Here's the current state of the Stealth BOMB'r.

I took the opportunity to clean the frame up good while I had it like this.

The batteries are done, bolted it, and ready for wiring.

I messed with the FASS today. Chopped the bracket down a bit, and re-routed some lines.

 

nice progress!
im not telling you what to do but i would maybe wrap some rubber or some soft absorbable material around the batteries so they dont rattle and annoy you later down the road.
I LIKE YOUR SETUP THO! A LOT! haha

 

Trust me, they ain't rattling.

If I can hear those rattling over all the other noise makers on this truck, I'll be doing okay.

 

Well, here was the extent of my evening.

Wasn't feeling real motivated to actually accomplish anything, so I just installed the B&W turnover GN.

I've had it sitting here for a while and figured, screw it, the bed's off.

 

So here was tonight's fun.

Got all the fuel system stuff I needed except for the -10 to -8 y-fitting to split the supply line off to the CP3's.

Then I ran into something I didn't notice until today....

The pickup tube from the tank has a a different size fitting than the inlet to the FASS and won't fit a -10 line.

I found an adapter that would work, but it definitely wouldn't have been ideal and would have made running the -10 kind of pointless.

So, after confering with my man Tom, we came up with a solution.....time to sump the tank and put a 1/2 NPT fitting on it to feed that -10 line to the FASS.

Here's what used to feed 740+ HP.....



Here's what'll be feeding the beast now.....









Why buy it when you can make it.

These are the two sides of the bulkhead that will sandwich the tank.

One will be getting cut out to serve as the bowl and the other will get tapped for 1/2 NPT. The 6 holes will be getting tapped on one of the flanges for 3/8 cap head bolts. Add in a gasket and she'll be golden.

 

must be nice man. i wish, if i had that much knowledge, id be golden, but theres noone around here to teach. oh. and i rode in a 05 duramax the other day. the guy claimed to have 742 hp. : / i doubt it big time. it was nice but not really even put u in the back of ur seat. i was very dissappointed. nothing like i expected, i hope that wasnt 700+ hp. cause if it was then i dnt want it. he kept making the excuse that he was running biodiesel instead of regular and regular makes the truck run wayyy faster. and he was telling me that cummins doesnt like running on biodiesel.

 

its true. cummins hate biodiesel and so do i

 

i used bio 1 time and the exhaust smelled like used oil out of mcdonalds frenchfry machione. lol i hated it and it didnt smoke. i like my smoke. plus the truck didnt run as good as it did with diesel.

 

There's lots of guys that claim big HP and TQ. Usually it's someone that has nothing but an Edge, an intake and an exhaust. Actually had this very conversation with some cat a few weeks ago.....well, he was talking up his truck in front of some "friends" at a party. Talking about how he had 700+, running an Edge and a tranny with a shift kit. I had to laugh.

Pics, vids, timeslips or dyno sheets.....otherwise, it didn't happen.

If it didn't set you back in the seat, it wasn't a 700 HP truck......or even a 500 HP truck.

At 700+ HP, I'm fighting the truck halfway down an 1/8th mile track. Launch at more that 17 lbs of boost and all 4 tires come violently unglued.

As for the bio.....the Cummins is rated for low concentrations of bio. i know it's rated for B5, I want to say they recently rated it for B20, but not full bio.

 

Here's essentially what the tank sump is going to look like when it's done.

I have another idea in mind, that I actually like better, but the hours to machine it are not what I really want to spend on it right now.
