I am guessing that was not cheap and I really like watching this build as I am learning a bunch.

Glad you like it!

The cell turned out to be "reasonably priced". Funny thing is, Fuel Safe quoted me about half of what ATL did, and they are owned by the same company.

your suppose to keep that a secret.

Were the lift pump mounts a requested option ? I mean I assume they are not standard.

I looked up that VR2 pump - holy cow are you really planning on more than 2200hp in this thing or put another way why didn't you just use the VR1 ?

Thanks for the tip on Fuel Safe vs. ATL.

Another thought not directed at you but someone looking at this setup - I was using saddle tanks and I used the "passive" pump from a late model Vette to continuously pump fuel into the primary tank (same as OEM vette). You could use a similar strategy here in fact I think that's what the OEM's do in the last gen Camaro and Cadillacs (pump into a reservoir with a passive pump). I'm not sure how you would run two of them though, not sure they could work that way.

Looking good !

No, not standard! I went over what I was wanting to do with there engineer and this is what we came up with. IMSA, Nascar and Arca use a similar set of lift pumps as well with the EFI setups.

I am turbocharged, so I built an engine capable of a sustained 1800 HP for Bonneville and Mile events. It will NEVER see that on the street or road course/autoX. I can "adjust" the output between about 550-1100 for different venues. This is one of the reason my car is a bit of a pig. Aside from needing a beefier cage, the driveline has to handle the top power level, so much heavier components are needed for more than just a road course/autoX car.

WOW!

Anything new with this one?

Have you decided what transmission your going with given the max possible engine output and the targeted duties for the vehicle (track and street)?

Yes, I'm using a PPG sequential 6 speed.
