Paxton supercharger
I am nosin around again! I want to do something different?
I think I can afford the Paxton set-up, Carb and Methanol kit.
Why did you go Vortech vs Paxton or Procharger? I am always forgeting to turn my fuel pump on/off. Leaning out my motor is my last hurdle
An O2 sensor was suggested?
What about a fuel pressure switch that shuts down the ignition???
This would solve the problem of a fuel pump failure or bonehead mistake.
I drive the car on Road racing courses so I might not visually notice a problem denoted by the fuel pres. guage quick enough.
Got a brand new V-1, S-trim Vortech head unit, still in the box, off ebay for $1,000.00... way cheaper than any of the others, and money talks (to me, anyway) so I had the head unit, but had to then build a mounting plate and an idler pulley. The guy who sold me the head unit GAVE me a crank pulley that worked for me. I didn't have an intercooler, hence the Snowperformance Boost Cooler, which turned out to work really well.
I also bought an "MSD BoostMaster," spark controller, which contains an analog ignition module to replace your orange or chrome box, and provides 42,000 volts of juice to the plugs, and has a dash-mounted control knob for retarding the spark, either one, two, or three degrees (up to fifteen degrees) for every pound of boost the engine gets.
Blow thru carbs were not in abundance at that tim,e (2005) so I bought a 750 Holley double pumper from the Carb Shop in Ontario, CA, and had them modify it for blow-thru operation (a $900.00 bill)!!!
One of the most expensive things I had to do was a totally new half-inch fuel system. I don't trust electric fuel pumps, so I built TWO fuel systems which are separte from each other, but can be switched in about a minute of turning valves aand flipping a couple of pump switches.
I used rubber,
push-on (NHRA approved,) half-inch hoses and A-N fittings, and it wasn't cheap, but I won't get stranded because of a bad electric fuel pump. That elaborate fuel system cost me about a thousand dollars... no kidding. :(
I put pump gas in my original tank for steet use (and, to drive the 60-miles to the strip) and race gas in the fuel cell, and change over to the good stuff when I get to the drag strip.
Dunno if these pictures will load, but I'll try...
Hope this helps.
