Looks like a fun project! Are you going to drive this all winter or do you use the truck for DD?

[C3L1CA]

Looks better already!

Good luck on the project dude and hope you hit your goals

Cool. I'm not a 3si guy, so just curious, are there no other cost effective tuning options for that car which is why you're limiting yourself to an SAFC?

After you buy a 3S, how much do you have to invest in total to get it to the power level ryans car was at?

Hell no. Car doesn't even know what snow looks like as far as I know. It was delivered in CA, lived there for 5+ years, then moved to AZ, lived there for a few years. It has been in MN for about 10 months, mostly as a garage queen due to a few simple, but broken, parts.

Giant truck =daily driver in crappy weather, winter, when stealth is down.

Stealth = preferred daily driver when not being worked on and weather = good.

Essentially everything that works for a DSM (piggyback wise, no dsmlink) works for the 3/s, some better than others. The goal is to size the injectors larger than factory to compensate for the fuel difference, account for some headroom for the raised boost pressure, and pull signal to lean it out and bump up timing. Should prove to be entertaining and a challenge. Worst case scenerio is it doens't work, I sell the S-AFC and throw in an AEM.

The goal is as cheap as possible. Ryan's car was very simple from a modification perspective, except for the custom transmission work. Bolt on turbo's, bolt-on manifold, AEM EMS, fuel, clutch, exhaust, removed crap, FMIC, and pump gas.

My approach will be similar but trying to do it without the expense of the AEM for now. Eventually I'll go standalone, but I want to see what I can accomplish with minimal $$ invested.

There are other cheaper standalone options other than AEM if you're ballin on a budget... :)

Yea. Such as this?

edit - nevermind! that thing is AEM priced.

I know megasquirt is a possibility.

Only being the key word. 460 is a lot to make, then you need to get it to the ground. I just thought it was funny saying that 11's are easy. :rollinglaugh:

We arent talking about you old man!!!

Swanny, you should email the dsmlink guys I know a few were asking about it before and they are always looking to expand if there is a market.

The ARC is like a MAFT, it's going to have the same ignition timing problems as an SAFC. An AEM FIC 8 might work.
