BMC Challenger R/T - New Engine Build ... a First in Many Ways!

Nice... can't wait to see it with the proper fuel getting to her.

 

very nice lisa! wow..... that dyno sure looks familiar!!! lol

 

4700 r.p.m.?

Dayum.....I hope the 682cc stage 2/3r injectors that we put in my car will get more r.p.m. range out of them with the KB BAP and stock fuel system!!

At least until you can engineer me a better fuel system!

When does my car go to Johan?

 

Yeah ... we didn't get too high on the RPM. Tuesday is reserved for yours to go, and yours will fair better with the bigger injectors and boost you're running, but you are going to need some pump/line improvement for sure.

Hit me up on AIM when you have a minute and we can discuss yours further, re: fuel.

 

While my car was down, I sent out my rear wheels to be widened from the stock 7.5" to 9.5" so I could run a 295 width tire. I finally got around to getting tires put on and went with Nitto 555 for now in 295/45 ZR 18. For anyone wondering, you lose your rear sway bar with 18" wheels this wide. But, my car is for straight line driving so I gladly trade a sway bar for some wide rear tires that will grip. Once I am ready to hit the 1/4 mile again I'll put the 305 MT ET Streets on. Here is a pic of the Nitto 555 for now, and pics to follow on the car once I get around to that.

 

Imagine that... which gas can?

 

Since my Challenger ran out of fuel around 4,700 RPM back in September, we have known we needed to increase the fuel flow quite a bit. We decided to upgrade injectors (to 80 lb Ford ones) and put in a -8 AN fuel line from the tank to the rail. We haven't been to the dyno since the upgrade to see what the power gains are and how much farther up the RPM band we can run now, but I'll be sure to post an update when we do! I plan to eventually upgrade the fuel pumps as well, but wanted to see what kind of gain the injectors and fuel line would yield since it's fairly inexpensive and also quick and easy to do.

Here are some pics of the install ... from back (fuel tank) to front (fuel rail):







We do have a list of parts needed for this upgrade, so if you would like to put in a -8 AN fuel line, we can help! I'll have a thread up with the details of the kit and a link in a bit.
