Thanks for more pictures! :hug:
Is there a third CP3 in the valley?
Or will it use two that can be timed?
One thought I've had is what the effects of "timing" CP3's would be. It is difficult because they are 3 shot pumps. But can be done. Everytime an engine piston comes up on the firing stroke, you could have a CP3 piston doing the same, or 2 CP3 pistons doing the same with multiple pumps. Stock the pump goes at crankshaft speed so it pushes fuel out 3 times while the crankshaft fires 4 cylinders. So if you regear the CP3's so they spin 1/3 rd faster, every time an injector opens there is a high pressure wave coming from the pump(s) to keep the fuel pressure from dropping off.
This can't be done with a conventional belt, or at the stock pump location. Only a toothed belt or other timed mechanism would do. But it would be a very expensive experiment, with no guaranteed increase in power.

Man that is cool, but how is there no dirt in that shop? That almost pisses me off I can't keep my shop clean for 10 minutes let alone an entire 1 off build. Ahhh.. I just drooled on my keyboard
The Banks hot-rod shop is pretty dang slick. When I was given a tour, I must have left a drool trail all the way through the shop. Gale has all the good toys! 
nice new pics! I like that fuel line junction block and relocation of the fuel temp sensor too.

Thanks for awnsering my Q's! Cool, cool stuff!
Pat, your timed CP3 idea sounds great nosee how it could hurt? Since there gonna be Gilmer-belt drivin, they could be timed.

Very little at all. They'll check the engine over, cunch the numbers from the data logger, check fluids, add more diesel fuel to the cell, refill the nitrous bottles, and run it again.
Very cool looking headers, you running similiar twin turbo's that are on the S-10? Sure little dinky things. What kind of boost you running?
