Retrotek Purchase

I took off a day this week from work to have some alone time and get my set up going... started and played with it in the driveway for a good 30 minutes then cruised around.

Then I had some issues....
I decided to mess with the settings and reload a program just to make sure i had the right one set up and ended up gettting stranded at the 7/11 near my house for a good 20-30 minutes. I ended up not selecting 6A box it the set up application and it would start. then once i figured it out and changed it to 6A i quickly head home running super rich A/F. As i had it idling I went back and changed the injector size to my upgraded 80lb ers and and the idle and A/F went perfect back to 13.1... (so my issues were my fault!)

once I set everything up to the correct parameters for a boosted application I took it out to the freeway. Went on the on ramp and eased into the throttle and man was it smooth! no lean spots, A/F was 12.8 and as I came into boost i went 12.2 all the way up to almost 10psi.

So far so good. I have the xcel spread sheet for up to 18psi that I will be loading up maybe this weekend and then I will go try it out again. I'm not going to 18 but will tune for it just incase I happen to hit it someday.

Sounds like its getting there. Have any pics?

not sure why so many people knock the system.It works and for what it cost, it really wasnt much more then my carb/fuel pump sitting on a shelf.I would have no problem buying another one for my next project.

here's one but doesnt really look any different than before.

i'm a little worried about my gas tank though. With the sump I never had issues before picking up fuel to keep 7psi but now trying to keep it at 45 is a whole different story.
I was on an incline and the car shut off cause I had 6 gallons in it and all the fuel went to the front of the tank. I'm thinking I may need to add a t fitting and also use my drain as a secondary pick point for the gas to be drawn to the pump. I would hate to stop quickly or be on a hill like this and not be able to start my car.

There's also the option of using a surge tank.

Intake Manifolds?

iskwezm and 12sec67, what intake manifolds are you two using with the Powerjection III?

Depending on what I may afford, this system does not cost much more than a carb set up.

i'm running a Professional Products, Hurricane Intake. I had to hand port it since the ports were small and had lots of burs in the intake... its definetly not as good as edelbrock or holley intakes as far as quality out of the box ready for installation
