[Bullitt#4660]

Installed a supercharger on #4660 and it seems like the fan is running all the time on it now. I know that the new Vortech chip kicks the fan on at a lower temp but would just like the added insurance of a bigger, better radiator before summer comes around here in SoCal. If anyone has one or knows of a company that makes one that will drop right in let me know. Thanks!

Steeda:

Also it is in the Steeda Ad in the January MM&FF.

Saw that one, does it fit the 2001 I wonder? Guess I'll give 'em a buzz and find out.

You may want to try Redline's Water Wetter first.

A lot of people here in AZ swear by it.

Have Water Wetter in it already, couldn't tell any difference but have heard good things about it, that's why I tried it.

You may want to call Griffin radiators as well. I have one in my LX and it was considerably less expensive than the Be-cool or Fluidyne that Steeda uses and works very well. I was running around 210 after one 1/4 mile run, now I can make 3 or 4 before I even approach that temp. Like was already suggested, try water wetter first though.

On another note, how's that charger working out for you? Was it worth the wait(like I don't know the answer to that)?

 

[Bullitt#4660]

Having the charger is very cool. Especially being in SoCal with all the arrogant Vette drivers and import tuner punks. Off the topic now....what does your fuel pressure run or what is it supposed to read?

 

[Barnaby]

This car runs a little different than my Saleen did. At idle the Bullitt is at around 25psi and under WOT it tops 60psi. My Saleen OTOH was around 32 at idle and never got above 55 and that was with smaller injectors and a smaller fuel pump. My A/F never goes above 11:1 so it's real safe right now the way it sits.

Not related to any question, I am seeing 8#s boost at 6K with my powerpipe, what boost are you seeing?

 

[Bullitt#4660]

That's exactly what my fuel pressure gauge is saying. That makes me feel better since I thought it was supposed to be around 40. My boost at 6000 is a little over 6psi from what I can tell. I'm usually looking at the tach at that point though, which is why I want a shift light. Do you know at what RPM our new computer chip limits the engine to? I think stock was around 6000 or 6200.

According to my dyno chart, which is probably more accurate than our tachs it cuts off at around 6100.
