&P while your at it.



G. The rest of the twin setup



H. Mach 6's



I. Some big slicks (these might be needed earlier so place them as you will)



J. 4 link





BTW your clutch probably wont last much past E or F.
