So what is your build up?

Well guys, Im just wonderin if we all make power the same way or if we all have different ways of making power. In other words, what is your build up.

Mine is...

TE-63 turbo with .63 housing
MSD 50# per hour injectors
RJC power plate
ATR 3"downpipe with turbonetics deltagate
ACCUFAB fuel pressure regulator
SMC dual nozzle alcohol injection
Jimmie mundline 200-r4 tranny
mike leict extender extreme chip
MAF Translator plus with a LS1 MAF


stock engine,crank,pistons,heads rear-end.

HyPSI87,

Your Power Formula is appreciated. Here's mine:

*Stock Turbo
*Spearco (now Turbonetics) 2-230 Liquid Intercooler (installed this past Labor Day weekend)
*Fully instrumented real time intercooler I/O temperature readings and AF on A-Pillar
*Custom dashboard (GNX-type) with all VDO gauges, including RPM and Boost
*Lucas/Tomco 38 #/hr. Injectors
*Walbro pusher (don't remember the model, but largest available for GN fuel tank)
*Alky Control's Progressive Alcohol kit (on order and will be installed within 2-weeks)
*ATR (ARRGH!) headers and Down pipe (will be replaced shortly with Poston's). ATR’s crack and crack and crack!
*"ATR" (not made by them) Beefed rear stabilizer bar – totally mitigates wheel hop!
*ATR 7th Injector (that's coming off with the installation of the Alky kit).
*Pit Bull Street PROM (this is coming off with the installation of the Alky kit too, in favor of the chip they recommend - more on that later)
*SSM "Instant Center" correcting lower trailing arms (will be installed with the Alky kit) – The GN’s stock instant center is incredibly good, but a couple of degrees improvement won’t hurt…
*Running "stock" tires (sticky, but street tires)

Here's what we have for performance:

1). Without the Alky kit (and the revisions pending that installation), 1.63 60' at 12.4 ET with 103 something MPH in quarter – I know I have the 60’ and ET correct, but the end speed is foggy – I lost the slip on that run. That run was one single officially recorded pass as a grudge race I ran in 2003 - and that was obviously prior to the liquid intercooler installation. My accelerometer records 0-60 MPH in 4.52 seconds (same pre-alky kit, equipment). Shame on me, I haven’t yet recorded the new numbers with the liquid intercooler installed – probably won’t change much for 0-60; it will improve the ¼ mile. Yep, the tires remain “stock” and will for the following (and probably “for keeps”)…

HyPSI87,

Hum... I accidentally cut off the last part of my previous note so you have no idea what "for the following (and probably “for keeps”)… means. Here's what I cut off:

I’ll post new information following 11/12/04 - All new installations and modifications (specified above) will have been completed for CA Speedway, private rental of NRHA sanctioned strip.

Wish me luck.

Best Regards,

Chuck
