Bravo bravo!!!
Finally someone came out and said what I have been saying for so long!!
The fuel system is the big big key factor here. Hopping you changed the lines to handle the extra flow.
Tuning and PNP yea toss that right out unless its a shop car that they have been playing with for a year then don't expect to roll in on Monday and want the car dialed in and done by Friday.
Yours is coming together and you look to be done in a few days. Congrats again.

feed 1500 hp on methanol. Errol has taught me a lot. I have seen i
with my own two eyes! The way in which the fuel is routed is crucial
but the lines are rarely the problem. The fpr orfice is key. If it is too
small, as is the case on the fuel lab unit, it doesn't matter what size
the lines are. The bottleneck is the fpr. We get a lot of bad info from
well meaning people, brother!

Yes, Weldon. We're running 2 pumps, Magnaflow Pro 750 that's good for
up too 1200 on corn and a Bosch MS 044.
Actually gonna run the Fuel Lab fpr up front for the surge tank.
I'll post some vids next week of the car in action as well as some
dyno info. Mostly, I wanna help guys avoid some of the costly R&D
we've been through. Hind sights 20/20 , as they say lol

I should have clarified that the purse and shoes are for the wifey.
I wear a size 12 and pumps are hard to find for me

Corey, Weldon is old skool and has quite a pedigree. The Bosch units are
tried and true but they won't put up with the power this car is making.
They said, F you when it hit 22 lbs of boost! We drove and tuned
today and it is probably 75% there. We have about 10 hours
tomorrow and I'll hit the road.
I'm looking forward to hearing about your setup! I can only hope that
you didn't make some of the financial mistakes I did during the build!
I could have opened a used 996 turbo dealership for this money!
I'm anything but a cheapskate but jeez.....

He's photogenic because he used to do runway back in the day.
