I went from an 8 rib system to a 10 rib system.
Custom fabercated the entire assembly from the blower bracket to the piping...

Also re did my fuel bracket/ drive shaft loop.

Thanks to DLM for getting me my idler pullies.

Adam,

Your work on the driveshaft loop and all surrounding components are Exceptional! Great Job Man!!

The Motor also looks terrific with all of those great welds enroute to the intake manifold!

Congrats on your accomplishments!

Adam, are you cooling the fuel return to the tank, that would seem to make sense since it is hotter than the fuel in the tank ?
BTW......nice job, but are you using a chassis brace ?

Yes Joel...it cools off the fuel on the return side....so far it's worked awesome!!

Also I am using a custom cross brace I made...it's very strong, but I will be making another one out of aluminum when I get my tig welder back in. The one in the picture is made of steel...but the aluminum version should be 1/3 lighter...need to lose weight on the car..

Beautiful job, and you obviously spent alot of time and thought on the execution. Just go to your local car show hang out , pop the hood, stand back and listen to the oooos and ahhhs !

You should be extremely proud of the professional grade job you have accomplished.

Great work Adam, what parts were necessary to complete the fuel cooler? I saw a small oil cooler on Summit a while ago and thought that might work well in conjunction with cutting a hole in the pan and bolting on a small "scoop".

To answer the question above on the fuel cooler, it's a transmission cooler that had -6an fittings, I mounted a 5.5 spal pull fan on it. Works awesome!

What is the difference in th 2015a vs the 2025a weldon Pump? About 50 more gallons per hour...the 2035 is a racing pump and I head that is really not for the streets due to heat issues....the 2025 can support up to I thinkl 2000 HP easily...and no I am no where close to that HP. I hve 65lb injectors right now and that pump. I am not even using 50% of the full potenial...but good news if I do twin turbo down the road...I will have it availble.

The driveshaft loop and fuel bracket is awesome and very safe!

Thanks to all my Viper brotherens for the props! Imagine all the above 4 years ago...back then I was asking for advice on oil changes...LOL! Got to start somewhere right! :2tu:

Ab Realy nice job with your car, I remember your initial posts on the forum :)
Btw, the 2015 pump flow less but will allow you to go higher in fuel pressure, I use it in one of mine Vipers, need it to be able to run 110psi fuel pressure.

Ab that's just incredible! I can only imagine what it's like to drive. How does something like this compare to a Roe SC? About twice the HP increase?
