For those struggling with traction on the dyno give this a try.

After the tires are warmed up spray a bit on the tires/rollers. Works great.

Also, in my experience the best traction is found with the cars tires as forward as possible on the rollers. (it does seem counter intuitive)

Thanks guys for updated info as Video was misleading as hell ! I should have bugged them when I was at SEMA last week but forgot.

My build is still going on after 8 weeks but praying I get close to these numbers.

Anyone know if he is running Meth or Bigger Injectors ?

Larger flow injectors are required to run full E85 fuel otherwise you won’t flow enough fuel to feed the HP!

understand that but they dont mention bigger Injectors and a lot of people run E85 without changing them.

I asked my builder and he didnt seem to think they were worth the cost. The cost is insane.

Well Katech built mine and we tried without the high flow injectors and at WOT ran out of fuel on full E85 so they are a must to get the kind of HP Katech gets !

Taz when you mean at WOT the car was not running good without the new Injectors or you mean to get the Extra power you are mentioning.

You will notice it in everyday driving without the Injectors ?


thanks

Im really liking the plan of adding port fuel injectors like they say the zr1 is running. It addresses a couple avenues, 1 more fuel, 2 cleaner valves!

No meth, but yes, larger injectors.
