A quick update on the project for those that have wondered:
As others with the 3.4 have confirmed, there is definitely some fuel issues after the 700 rwhp mark. They started showing themselves at 716 rwhp to be exact. So, JDM is investigating how to upgrade the already upgraded (LOL) fuel system. That 716 was through a 3" exhaust system with CATs in place, 12 degrees timing.
We will probably end up with a -8AN line from tank to rail (its -6AN now) and some sort of aftermarket fuel rail.
Then the question is how far will 255 pumps and 60 # injectors get us........
In addition, the SCT 2800 MAF will probably max around 775'ish HP. Hmmmm......what to do then???
So for those thinking of a 3.4........... Be prepared for fuel upgrades to take full advantage of the possibilities.
Just guessing, the whipple inlet is not the restriction at this point.
When does a built block with rods rated at 900HP become an issue???? :headscratch:
It would appear that 10 second pump gas trucks will be no problem with this setup.
Have a great Christmas
