i remember seeing your motor mocked up a LONG time ago when you made a thread about it and at that time i didnt know really anything about the HSR...so i guess i can say your mocked up motor was one of the contributing factors in me going with the stealthram!
looks good

Summit sells distro blocks and such. Do some searches and you'll find out about em.
What I've got is a circuit breaker for my amplifiers in the back. Breakers are so much nicer than fuses!

OK, thanks for the reply. Just didn't know what that was and was curious. No big deal.

Johnny Blaze, is it me or did you run your fuel lines in parrallel instead of in series?
You guys scroll back up top and check it out. He's got that big ole aeromotive fuel reg. in there too.
I've heard of doing this for very high fuel flow rates. Anyone care to chime in and tell me a little more? Johnny?

Almost ready
The before shot is in the sig or on my site, New buildup is just about ready to go in.
Gotta go out of the country again so its setback time for a week or two. Gotta get this done by spring or I'm going to really be upset with myself.
Guess I don't feel so bad, everyone seems to be half done right now

Thanks, I wish I could take mine to that level and start clean.
It will be worth it in the end. I'm still scrubbing gunk off the engine compartment, frame, etc. and painting as I go.
Starting clean lets you do everything right. Takes allot more time messing with all of the little things though.
To do mine any cleaner it would be ALL in pieces and take years at the rate I get things done. I'm picky about doing it once and not having to worry about something later. Good luck with it, should be real sweet when its finished.

Should work well if the supply line is larger than 3/8 (-6). Any smaller and the pressure drop in the supply line may negate the benefit.
