My fueling is maxed out mate, need another pump and bigger injectors next and i will try and get some more power from pump fuel.

Grip is great, 2nd gear onwards im not getting any wheel spin.

Fuelab seem to offer some fantastic small pumps, that flow stloads of fuel.

They dont appear to be much bigger than a Bosch pump. Just a bit longer.

I'm almost considering dumping my 044's in favour of one.

That's proper fast Jamie, very impressive. I wish the Monaro had traction like that!

Thanks guys,

The turbo is a precision unit (modified Garrett) billet wheel 76mm, T4 frame.

Extra pump is easy, i have a phr triple pump hanger with two walbros in it, just bung another in it, then i have to upgrade injectors, running 1000cc now and will most likely upgrade to 1600cc, but for the time being im just going to enjoy it.

Jamie. Can't you turn your attention to putting your building skills to one of our motors again? There is a dearth of big horse power Holden V8 motors on here at the moment, (plenty of invisible ones) and we need inspiration.

While your motor is very impressive Mate, Japs are not my cup of tea.

I do fancy a VXR8 and may well get one soon, but i doubt i would tune it.

Stevie aside all the big power LS lumps round here seem to live in the workshp all the time, puts me off somewhat tbh.

They're predominantly FI. I'm looking forward to getting my NA 454, which is due from the States "anytime soon" as they say over there. I do hope that is going to be a bit more reliable.

Fire a couple of 044's in instead.

One of the beautys about them...is they will continue to flow at very high pressures. Whereas the Walbro really starts to struggle from about 70psi.

An 044 flows a pretty straight line to about 110psi, then it starts to tail off.

So you could easily up the pressure to achieve more flow.

Bosch's newish 1000cc EV14 based injector is very good....they also offer a 2000cc version. I'd say the weakest link at present though is the Walbros.

3 walbros fit in the tank with ease mate, im running 52psi static, 044 hits the bottom, just fits but you can only get one in there.

I am using the 1000cc bosch injectors now.
