Whipple is setting in the garage, can't wait to start turning wrenches! Just trying to decide on the fuel mods. And as always I'll be leaving the tune to Dave at DSX!

Squash return style will be your ticket. Dsx has a killer E85 conversion kit. Dsx is a dealer for Injector Dynamics. A set of 850s or 1300 with E85.

You do the above and your fuel system is done!

Interesting to see so many do these themselves. Good stuff. I did mine in my garage too. I looked for someone to do it locally but nobody would do it. NOBODY. I'm glad they all refused because it was fun to do anyway.

Here is a little vid of the fun you can have...

Including fuel pump? BAP or in tank swap? If in tank you are pretty damn good to do it that fast.

This is how I did mine. Probably took me 10 to 12 total hours but spaced it over a few days.

Including ZL1 pump ADM Fuel Controller, but I cut an access panel in the floor.

-12F outside this morning and my SC staying warm in the basement. Makes me want to install it this weekend. Patience, I know.

Got the fuel done for the intial phased work before the winter blues and cold set in.
Just had a friend here dyno his new SLP yeterday at 641rwhp with middle 8lb pulley

Yes, I got some more use out of my tin snips that just was aging the tool box. Saved me 700$ and 14hrs driving in winter salty mess.

Caution PQ, the gas hoses are pressed against the floor pan at 7-8 oclock position.

Peace yall

7 and 8 as looking toward the back of the car?

Great to see so many doing there own install. So if I plan on 600 rwh, I have to up grade fuel system? Would this be to much for a dd?

Yes, you don't want to run lean at high rpm.

Definitely will want to at least run a BAP. I made 580 rear wheel horsepower with stock Maggie injectors and a BAP. Yours is a manual transmission so you can do it without a new fuel pump. I'm opting for a bigger pump and injectors to be safe.
