The biggest thing about running a different fuel type is the compensation tuning. On ECMLink V3, I have to add around 22% global fuel to compensate for E85. Although my 1000cc injectors have enough flow, based on the amount of boost I am running, my Walbro 255HP pump does not have enough flow.

Now, for someone who is running 6psi on our trucks, a Walbro 255, a set of injectors, tuner, and E85 mix would be very real.

Sorry guys... but BOTH of those had lag.... The first one was already rolling... BECAUSE he was spooling up the turbo to prevent the lag, so thats not a fair example... Lets see him take off from a dead stop with no lag.

The HEMI in that video had crazy lag. He barely moved forward after hitting the gas, if you cant see that then you just don't want to admit it. YES he also had CRAZY pick up AFTER the turbo spooled up and kicked in... Still impressive non the less... but he still had a second or two of lag. A centrifugal or roots style blower would have launched MUCH MUCH harder off the line.

I know plenty of guys with TURBO's and Superchargers... and all the Turbo guys have some sort of lag, some more then others but they all had some. This does not mean the power they made was not impressive... just means they all took a second to make it form a dead stop.

You can limit the amount of lag with a Turbo but you will never get rid of it... You just adjust it to be acceptable... And refuse to admit its there.

Also, the SULLIVAN intake only sits about 3" higher then the factory intake... So there is a good chance it will fit under the hood of a Dakota... we have a Dakota owner who purchased the Sullivan, we hope to have some pictures soon.

And if your planning on boost... the Sullivan intake is the way to go.

Im not saying not to go Turbo... Im just suggesting that there will always be some sort of lag off the line... unless your running a very high stall and or a standard transmission... but OFF IDLE they will all lag. A supercharger will not lag off idle but its limited to the total amount of HP on the top end where a turbo will walk right by.



SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM

I dunno Nick, I thought it was sick. I loved every STS setup I've seen, the only one I've know to have problems is Adam's. Any progress on your Eaton and Whipple projects?
