    How far from home do you go, - with that little fuelcell..???


    Sorry I should of said what that was for. That tank is a 5gal Water/meth tank. Would do ok as a gas tank for a Toyota Prius though.

    I dont know what to say anymore or what to ask... Id have a book of questions lol!

    Well heres some simple ones.

    What kind of Gauges (Yes Autometer Cobalt) do you have in sense of... MPH/RPM/Oil so on... I noticed one with flames on it but it isnt lit up...

    You have 15x15 rear tires on what size wheel, whats the offset?

    Also

    What size wheel is in the front and what size tire on that one and offset?

    Dana 60 I assume considering 1000  :scared: horsepower?

    50 miles cruise and out of gas yes?

    Hi. The unlit one is the digital pro shift light - level2, MPH, Tach, oil pressure, boost,fuel, volts, water temp.

    Rear tire  is 29"x15x15 and wheel is 15x12 Would need to check receipt from AR for offsets but rear shortened 6".
    Front tire is 26x15x10 and wheel is 15x8

    Yes Dana 60, suregrip and 37 spline axles.

    With GV on at 65mph  @ 2250rpm I'm getting 11 mpg.

    LOTS of attention to detail on this one - the more you look the more you spot the little stuff which separates the great builds from the good ones. Congrats!  :cheers:

    Do you have thread on the build process?

    Its not right to envy but seriously... you dont make it easy   :grinno:

    You said its a water/meth tank, how does it work... mixes water with methane? and does that go in the engine where petrol goes through fuel line (through carburettors in ur case fuel injectors) ?

    How long does the meth tank last (as long as your fuel tank or much more?) And whats it cost to refill with methane, as much as fuel or quite cheap or much more?

    I checked out the level 1-3 system of your shift light gauge.

    Does level 1 flash when you pass the RPM point or thats a level 2 only feature?

    I can see why you didnt go with lvl 3, I dont see who would sit there recording it if its a street car.

    The battery is on the left side while meth tank is right side of boot yeah?

    Last: The 3 black things in boot that have this interesting V shape on them, what are they?

    What size engine in CI?

    Do you have any idea howmuch HP that would have without the supercharger?

    Thanks G-man.

    50/50 mix of distilled/deionized water and methanol. Works on a pressure switch set to 3 psi and injects through a nozzle by the air filter on a downward angle so if there is a problem it would just drain out the filter. You never see boost driving normally so I'm guessing 20 tanks of fuel before refilling the meth tank. About $5 gal.

    Pretty sure its just the Level 2.

    Yes, battery left and tank right.

    Those are the Kicker amps.

    Its a Keith Black block - 588ci.

    Probably about 800hp  without the SC.

    Don't mind answering some of your q's.

    Cam is pretty mild (Billet solid lifter cam duration 283/283 lobe separation 112 duration at .050” 252/252  valve lift intake .612” exhaust .601”)

    Competition TF727 with manual valve body (drive it like a manual but no clutch) I use a B&M Black diamond shifter.

    6 fwd gears. 3.9 and 3.04 with overdrive on (GV)

    Not sure on Carb. F1R Procharger rated to 2000 CFM.

    Gearvendors (GV) gives you an over drive in every gear by using a foot switch. I usually keep it off around town but is nice on the highway as brings the rpm's down.
