    Not yet. We're gonna tune it on the track first, then I might get some dyno numbers out of it. I really want video of the dyno pegged. :2thumbs:

    It's from March.... They have pulleys designed to work with the electric water pump.

    Thanks for the compliments. 8)

    im also using the march unit with a csi pump works great. and as far as i can tell a mandrell can be added for a vacume pump.

    I only skimmed threw the 11 pgs of this thread, but the build looks damn good! I have one concern if you plan on driving this thing on the street... how small is that radiatior? Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but that looks like at most its 20"x20"x4"...

    I've already been driving it on the street.... The car's been running since about April. I live 15 miles outta town, and every time I take it out it's at least a 30 mile round trip. The car stays cool. The radiator measures 27x16, and it's a dual row. With the dual spal fans, it stays cool. 8)

    I had the boost controller configured wrong, and was having to get out of it at 100 feet, and then back in it.... It was straight blowing the tires off when the boost came in. The stupid thing went 9.80 @ 153, after losing boost, and having to re-build.... 19psi. :bah:

    The car did go 9.61 @ 143 a little over a month ago... That was on 13psi.

    Update...

    Saturday night the car went 9.0 @ 155.6 on 19psi. This was on radials launching at 6psi, and ramping to 19. Check the vid:
