Here ya go bud. It's gonna be a killer car.

Thanks that car is awesome!!

Oh and this is my 2500th post and it's in BMFFTW :trophy-1302:

You joined almost 4 years after me and yer still 700+ posts behind.

Slacker.

:hello:




Regarding BMF, it will transmogrify... ;)

On these very pages.

This year.

Pretty sure.


:D

I'll pick up the pace sir !! :RunninDog:

Yes boy's the arm is centered, however the rear end is offset. If you really study the pics, they are two different housings. Believe me, I tripped on it too.:sieg: Both links are different lengths. They are installed at 30 degrees, even though it's a mind f#*%.:sieg: The arm runs center in sub and, center to body. Used multiple points to find the sweet spot. Shock angle 15, pinion angle neg 2, wheelbase 108.25, panhard bar level, I think we are good, we can adjust from here.:beathorse

Rob the Torino guy had asked me to post about my new ATL fuel cell setup since he screwed up on his order and got the wrong one for his usage. :hello:

I had fortunately ordered mine through a local dealer in the next town over who corrected me and advised me on the proper setup to get (Thanks again Steven).

It's the ATL 22 gallon Sports Cell with steel can, hard molded rubber bladder, -10 pickup, -8 return and -6 cent. The key is the surge tank with 3 trap doors that collect the fuel in the center-rear of the bladder inside the foam cut out area as you see below. Pretty cool little setup. This foam is good to handle E85 as well.

Oh, and my photos are slightly better than Rob's too, so uh, I got that goin for me. (Skip, that's for you).

And since Sieg told me to swap my other lense on my Canon Rebel, the pics are a little better.. I think.

That there is one purdy cell. Really liking the direction of BMFII. :thumbsup:

That's Better Then Live Porn

Nice system and some good lookin pics there DG. :thumbsup:

I always gravitate towards a bladder system that's been perfected. :unibrow:

Good move on the ATL. I feel more comfortable having two pick ups as opposed to the one in the Fuel Safe......although....these MFr's are heavy. Thinking about selling mine and going with the ATL aluminum.

22 gallons of e85...If pro-touring was a drinking game, BMF = :trophy-1302:

I might have to grab one of those trap door thingamaboxes too.

That there is a work of art. Nice pickup Dave!

What the Skipper said. Looking good Dave!

Good thing is for gas vs oil eh? :idea:

I am posting this so whoever decides to run a cell like this in their car may learn this like I did before they purchase.

You are making the same mistake on that thinking that Rob made and I was about to make. It may seem counterintuitive, but if you are running a single fuel pump the single surge tank and pickup in the rear-center is the recipe for road racing. Ken @ I/O Port Racing in Lafayette explained this to me and encouraged me to call ATL for their guidance. I did, and the tech there said the exact same thing.

The dual pickups in the corners are fine if you want to run dual external fuel pumps but I don't see many of us around here doing that. If you run the duals with one pump and a Y-manifold as Rob and I were planning on doing, I was advised by both I/O Port and ATL that this way would cause you to suck air on the opposite side of a corner. Never a good thing.

I am not playing the weight game yet so I went with the steel can. The alum can in silver finish looks pretty cool though.

Well the car would still likely lose to Richie. :king:

The surge tanks seems to be the ticket for what we do. It can be had for about $200.

My cell has been sitting at my brother-n-laws so I haven't really looked at it. My thinking is that the pickups are y'ed in the tank and I will only be pumping from one fitting at the top of the tank.......:headscratch:
Although I can see how that would be a problem with a 22 gallon tank.....I dont need that much fuel in the car at any one given time so I'm running an 8 gallon to save weight.......I think I should be fine.

Sweet parts there DG!!



I like the advice about the single pick up and the surge can --- that's good stuff to know!


But all this talk about full bladders.... well.... I'll be right back!



:RunninDog:

The Muttstang uses between 9 and 10 gallons in a 20 minute session there bucko!!!



Either you need some more motor.... or you may be getting pushed/towed in a lot????????????

That thing is a pig......I only use 5 :mock:

Your right, it does have two outlets.....

Fords are like that.....

That's throtte control!! Smooth on smooth off ;)

Good stuff going on Dave, that ATL fuel cell is killer.

Full throttle occasionally would alleviate that excellent laps per gallon issue you seem to be having.

Yup. Either dual fuel pumps for you or...

Thanks Corey. Good to see you around. :hello:

Maybe a booster seat would allow full throttle depression?

Can We Please Get A Moderator To Lock This Thread Asap!! Thank You

I agree with Greg, what is that a drag car? I know mine would easily burn through 8 gallons at VIR in a 30 minute session.

Well, not that we should start a fuel mileage debate here on Dave's thread but do the math. IIRC T-Hill is about 2.5 miles long. My sessions are typically 20-25 minutes long with a minimum of 45 cars on the track. My fastest lap time is 2:04.9 and I'd have to see what the average lap times are but would bet by the time I filter through traffic each lap the average may be 2:10?(and thats being generous) Dont know right now.... but 25 minutes divided by 2:10 gives you.....hell I dont know....dont have a calculator nor time right now but lets say 10 laps which is approximately 25 miles. With 5 gallons I'm getting about 5 miles per gallon plus a couple of extra gallons in the tank.
Bottom line, after each session I'm putting one 5 gallon jug in the car.

LS engines get great gas milage!!! :drama:

:smiley_smack:


:mock:

I was just bustin your balls, I'm a little jealous. My AMX ended up with a 22 gallon cell (you can guarantee it will never have a full tank) due to the really unique shape it needed to be, it was the only off the shelf piece I could find. Most of the events Howell puts on required a cruise, some of which were really long with no fuel near by. I think you'd have to run Jerry cans like on a Jeep.LOL

Yeah ya did, lol. I thought you were humpin' on Gregs leg. :lol:

All kidding aside, I was thinking about why Weld was using so much gas and then remembered he runs with the Shelby club. I dont think they run more than 25 cars on the track at a time which gives him a wide open field and to add to that pretty sure he's spinnimng that thing close to 8 grand.

Plus all the extra gas it takes GW to get back on the track from the infield :headspin: !!! Jerdog got jokes!!:hello:

Is there a car being built in this thread somewhere???
