I might add to the AIT / EGT:

The reason I do not have an EGT is because I had the AEM Wideband first.

 

A question for you superheads out there on this forum.... "WHERE CAN I GET ONE". Pettit tell me they have none for sale and I really don't want to go Blitz or turbo. Also the Hymee looks great but a tad to expensive for me. Honestly, I've owned a few turbo cars and some how they don't like me.... hahaha.

Sorry dude, unless you go pro-charger, your kinda SOL.

 

That's how I feel. Ive owned 2 myself. I've talked to Cam Jr about it. Since the SC that was on the kit isn't being produced anymore it makes it a little more difficult to put another kit together. I'm not saying its impossible but its going to take a little more work to get the job done. We've talked about other options with another SC that will work. Its more expensive for one and with the kits that have been sold the profit margin wasn't great. There's still a chance that it can be done though. One thing would be the price would need to go up on the kit to make it worth doing for Pettit, also he would need a guarantee that if he does another run he's not going to be sitting on a bunch of money invested by having kits sitting on the shelf. That can be done though by deposits, I'd say on 5 to 10 kits at a time to justify and help cover the work and parts needed to complete the kits. If your still interested I'm down to help him do what needs to be done to get the ball rolling. My idea would be starting a thread after I talk to him more about it for people that are willing to do this. It wouldn't be for any discussion, it would a thread that you go to and say yes I'm interested and yes I have my deposit ready, I want a blower kit.

 

I think there would actually be a good bit of interest in this

 

Guys, has anyone tapped into the superchargers inlet and measured its vacuum at WOT?
Are there restrictions on the intake side?
What say Moon?

 

I just left TK after a short trip a few days ago. 2nd best chow in theatre. French toast is awesome.

 

Still doesn't beat the air force chow in Manas, damn flyboys.

 

This is what I got from Cam in an email........

"The super charger we were using (Lysholm MX417) has bin discontinued however we are working with PSE Superchargers to modify an old style MX 417 to fit our kit. We will post on the web site as soon as we find out weather the new charger will work. In the mean time if you can find a used MX 417 with a slim back plate we will sell you the rest of the kit"

SO....... I searched high and low for an MX417... and no go.

IF THERE IS ANYONE SELLING OF THEIR KIT OR KNOWS OF ANY ONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

work in progress

 

looks sweet OD - good work !

 

Looking clean and shiny OD

 

Thanks guys!
the hose candy has worked out well.
the coils are the msd 8247 with custom leads and custom mount. i had to turn them some because they are so dang big.
The catch can is a converted aeromotive fuel filter and it is to vacuum while on the street.
I do wish I could get a better battery box though.
next is to get a better brake vacuum hose.alternator pulley etc. Just playing.
the aw cooler pump is now mounted next to the drivers side oil cooler. It will never lose prime again

 

It looks like christmas in there Denny. SHINY THINGS

 

at least for a while

 

Thanks guys for the info...... Yes I would say cost of SC over at TC is not viable. I don't see myself paying for one at any price just to have it on my ride. Back to square one on the FI options.

 

much cleaner than the last time I saw it Denny
I need to find a higher place to mount my pump too...

 

I am currently eating the best food in theatre. The enchiladas I had last night were better than half the mexican joints in the states.

The food is so ridiculously good, I could go on and on about it.

 

I really enjoyed the German DFAC in Mazar-i-Sharif. They manage to put pork and bacon into every dish

 

mmmmm bacon

 

lol that was funny Hoss.

Hey silverstreak--its not hard to do--come over one w/e and we could get it done.

 

may take you up on that OD...the fan controller still puzzles me on paper lol
short term list is:
1) flex-a-lite variable fan speed controller w/ rad probe (still not positive on which one...summit has 2 different ones all with radiator probe)
2) BHR kit - with the new Yukon coils Charles assures me it will work fine for FI
3) new mounting spot for the pump so it doesnt lose prime
4) new tires and you know how funny I am about that

 

come on then! We can hook the fan controller up at the same time. Summit racing is right up the road.

 

thanks man
I'll holler at you when I get a hold of the parts
hopefully it will all work out before March
hoping to get her on RA at the NASA event 9-11
