’70 twin turbo ‘Cuda build by CJD AUTOMOTIVE

If you'll notice the intake has 16 injectors.  The lower set are 66 lbs. and the uppers are 120 lbs. I'm using twin Dominator fuel pumps, which are basically two pumps in one, so four fuel pumps.  I'm running a Holley Dominator EFI system to control everything including boost and traction.  This controller can store 3 different programs.  My 93 octane program only uses the 66 lbs. injectors and one of the fuel pumps.  This will give great drivability and throttle response and keep it at a sane 700 HP.  My 116 octane program uses duty cycle of injectors to bring on the big set.  Same goes for the fuel pumps.  They come on line as needed.  

That being said, the engine will spend 99% of it's life on the 66 injectors, only using the big ones for runs at Bonneville and Monster Mile events.

It's a decoupled 3-link.  It uses a short torque arm for acceleration, putting the instant center (IC) high, loading the rear.  It is so short, if it was attached, it would cause brake hop due to the high IC, unloading the rear.  The upper link is a telescoping link.  When braking, the torque arm unloads and starts loading the upper link.  This changes the IC low, loading the rear under braking.

I have two large water to air coolers that mount behind each headlight.  This car runs A/C, so I'm using a dual air Caravan setup.  The rear evaporator is in a box in the trunk, submerged in water.  This keeps the water just above freezing.  The water is pumped into each intercooler, then to a  small air to air radiator to get the water temp back close to ambient, and then back to the box to do it again.
