tjcannon Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Here's my setup... 81 280ZX 350 small block .030 over Vortec heads w/ 2.02/1.60 valves & radiusing Rams horn manifolds Air gap intake Holley 670 Street Avenger T5 transmission Stock fuel pump So 4 days ago I raced a RX8 and was dead even with him from about 30-70 or so. My car kinda felt like it was losing all power after about 3000 rpm's or so. 2 days ago I bought a Holley Blue electric fuel pump. Yesterday I installed it and moved my pressure regulator from over the exhaust manifold to the inside of the passenger fender at the firewall. I was driving around and saw a C6 'vette pulling onto the highway so I thought "What the hell? Why not get my *** handed to me by such a sweet car?" So I pull up beside him and gun it a little, and we go from about 70 to 130ish and... by the end of it his nose was at my window!? What have I done!? It's amazing how one little thing can make such a HUGE difference. She's definitely still a work in progress, but I just had to tell everyone about my first C6 race. Haha.

Twizted Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Yea, those are great feelings. That's unfortunately my way of tuning. I do research to make sure it's feasible then try it and test. It's amazing the untapped potential you can unleash by the little things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
