Morris,

I believe the motor is stock with headers and custom tune. He just bumped the boost a couple pounds or so with a re-tune from Dave Mikels. Car has a T56 6 speed and (I believe) 3.70 gears. It ran very well at stock boost (I got to drive it) but Charley said it's noticeably better and faster with the pulley swap and re-tune.

Can run with E67 production controller as well with fixed pressure.
help! I have a '67 Nova in the shop with an LS9, no computer, harness or tank. Hector at Rick's is selling me a tank with a CTS-V pump. Is this the right set-up? who do I goto for the harness and computer? Dave would you be interested in building a harness and computer?- Chris

Hey Chris - Travis 'Daytonayellaz' is building harnesses and selling them to guys over on the other site. He has two harnesses for the LS9 being built right now. You can PM here or there.

Travis is a great guy....honest and knows LS very well.

LS9 is just plan badass IMO

I would love to put one in a shop car!!

Very interesting discussion. Can any of you veterans disclose the particulars? What kind of pump, what pressures? What size injectors?

I've got a couple CTS-V pumps around... would that work?

defo going to run a LS9 in nighthawk!!

Gonna be even harder here in the UK with lack of knowledge but nothing about my project is going to be easy!

Jackass runs full ZR1 fuel system (3-phase DC pump with FSCM integrated with ECM - fuel pressure from 250-600 kPa feeding 6.2 g/sec injectors). Expensive, but works very well feeding ~700 HP Supercharged.

Red Devil runs a CTS-V fuel pump assembly (2009+) with a Kenne Bell Boost-a-Pump and 9.2 g/sec injectors with a fixed 450 kPa fuel pressure. Great system feeding 780 HP Supercharged.

Mayem runs dual ZL1 fuel pump assemblies with Vaporworks fuel pump control (full PWM on single pump till under boost then dual pump PWM control to keep 450 kPa rail pressure with 11.5 g/sec injectors). Even better system feeding 880 HP Supercharged.

Keep in mind with supercharged applications injector has to be sized to handle expected engine output + blower drive power and operate at a lower delta-P across injector.

Rick's Tanks and Vaporworks offer complete systems now (tank, fuel modules, etc).

http://www.rickstanks.com/vaporworks-tanks.php

http://www.kennebell.net/KBWebsite/A...boostapump.htm

Do NOT skimp on fuel system for bigger power engines! Issue is not just peak HP fuel delivery, but idle and low-flow situations without excessive heat generation. PWM control of fuel pump(s) is best to meet dynamic range required - and Vaporworks system (combined with Rick's tanks) works fantastic.

Brian Thomson (http://www.thomsonautomotive.com/) has worked with many customers overseas for complete turn-key packages for many different LS engine packages.

Can't go wrong with an LS9.

Thanks Dave! Been on the phone with Hector at Rick's and Carl at Vaporworx. Dual CTS-V pumps, Hobbes switch, custom PWM controller, etc. are all now in the works.

Not sure what an 11.5g/sec injector is... just convert to lbs / hour? Multiply by 7.94; so 11.5 g/sec = 91 lb injector?

450 kPa / 6.89 kPa/psi = 65 psi?

Conversions look correct.

I've had great results using 450-500 kPa with modern Bosch or Siemens DEKA injectors. They both function well at pressures up to 700 kPa, but don't want to run that pressure sustained.

The 11.5 g/sec were sized with the plan of trying E85, so little oversized for gas, but low pulse-width control wasn't an issue.

You've got the right guys engaged for your fuel system - you'll be happy with results.
