Sounds sweet! Thats a clean redfire!

 

[KlugSS]

I have been plugging away at it lately.

Sucking out the the coolant

Didn't realize the stock fuel system was so tiny.

Most of these will be deleted besides the dump.

With the bolt ons and 2.76 pulley i could only muster a 12.02 with a 1.9 60ft.
The last past that i would have pulled a 11 second run my clutch went out and couldn't finish the run.

By the way, this is my first ford i have ever had.
So i am pretty new to all of this.

[03 Indy Cobra]

Nice Redfire.:thumbsup:

 

[KlugSS]

Thanks guys!



Pump location idea. In the evap canister hanger.

Just curious why would you use a -10 feed and return?? -8 feed and -6 return is good to like 1200+rwhp lol. That is total over kill. I would also add a check valve in the feed line for when you shut the car off and when you're trying to start it with that big of a line.

 

[KlugSS]

Couple reasons.
Only want to do it once, I might end up trying e98 down the road. Try and keep the fuel as cool as possible. And easiest on the pump and the entire system. Free flowing.

To me a 6 return on a 4303 is way to small.

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

hmm interesting.. Either way nice build man. Both ways will work I was just curious though :beer:

 

[ugotbit03]

Cool.

The way I understand it is that the return line should be as large if not larger than the feed line. 95% of the time on the street these huge pumps they are just pumping fuel back to the tank.

I doubt you will have issues.

L&M Engines has a cool fuel line calculator on their web site.

 

[KlugSS]

Hopefully i am not to hung over tomorrow and start running the fuel lines up front and get the fuel pump mounted with the filters.

 

[KlugSS]

Does anyone know if i have to keep this at all. I am going to remove it since i am no longer using evap.

Vacuum line delete. Now i only have line for hvac, boost gauge, and fps.
SOOO much cleaners

Cleaned up all the lines.

Wanted to hide the FPR. I think it looks hideous with all the fittings and lines in the engine bay.

I hate these threads... they make me want to spend money! Damn it!

Awesome build, looking forward to the numbers.

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Looks good man!! While your there I would start cleaning the dirt in the engine bay, it might be the prime time to. :beer:

Thanks man. I need to start cleaning, it's not AS dirty as the pictures are making it seem. But it could use it.

i have talked to MULTIPLE builders of high horsepower setups, and if you run E85 or higher, then a -10 return is normal. Fuel pumps failing, fail because -8, -6 line is TOO SMALL and too hard on the pump.
