15349, Finishing touches...need opinions and wisdom
Posted by JustOne, Feb-09-02 05:12 PM
Ok here is the break down. I am building a beast. I still want it to be a streetcar but not far from an all out racecar. I am in the process of obtaining anything and everything for this project. So far I have:

JE pistons 8.6:1 - .020 over
Eagle rods (may change to crower later)
Lightened and polished crank
EVERY gasket for the engine
Clutch Masters Stage IV
Vortech S-FMU
Unorthodox Cam Gears
Greddy FMIC
Turbo XS Type H-RFL BOV
Turbo XS Boost Controller
HRC Super 16G (may go Super 20g later)
Gauges galore
UDP

Still need:

High flow intank
High flow inline (hrc one has to go)
Injectors (clueless of where to go for this one, i.e. size and management)
S-AFC ???
MSD or Crane ???
Four more injectors and a AIC ???
Accel DFI ??? (Really don't want to because of the cost and tuning)

--I need suggestions on the above--

LSD (not looking forward to buying it and installing it)
Axles
Head work -- P and P
Cams

That’s all I can think of at the moment. If anyone sees anything that I could do w/o please point it out. The same goes for something I missed.

The only thing I am really worried about is the fuel management. I Like the idea of the additional injectors. It seems like it would be the cheapest way to go. I really don't want to have to spend anymore money on stuff like a DFI if I don't have to, considering all the body work that is going on at the same time.

Thanks

all I have to say is, once you get this beast up, take it to the track and lemme see your slip :)

man, i say just break down and order the hahn stage iv fuel system, its a really nice setup and its better to be safe than sorry... tuning it isnt really too bad, just takes some time and effort to learn the software throughly... Install is pretty simple of the DFI, kinda like install an alarm or anything electronic, just track down the wires and install....
