A huge "thank you" to Mike Glover, developer of the
TwEECer for providing the
base MAP and tuning her at
Fastlane, Inc.
in Houston, Texas.
Here are some details:
The current drive train is:
Engine: Dart after-market racing block 302 8.2" deck height with all
forged SCAT rotating assembly stroked to 331 cubic inches, Air Flow Research 185
heads, Scorpion roller rockers, GT-40 intake, with a
Kenne-Bell
Flowzilla/Blowzilla twin-screw supercharger featuring a custom intercooler running at an initial 10
lbs of boost. Ford based EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) system programmed through a TwEECer
RT connected to a laptop
computer. 16 gallon sump added fuel tank, and in line high pressure pump.
The engine is from Brian Adams of AD
Performance of Samamish, WA. Brian sells some of the best parts on the
market at reasonable prices and access to one of the best experienced engine
machinists in the area. Brian has quite a deserved reputation in the Mustang
community.

supplied by Muscle Motors Performance,
Inc.

We can't use the billet distributor due to the large fuel rails. Fortunately, we have a stock one.

Fuel tank with anti-slosh sump
Supercharged cars need protection against fuel starvation. We added a sump to prevent this from happening. |
