DC PERFORMANCE PROJECTS!

[Daniel Cragin/DC Performance Inc]

We have a couple special projects we are finishing up on next week and thought you might want to take a look!

Hugh Hoard's Twin Supercharged Viper is getting a custom fuel cell put in. We designed it to hold 28 gallons so he would not run dry during the Silver State race this year. He plans to run 200mph down the 14 mile straight (Good Luck Hugh!). He is going to need some Areo. We are also tuning it up for the drags in Vegas next weekend (I hope we finish in time!)

My wife said I might as well sleep at work (Ouch)!

Dave Butler's 1997 GTS Single Paxton SC is ready to tune on the Dyno. It's a stocker with 1.7 rocker arms. We are going to see what we can get out of it running 6psi.

Thanks, to everyone for your support during our first year at the new shop.

You guys are great!

Nice pics Dan. How long is it going to be before one of you guys develops some replacement elbows for the Paxton kit to replace the stock pieces? They're the only thing that keep the Paxton setup looking subpar compared to the custom jobs. I bet 9 out of 10 buyers would buy replacement metal elbows if they were a couple hundred bucks or less.

Ron,
What do you mean by replacement elbows?

Dan,

Thanks for sharing your projects with us.
Especially with the pictures. Very exciting.

Is this systems fuel pressure only regulated by the Aeromotive 13109? Why the FPR vs. a rising rate FMU?

That set up is pretty nice. What aftermarket fuel cell is that?

Keep us posted to the dyno numbers when you get them.

Dan, I was talking about the dryer hose looking hoses that connect to the throttle bodies. The custom tuners all use all metal (often polished), but then again I think their stuff is all one piece going back to the blower. It might not be feasible to replace the hoses since you'd have to somehow connect the replacement pieces to the existing Paxton intercooler/tubing.

Thanks for the interest,

The supercharger elbows allow the system to flex independently
of the engine. I may look into some nicer silicone hoses.

We are not using a FMU on Hugh's car, prefering to control fuel by varying the pulse width not fuel pressure.
