SHOW ME THE HORSEPOWER!!!!

Tell us a bit more about that Pantera... what kind of #s did it run and what motors did it have on it? Really cool, imo.
 
On the Pantara not sure of numbers yet the motors are still being built. they were 2.4 200HP but should be a little more once done. Not really going for top numbers more for reliablity.
 
Since Ross bumped it back up, figured I'd share some pics of the 24s setup as it sits right now. I'm almost done.. the only addition I'm kicking around is a blowoff valve in the pipe before the intercooler since I work the throttle so much in the rough.

Hey nick what fuel pump are you running my motors will start fine cold if I've ran them recently if not they need to crank over till I get fuel pressure built back up I'm thinking my pumps are the weak link letting pressure drop over time
 
absolutely awesome ndanials :thumb:

That 525 of yours is pretty nice too!

Aeromotive pump... comes on with key power.

Josh you got an electric pump, or the mechanical ones that run off the seapump? I could see if its the mech pump taking a bit of cranking because of fuel evaporating out of the bowls.. my old setup was like that... I'm guessing that is whats going on with yours.
 
Yeah nick I need to upgrade fuel pumps at some point the ole seawater pumps still make plenty of pressure but the leak down situation is annoying I've actually been looking at the new Holley efi setup an would have to replumb with that setup anyway I'm getting sick of having to re jet depending on the weather
 
Yeah, I rememberd yours was a roots setup, so I figured you probably were still running mech pumps.

The nice thing about mech pumps is they always seem to work..never had one let me down- ever. Same goes for carbs...


Motors look good Josh.
