I've seen it said too many times that a single 340 is not enough pump when going deep 10's. Proof is right here in front of us that it is enough. Very interesting. Great combo you have there, a legend in the making. (Think Jim DeAllesandro, Tim Stockwell, Red Armstrong etc.) Someone needs to send GMHighTech writer to your place and do a nice article for the world to see. I enjoy reading about this car. Congrats on a winning combination. Craig

Is there something being left out, like an inline pump? I wouldn't consider the alky pump a "second" pump necessarily.

All TR's with alcohol injection have a dual fuel system. Meaning they have a minimum of two fuel pumps. It's all how you word the secret combination that makes it look good.

goin to Cecil County in Md in Oct first ... then maybe change the plugs for Reynolds
we should make it down there this time .. maybe goin to Orlando the week before for the "street car" racing :biggrin:My guess in post #46 is probably a little low and could be as much as 150hp worth of fuel. You have to figure that most guys cant go over 125mph at 3600 lbs with a single 340 and no other pump when everything else is in check. She's going 135.5mph. It takes about 150 hp to go from 125mph to 135.5 mph at the same weight. Im figuring her engine is making a click under 700 hp. Thats kicking ass for a stock set of rods and .020 stock crank
on a relatively mild build. Proves that if there is no detonation the engine will live. Tuning is the most important aspect. Ill admit id be nervous running the stock rods that hard myself though. Ive seen plenty of 12 sec. cars that had more turbo and heads than she does.- Joined
