The problem was that I had a special tank made for this car, for both FI and carb. That problem is being fixed by bending the pickup to the middle of the tank and putting a GM fuel sock on it. The hydroboost is getting some backpressure and is hitting the brakes all by itself. I guess if you have 2-3 pounds of back pressure it will deploy the brakes. The new power steering reservoir tank is being over nighted from Texas to be installed tomorrow to hopefully correct the problem. The new hat, the J&S and the water injection is working nicely, creating a lot more power. It will go off to dyno next week for numbers, and they went up 7 jet sizes on the secondaries then what we had last time, so it’s getting a lot more volume. The new wheels will be here in 2 weeks. The car should be at the Good guys show this weekend if it doesn’t rain.
