I have been checking around for good prices on v-band clamps and found a guy advertising on Yellobullet. The website is www.theboostdepot.com , his Yellobullet add states he will give a discount for quantity orders but even his normal prices are $30.00 cheaper than Burns Stainless. My brother is getting ready to order some for a customers car that is getting a F2 and a air to air intercooler.

   Thanks that seems like a lot better price than we've seen and we could use at least 3. We have to take the blower tubes off in order to remove the right side valve cover and those v clamps would make it a lot faster plus hold better.

Hey Troy,
At what stage is the car in now.
Do you run it at El Mirage?

Rob, yes we do run at El Mirage.  Been running El Mirage and Bonneville since 1989, mostly through the late 90's with a little break from 2003-06.  Here are a few videos of the car.

This is our best dyno run on mechanical fuel injection.  2000 HP and 1900 ft lbs.  This was 28 1/2 lbs boost at 6000 rpms.

This one is after we installed our FAST unit.  We got 32 lbs boost at 6800 rpms and figured it to be 2300 hp.

This is El Mirage in November 08.  I got loose on a not so good track, shute did not deploy but I did not spin out.

Same run just an in car video.

This was our last time out at El Mirage and the track was good to about half track and after that was loose.  As I shift into high gear I made the mistake of not lifting the throttle with an air shift transmision and get loose but save it.  I was trying to go over 200 so I could get into the 200 mph line.  We have held a AA record in BGALT at 229 since 1990.

We will be there!!  But the car will not.  :cry:  We have duty so its required.  We just took apart the top end and the number three chamber needs a little work and all the valves need to be replaced and upgraded.  The pistons look ok, but we need to take those out today and inspect them a little closer and we want to look at the cylinder walls and rod bearings.  The oil looks good with no shinny things floating in it.   :cheers:  Not sure if we would run El Mirage in November if we were ready, the track just isn't that good.  Maybe we will here different after todays meet but I doubt it.  We always try to run May and November so if your there next May we should be there.   :-D :-D

Now that I am home and have time to think about it, Stan Beck guided me away from everyone I wanted to see.

He had me walking all over to try to get him a ride on the mobile davenport.

At least, I didn't get involved with the back door.

We are looking into using a Racepack system to monitor EGT and a few other parameters.  Are there any other systems out there that would work in similar capabilities?

Yes.........





Okay, the Racepack is one of the best systems out there but being that you are already using a FAST EFI system they also now make a 8 channel EGT adpt. for their system. No point in having more software and data capacity than you need at least from a $$ stand point. A different unit can cost a grand or more, the FAST will only add hundreds to your system imo.

The only problem with adding more to the fast unit is, the more we add the less time we have to record.  That's why we were looking into a different unit. :cheers:

Troy,

http://www.motorsportsinnovations.com/

Check out the innovate DL-32. It records up to 32 channels and about 4 hours of data with a 2gb
sd card.This is what we run but are using two O2 sensors.
I think you can piggly back in with the FAST stuff also.
Call them and talk to Greg

Hope this helps
