The carby hat is an EV hat which I won through a competition run by Superior Airflow in the states, the regulator is a Aeromotive 13202 (boost referenced and drops EFI pressure to carby pressure), the pump is a Bosch 044, and i've got the surge tank to keep fuel up to the EFI pump.

The plan is to use my existing Holley blue to supply fuel to the surge tank, run the 044 to supply fuel up to the Aeromotive reg, and run a return line back to the tank. As you would know, the reg will see any boost I make and raise the fuel pressure correspondingly. I'm only after around 400-450hp at the flywheel which should be fairly easy with a Hemi six running up to 18psi or so. I already see 13psi on a regular basis in the draw thru configuration but the blow through will allow me to use an intercooler as well.

Anyway, that's enough Hijacking from me. Keep us up to date with the project Steve, I'd love to run something on you car in the magazine. When the completion date?

DON"T BUY THE BARRY GRANT ring me on 073 284 1925

Thanks Steve

they don't work real good, have try'd one in the states a couple of weeks ago and there terrible, however there's several really good ones on the market, maybe they might be able to get you one of those in instead?

Well I haven't heard any bad reports from the US at the moment. They are still pretty new to the marketplace, one guy on the turbomustang.com site seems to be pretty happy with it so far.

For the price I'm willing to at least give it a go, worst thing that can happen is i'll have a nice shiny mighty demon for one of my NA engines.

So what do you mean you tried one a couple of weeks ago? You were over there? C'mon, spill the beans a little.

lookin good steve, i can picture this now... sideways drifting around Qld Raceway at Powercruize, at full noise and a gut full of boost.
Turbomustangs.com is a top site for info on blow-thrus :eclipsee_
blownvn would agree.

Ya i'm over there every 8 to 10 weeks, got back 2 weeks ago. I hope you have no probs with that unit i have my fingers crossed for you mate.
We were over there also doing research on the blow through setups etc finds all the pros and cons
