Stock Fuel Rails, why they don’t keep up

that pump duty cycle makes me cringe... 😂

Need to get you to the drag strip! Going to take a heck of a tire for you tho. Maybe even a bias tire with the Stick shift.

The 17” MT Street R’s netted a 1.39 60 in the past, 1.4’s would put me in the high nines again now with the top end power she’s making now. Just need a good sticky track but I don’t have a trailer and I’ve broken enough shit on the street so that has led to some feathers growing of late lol
Someday.

Twin 295’s will give me a bit more to work with. At least I'm not maxed out on pump DC now and down 10 psi at the top. That was a good gain for 15 bucks and 1/2 hour of time.

I know this feeling.

Think someone could make a snout like this for the IHI? Seems it has adequate airflow before the rotors…

That’s some big ass cable 4/0 !

Well after seeing this last night



I ordered this this morning from HHP, should be here maybe by Friday if not early next week.



1000+ wheel here we come



Stay tuned for further adventures!!

So… what did you see?
My eyes aren’t great, but like the late great Ray Charles once said - “I can’t see shit!”

Look where the back of the pulley meets the snout, there’s supposed to be a gap there.

...how many of us just ran out to the shop to check our gaps?!?

I love the IHIs, but damn, the Whipples' just scream "Come get you some of this!" mean!

Been wanting to get a group buy together

Litens now include a washer to go behind the pulley if it's too close to the snout. Your supposed to install the pulley torque to spec and check with feeler gauges for 2mm I think it says. If it's less than 2mm, remove pulley add washer, retorque.

It had a gap with no washer, that disappeared pretty quick, then I put a2 mm spacer behind it, that disappeared quick. The spacers Lyttons gives you are very sloppy on the shaft and don’t Center worth a shit you could get spacers from McMaster Carr that fit the shaft tight they’re perfect in half millimeter 1 mm and 2 mm widths I have all three on the shelf, I’ll look up the McMaster part numbers and post it so guys can get some if needed. I may shimmed this one out one more time I contemplated that today LOL only because my new 295 fuel pumps should arrive tomorrow and I want to see how much headroom they give me on the same set up before moving ont to something else. I’ll do this crap yet one more time just for the sake of good data for us all. (Well at least those following the adventure lol)

Wonder what's causing yours to "walk"?

 

[Jack_Toepfer]

I assumed it was that gap… honestly, but didn’t recall what it should look like.
Get rid of the clutched pulley and let it rip…

To much power transfer through it is the only thing I can think. This pulley is on a whole new untouched except for porting factory built snout. Albeit these last 2 have been used pulleys I acquired here on the site and don’t know their history they both felt fine when first installed. One is on its way to Litens Canada now for evaluation, the one that slips in the forward direction. I have another 2.72 on yet another snout but that’s on my spare like new 2.4 blower that I’m saving for originality if needed someday. I may part with this massaged 2.4 blower after the Whipple proves itself out. This blower with a 2.85 and stock lower made 900 wheel on corn and ran happy for a long while that way. The blower looks and feels perfect, rotors look great for the speeds they have seen, be a GREAT blower for someone someday, billet plate, ported snout and all, battle proven at +10% over drive lol.

Mine is finally starting to make some noise that isn't typical after 2 summers spending most of the time on a 2.50 pulley. It doesn't seem to do it when cold and does it even on the 2.95. It probably should be pulled off and evaluated. I'm doing a chiller regardless so good timing but damn. Lol

My blower is not giving me any troubles or noises at all, it’s making great boost and sounds mean as hell when eating, only issue I’m having is with the clutched Litens pulleys, their clutch’s aren’t holding up, maybe McLeod makes a better one lol.
