    Floor-It Pump Help

    I bought a Floor it pump in 2012. Supposedly a stroker. 3 months later it blew up, completely, while on the dyno. Insides were exploded, pieces everywhere, unfixable. He said he'd replace it......after a year the guy stopped answering his phone. I never did get a replacement and wouldn't...

    LLY twins? Or bigger VGT?

    The first compound setup on my LLY was a Garrett 475 (journal bearing 4202) with the stock turbo, all stock engine/fuel, and EFI. A very nice combination. Made 550hp uncorrected on a Mustang dyno at 4400' elevation. Drove really well and felt a ton stronger than stock, I still have that kit...

    No way ricer...

    There's a guy in Salt Lake City who builds some truly nasty 4cyl Japanese cars. He does the turbos and intercoolers, don't know about the engines. Not necessarily junker looking, and those things are fast. Race one of them and it'll clean your clock. His own car is a 4wd Eagle (?) which I saw...

    Wagler Mahle pistons

    Mahle race cast is a really good piston. I've used them on 4 built/multiturbo engines. They have a very very, slight lip, almost none and much less than stock. The crown-close as I could measure is .120" thicker than stock LLY.

    Achates they really came with 44 mpg at 6 Nov 2018

    Achates used to make injectors for a British diesel manufacturer, and do dyno testing for different companies. I'm surprised to see that opposed cylinder thing actually driving around. A good friend worked at Achates for several years some time back when they were developing it. He was the...

    72stg2r, sxe372’s in a triple setup?

    My latest LLY setup is a 472 on top with 2-369 T4 atmospheres, 125% injectors. Stock valley CP, big Industrial stroker on top. Enough fuel. Makes just shy of 1300hp which is plenty. Hard tuning the smoke out at 4400-6500' elevation. I run mostly on tune 2, sometimes 1 and sometimes 3...

    Sinister Diesel "Blue" It!

    I've seen a lots of under hood blue and never ever, not even once, thought of sinister diesel.

    6an feed line too small?

    6AN will be fine to the CP's. The fitting on a stroker CP is 6AN. My line is 10AN from the 250 FASS, splitting to 2-6AN's to the pumps. Top pump is a big stroker, bottom is stock......125% injectors get plenty of fuel.

    Yes. It helps a lot to weigh only 4500lbs. The Industrial truck ran 8.0 at 5400.

    Industrial doesn't give a crap about Dimitri, he's been 86'ed - banned - from their property for years. He didn't run on Friday and I doubt seriously they'd care about his dyno numbers.

    10K Whip, made in Texas. Very well built. New ones are expensive.

    AC line material requirements.

    I've had no problems. It made things a whole lot easier.

    AC line material requirements.

    The a/c people I've talked with say that 134 molecules will permeate non-a/c rated hose after awhile. That you've gotta use a/c specific hose. I re-did mine with u-bend'em aluminum lines and e-z clip hose and fittings, all from Vintage Air in Texas. A/C lines are a hassle and it takes awhile...

    Single or twins

    I had a 475/stock LLY combo and it was a real nice setup, drove beautifully. Went to a 480/366 with cam, heads, injectors, dual CP3, etc.....it drove even better and was much more fun, no comparison.

    Machinest in Utah?

    Randy's one of the very best engine builders anywhere. Period. If he were a brain surgeon or a heart surgeon and I needed that kind of operation, he's the guy I'd want working on me.

    Daily Driving with CalTracs

    I wouldn't worry about Caltracs on the street. For 8yrs mine have been street driven every day and also plonking offroad. No elongated holes, no problems. They're backed off a bit for the street then tightened up for drags. Without them things get to jumping around badly and stuff breaks...

    Ultimate Callout Challenge watch

    A brand new engine.....and even the tranny still learning while on the dragstrip. I'd like to have seen him really nail a second pull and win that event, but he made a wise decision.

    Yeah, worse for you than it is for Salt Lake. And I live at almost 7000', feel it even more up here. For people at low altitude it's hard to imagine what a difference this makes.
