We made it to Des Moines. It was a huge thrash but we made it. My Dad picked up my new Finspeeds Thursday and we installed them Thursday night.
It was fun to see all the cars togther.
Sorry it has been a few month since I posted a JA 2.0 update.
This project has had a few more sorting out issue than most of my last projects. I think it was due to some old parts and some new and everyone including myself has gotten much busier.
So we finally have it up and running and running well.
The engine layout worked out great and the extra intercooler spacer gives the engine a little differnt look.
One issue we chased for a bit was a fuel delivery issue. On the chassis dyno it would drop fuel pressure. With the help of Carl Casanova at VaporWorx we sorted it out. I need to flow 2.3 gallons a min at 60 psi to support my power levels on E85. With 2 CTS-V pumps and a boost a pump we can do it. The car is putting down well good solid numbers now. Before everybody gets all what kind of power does it make— Let me say I think chassis dyno numbers are a bit of BS. I just wanted to verify the fuel system and the calibration without going to jail. I was doing 3rd and 4th gear WOT on the hiway and it was getting a bit sketchy.
I’ve got about 1400 miles on the car now and it runs strong. The E85 has been a fun experiment. I have a station 4 miles from my house that has it. It is cheap but I go through it fairly quickly.
Matt at Sled Ally made a cup holder / phone holder / Lat Long Sensor cover for the car.
We also added Gen 2 mirrors so I can have mirrors on both sides of the car. Much easier to drive.
