Anyone know if they made it? Creightons facebook status didnt sound good.
Tommy said they just got there. There was something about the highway being shut down for a goat too

Crossfire is more like taking a stock tbi, cutting it in half, then scattering the carcasses towards opposite corners of the engine. Still only 2 barrels, 2 injectors with individual drivers.
The issue is, although we have seen a few pictures of a 2x4 intake set up for a dual tbi on a small block, and even found out that howell and turbo city sold a kit for it, we have been unable to find anyone that has completed a running setup. Even though there have been a few to claim they have, there is no proof. What is so special about this setup is it is the first known dual tbi setup on a big block and the icing on the cake is that it runs a stock computer. Flem knows a lot more about this then I do, so I'll let him chime in on the rest.Quote:

Now with all that being said, the setup we are running is virtually untested and we are still trying to figure out what it needs to run at maximum potential. Once Flem is able to get a bit more tune time on the truck I think it will be a whole nother animal from what it has already become. He is even working on figuring up something for cook's red truck. Viva la ****ty Fuel Injection
edit: I know this might not seem like a big deal to a lot of people, but with the complexity that has gone into it, its a pretty cool accomplishment and im pround to say i helped out. With all the crap we have had to go through with this truck and the hurdles that had to be jumped, we did the best we could!
yes, there was about a 2 hour window from the time the truck had a useable O2 sensor bungholio and the time it left, and I was passed out face down on a cooler for 1 of those hours,Quote:

Anyone heard from them? This is the only proof I've found that they made it. I wonder where the air cleaner went.
wow that ranger makes the beast's 44s look like street tires
i just heard from tommy, he was trying to figure out what fitting he needed to get for the steering
sounds like someone jack knifed a gooseneck. bet that doesn't stay in vegas.

But I think we need insider updates. Anyone heard anything else?
Im sorry i dont know all about the great usage of ****ty fuel injection out there clarke. im not even gonna argue the point.
rowdy shut up. go quit another job or something
Talked to sharpe a few times today; ed didnt get last in the hill climb, something like 7th or 8th but the climate change iis causeing problems with the motor, after a timing advance sharpe said it started to run better. He didnt get to do the frame twister due to the fact of so many dnf's, and he got half way through the mud pit, and finished mid pack in the event beating out "fat girl". Thats all i got for now im sure i will get an update tomorrow, sounds like the beast is holding together and keeping close pace to the much better built rigs
Better built rigs? Impossible!Quote:

Sweet! I'm glad to hear he's making a good show of it with all of that last minute work.
Sounds like she may be a little rich. Unplug one of those TBIs and she'll run like a top!Quote:

Good job getting this thing done in time for the event guys, except for you clarke, you still suck.
a littlte rich maybe, needs smaller injectors, but still within range on the wide band.
and john, atleast im not a interweb **** talking piece of ****
so are you guys competing or still running as an alternate?
**** = shit?Quote:

Glad to hear it made it and atleast running around.
we tried 350 injectors because after calculating the BSFC for a 380hp motor it needed 64lb injectors, but they were too much. So we left what was in the throttle bodies to begin with alone, but wen it gets back we will try 4.3's or 305'sQuote:

i heard from sharpe last night, they didnt get to run any events yesterday due to everyone else breakin and taking forever. The big ranger busted a tranny as well.
John, the engine setup is a mark V block, partiot heads with big valves, and a edelbrock performer rpm 2x4 intake. The problem with this setup is it was all based around ed eventually switching to a mark IV block, stroking it to 496 of 511, and raising the CR to around 11:1. As it sits right now the heads are way to big for the cam and low CR, which is causeing some of the tuning issues. I think once the motor is built like ed wants then we can really start making power. I read up on a similar build where a guy useed dual 650's and made almost 700hp with a slighty larger cam but with the LSA of 112* which is still tbi friendly
no time for pics during the build, ill get some when they get back.
you eat pieces of **** for breakfast? :laughing::flipoff2:Quote:

Looking forward to the build details. Ed will be dangerous with that kind of power.
looks like the ttc officials are being little bitches. that sucks especially after he spent so much money on fat girl...Quote:

too bad it wasn't a truck so ed could be a competitor.
