Working the problem of border line vacuum for the dual diaphragm booster. My cam shaft is a 110 LSA Bullett, [email protected], 576 lift w/ 1.6 ratio. and at idle I'm pulling just a tick over 17" with the car in park and no load on the engine. As soon as I drop it in gear the vacuum drops to 15.7". So following kern dogs plight with hydro boost I thought I'd try a less technical approach. What I've done is relocated the vacuum port from under the throttle blades and moved it 3/4 of the way down #7 runner like the OEM locations. Then I added a vacuum reservoir to see if I could find a better brake feel. So far it seems to work however I haven't taken the car out for a real-world test but this is showing promise and only kicked the crap outta 50 bucks. Anyone tried this before?

NICE progress!! I got a (and it maybe stupid) question if I may ask, but why don't I see the porthole lights?

I didn't cut out the hole for the marker lights at the time of the photo. Thats been done now and the marker lights installed. Thanks for looking brother

Awesome work, congratulations looking good.
Getting around to cutting and buffing before I start hanging the rest of the sheet metal. Happy with the way the garage paint job turned out and didn't cost me 50-60 grand

Thanks brother! It's been a fun project for sure, this 17 footer was challenging.
Finally have the dash wiring finished, the dash bolted up and the 440 fired up with the EFI system. Another milestone

Awesome! Getting close now but still lots to do. Don't rush it, enjoy it!
FYI Bob (440plus6) here's where I wound up mounting mine. Trying to keep things easy to get to..

It is. 100 micron from the tank and 80 micron going to the EFI

Great to hear that the 440 is ready to do business and to see that everything is looking really good!
