    I've noted a lot of people who need/use the Moran's run a 2nd injector anyway; guessing keeping it on a smaller single is easier to tune for idle and part throttle, then bring the big guns in?

    The motor is, but I haven't got it back in the car yet.. I will this week though... The first pan that came from jeff johnston had the wrong pan rail on it, so I had to send it back...

    good stuff man. how did you like the track prep? you woulda got that chevelle if it didn't spin :bang: I wish i wasn't out of town I would have loved to see this car in person. Keep it up. oh yeah I guess the announcer was wrong or did you switch to a smaller turbo. I thought you had a 114 he said 106.

    Track prep wasn't bad. I really liked the track! The announcer was wrong. It's a 114. I'll be back October 3rd!

    Been following since the beginning of the build. Love the car.

    One question...... Any reason why you guys insist on dry sump motors?

    Is this the same Camaro that was at Thunder Valley a couple weeks ago? Ran a 5.10's at 140+ if I'm not mistaken. Damn nice car!

    Yeah, that's the one.... It was blowing through the converter.. It went consistent 5-teens all night, and I varied the boost from 16 to 28 psi! lol.. I sent the converter off and had it changed up, so it should be good to go now... I'll be there Friday! :2thumbs:

    I only have two tubes.. And I'm pretty sure it's either 1" or 1 1/8" moly.. I'm thinking it's 1" though. The one on the drivers side is holding the radiator as well...
