Stan back- I know of the galant that holds the record in my class, and have actually talked to the mech./builder of the car but not the owner/driver. The mech. is a very nice guy and really knows what he is doing.
Rex- the mechanical pump I will be running is not just some mech. pump but is a race pump as ddahlgren is speaking of and they make more than enough flow at lowwer rpm than is needed to run the car, he also touched on one of the reasons I want to use it is if it dies the car dies and doesn't nuke the motor.
As for the injectors, the turbo on the car at the maxton race earlier this year would max them out with the current fuel pump setup. The car has already made 930 hp at all 4 wheels very easily, actually so easily I would run at this level at b-ville without thinking twice about it. With the boost cranked on this turbo it should put down at least 1050-1100 awhp which is approx 1200 crank hp.
P.S. at maxton the car was at only about 800 awhp and the pass was no good due to me having to get out of the gas for 2.25 seconds at 200 mph in fifth gear which slowwed the car down to 185 mph and then I reaccellerated up to 210 mph, so she has a bit left in her.
ddahlgren-I am planning to run either the waterman or areomotive pump and I was going to run the large aeromotive rergulator but if you rec. the kinsler I will try that one.
I have a question for you as I know you have alot of experiance, I am doing a drysump set-up and would like to drive the fuel pump off the end of the oil pump but I have heard of people having trouble with the belt drive with it like this, I would like to know if you have seen this alot or maybe not at all, oh ya it will only be a 3 stage pump-1 supply and 2 scavenge.
Oh and about the aluminium rods, I have gone that route this year to help the rod bearings last a little longer also another reason for the dry sump. It seems to have helped quite a bit. Previosly have reved it to 10,000 rpm but this year it will be moved up to 11,000 rpm for drag racing and standing mile races at b-ville I will gear it as tall as possible but will still be at least 9,500 rpm.
I have to run to work,hopefully we can talk more later.
