To make wiring racecars easier.

Sorry that you feel that way. We were trying to keep it as budget friendly as possible while still providing a good product. Our other customers have said it was easy to install and worked well. Having said that, we do have a return policy and you could return the one you purchased and purchase this one.

Why do you say that? The ground only serves to complete the circuit to TRIGGER the relays, less than 5 amps total. If you calculate 5 amps at 12” length, the wire size that technically could be used is smaller than 22ga. Now if you were going to be grounding more stuff to the fuse box, then yes you would need to change to a heavier gauge wire, but the kit is not designed for that.

100% Agree. Ground total should be at least equal to or more than the power. 🤷

For the component itself (fuel pump, fans, water pump), yes the ground wire would have to be the same size as the power wire. But the ground wire you are seeing on this board is only for triggering the relays. These relays draw around 200ma to turn on. That is around 2 amps total for all 10 relays. So less than 5 amps is running through that ground wire.

@@HowertonPerformance Alrighty, thanks for straightening me out. I didn't come across quite like I had intended, I am just tired of being inundated with misinformation and b.s. from people who should never miss lead others. But that's where the money is I suppose. So if I jumped the gun and didn't process what I was seeing, my bad.

@Toyotajunkie No problem. We totally understand being aggravated by companies that mislead. That’s why we try to be as upfront with people as possibly, but it’s hard to fit ALL the info that we need to in a video short enough for people to watch and not fall asleep lol. We have nothing to hide and so when someone asks a question we try to explain the best that we can. Definitely no hard feelings on our end 🤝

These versions do not have fly back diodes, they are mainly designed to be used with switches. If you are concerned about voltage spikes then they would need to be installed or our PCB based Monster Board could be used.

It is not on our website right at the moment, it is preorder for the next couple weeks. If you preorder you get a free 12ft wiring bundle ($100 value).

You mean the solid state relay? You can use it to PWM nitrous, transbrake, or even fans and fuel pumps.

Thank you for your order! We should start assembling in the next few days. Basically the Mid-Level kit will turn on the ECU. If you want the ECU to trigger any of the circuits (fans, transbrake, nitrous) then we can wire some of the circuits with ground trigger.

We have a 6 relay box that is waterproof. Other than that it would have to be a custom kit.

@@HowertonPerformance I want a pushbutton start. Swiches to get truck running then accessories. How should I start?

Thank you!

Thanks! Whatever gets the job done, we use 3/16” abs plastic sheet. It is flexible enough to not crack, but sturdy enough to mount everything on securely.

Thanks!

We can probably figure something out 😜

Also, can the solid state relay be used for two step (it's what I use for a pit speed limiter)

We can do a custom build for you. The solid state can be used for just about anything really, we just normally use them for transbrake or nitrous.

Any questions, just reach out and ask!

That’s what I’ve heard, throttle is too sensitive for cruising. This is a drag only truck for now anyways.

Thanks! We really appreciate hearing that!

I believe the throttle blades need peened on the ends to lower the idle. It was running so rich that any adjustments I made would make no difference, otherwise I would suspect a vacuum leak.

Not our preferred exhaust either, but it’s what came with the truck when we traded, so it will have to do for now.

We’ve heard that, but we’ve also heard from some very experienced people that ran them that they outperformed all other carbs, so we just thought we’d see for ourselves.

@@HowertonPerformance please let us all know what you find out about performance.

The fuse box in the middle has constant power, unless you have a kill switch.

Carbs are pretty cool 😎

Hoping the brakes don’t fail!!

Thanks! It’s just a mild build though.

Yes. Electric water pump, fan, and fuel pump.

Or toaster oven carb.

I figured we’d try it and see 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh yeah, they’re definitely old and have a niche.

I figured we’d just try it and see.

Hookers, but not sure what model number. They came with truck.

It’s a drag only truck, so we will just be driving in pits and then wide open on the track. If it was a cruiser, I would probably change to something else. These carbs have been known to be good on NA motors though, so we are just trying to see how we like it.

@@HowertonPerformance that should work great then. The predator carburetors love to run wide open.

Not sure that I could tell you if it was the very first one, but I know that Elvis used some kendig carbs in a movie or ad once.

It’s modified, but just mild.

Awesome! Sounds like a killer build!

Thanks, but we still have some cleaning up to do 😅

😎💪

We have the other linkage as well, but everyone that we have talked to said the bowl needs to be pointing front especially for drag racing. We have done some modifications to get the AFR in the correct range, but still are working to get it tuned just right. It was dumping WAY too much fuel at first and fouling plugs.

We might have to change to a higher rise intake, but we do have a 1” spacer under it at the moment. We have done some modifications to get the AFR where it needs to be, it was dumping way too much fuel to begin with and fouling plugs.

A guy I knew had those carbs on a tunnel ram on a BBC when they were new to market and it ran great, I personally don't know much about them.

It very simple operating, but also complex to tune. We have definitely had to do some research to figure it out.

Close enough. Lol.

We have the ignition to run it, but might have to switch over to a higher rise intake. We have a 1” spacer under it to help out with atomization though. I’ve heard of them running good on smaller engines, but with modifications. Since they are variable Venturi, they will only draw as much air/fuel as the motor demands, up to a certain point at least. We have done a few modifications to get AFR where it needs to be on this 408. Good idea on the backfire flaps though!

It does not have the idle circuit. It was running super rich through the whole range h til we epoxied a few of the holes in the spray bar. We have learned at lot since first getting it.

12” by 12” that is 3/16” ABS. Flexible enough to conform to slight curvature of firewall and not crack, but stiff enough not be flimsy.

Still working to tune it, but we like it!

Kinda wish it didn’t, but it does make it seem mean 💪

Look at the alternator, The fan is electronic.

It’s definitely running, even a little rich. Look at the right side when we rev it, it shoots fuel out exhaust. Fan is electric.

Thanks! Needs a little tuning still though.

I agree that I love the sounds of those things. Alcohol funny cars are one of my favorites. Us being on a low budget, this is the best sound we will ever hear though, or at least for a while 😅

We have built lots of kits that are ground trigger for use with ECUs or ground switches. Most of the time if someone is needing something like that they will contact us. But yes, we should probably explain that on our website before people order.

The steering shaft goes through the headers.

@@HowertonPerformance I've done the same. Nice truck man.

@@joethomas6457thanks! It’s still a work in progress 😅

I think the key to my bill at least was changing the motor mounts to shuffle the motor another inch further back to get a full size engine driven clutch fan then I never had a problem again with that

I had multiple engines in my S10 back in the day but one of the first ones was a high output 305 that ended up with a manifold on one side from a Pontiac and on the other side from a Oldsmobile or something all about getting around that steering linkage

We think we have the alternator figured out, but we are working through some more small issues. Just trying to get it ready for the track 🤪
