in a week or two we should have a chart with the dual fuel change over to race fuel and then do another where we change from pump to meth. should be some neat info. looking at that chart we might need to spin it a little higher

the phased fuel is going to be easy and work well once we get that fixed.

just to have some fun and to test out the rest of our 2nd fuel system we hooked up the injector harness from our primary fuel system to our 2nd fuel system and made a few runs. this means we were running off of only the 8 injectors that are higher up in the runner and we were running off of the big fuel system and on race gas. even though the car will never idle on these injectors it still idled pretty good and was easy to tune.

numbers... 508rwhp(mustang) at 10psi, no intercooler, 214deg peek iats. this was on race gas. we plan on running on meth, not race gas. meth should be good for AT LEAST 50rwhp more at the same boost level. at 10psi i think we are headed for 560+rwhp.

just for refrence the fairmont with an intercooled 5.3/mp70 and the same cam as we are running now was at 458rwhp@10psi on the same dyno. different tranny and converter but it is fun just to compare.

very fun day and thanks to tom at c@s

Methanal might be worth more than 50RWHP once you turn the boost up. I have seen supercharged cars pick up a full second from gas to alcohol. What year 6.0L is that?

the engine is suppose to be an 01 but who knows.

nothing new to report. got sidetracked on some other stuff. the car is ready to go back to the dyno and try the duel fuel and then duel fuel meth but now it is blocked in the garage. i have only had 1/3 of my floor poured since last year and now i have the other 2/3's ready to pour but they are not coming to do it till next weekend so the car is blocked in by the rebar and floor heating pipes.

Cool, sounds fun man... I can't wait to tackle a project like that once I finally settle down in some nice land.
