Hopefully the only thing holding it back now will be the Charger so we will see what we can get out of the 122

Fantastic. I though nobody had any money I wonder if Monkfish have any jobs going
Lets just get this rubbish winter lark out the way then the fun will begin

Thinking about heads for mine.

Not sure a cheap heads/cam/forged/SC package will be better than a TT though but could be quite good.

Not just one at that.

My one question is over the need for 2 fuel pumps?

Monkfish removed my additional pump & got an improvement on power & delivery over the twin fuel pump set up

[madmunky]

Not 100% sure Im sure roger will clear it up but I believe its cause one pump wont be strong enough for the new larger injectors.

[V8HSV]

Well not trying to stir things up but it was Roger that removed mine

[TTLS1]

a single bosch 044 is good for 500 odd rwhp, but when it comes to a lean-out under boost your better to be safer than sorry, 2 044's with a good surge tank and your good for 1000rwhp!.

[monkfish1]

Madmunkeys car will be developing a fair bit more power than yours Will. Basically, the fuel system will support x amount of fuel and hence power. Once you exceed that then clearly you need to make provision to overcome this.

In Wills case the system could deal with the demand. On Madmunkeys car it wont. Simple as that really. I would only fit additional equipment to a car if its really needed.

The twin system will be totally different from that fitted to Wills car.

Hope that makes sense.

[anonymous-user]

that sounds a similar build to mine, should be very impressive. You should get some decent heads though to make the most of it IMHO.

Just the two
I know fuel pumps and swirl pots etc are not usually big talking points or sexy items, but cast you eye over the setup in this Monaro.
You are going to have to burn some fuel to lean them out.

Its a bit slow to load but it’s worth it, if you like shiny things.

Thats a crazy fuel system with 4 bosch pumps! Certainly some artistic flair gone into that. Not sure i would want that lot buzzing away behind the seats though. Drive me mad!

You seen this article in this months GM HighTech Performance? There's a tech article covering a
