Does the factory gauges work with this set up?
There is no off position on my genius switch.
Little (well not really little) update on the car. After getting the car dynoed, my buddy made the switch from megasquirt to holley. After calculating how much money I had in megasquirt and the recepak, I decided to just sell everything and buy the holley dominator.
I have a buddy thats a holley dealer and he hooked me up proper, so I barely had to come out of pocket. I sold the 120lb injectors with the megasquirt and got some 210lb injectors as well.
Then I got sponsored by Jake at Jake’s performance and he sent a D3 trans brake for my 4L80e. This is when it really started to snowball. I figured now was the time to upgrade the rear end from the T lock and 31 spline moser axles. So I got another buddy to weld some billet 9” ends on, 35 spline strange axles, 5/8” screw in studs.
I went with the late model big ford 9” style ends/bearings because I had read I could us explorer rear brakes with them. Turns out, explorer caliper, rotor, and caliper brackets are pretty similar. after some creative thinking and some finesse, I ended up with explorer caliper brackets, stock vic calipers, rotors, and pads. Of course I had to drill out the rotors to accommodate the 5/8 studs, but when I put them on, I found the hub on the 35 spline axles was a little larger than the old ones, because the ID on the rotors wouldn’t fit. After 20 minutes with the dremel, they fit.
I also decided to change torque converters. I sold the triple disk and Jakes performance is making me a custom non lockup (252mm nissan core converter) for the car. It’ll have great street manners, and be very efficient (low slip percentage, efficient coupling) at the track.
Also, pulled the 3.73s and bought some used 3.55s on eBay to throw in. This is for 3 reasons, to calm it down leaving with the brake, help with cruise rpms since it’s gonna have a non lockup converter, and because the 3.73s with the lockup barely got me through the 1/4 mile under 6900rpms and with the non lockup, it won’t be perfectly 1:1, it should be around 3-5% slip
So long story longer, this next go around I’ll have holley dominator (engine and trans control, boost, bump box, etc), Trans brake, non lockup converter, and upgraded rear end. Here’s a little rear end porn. I’ll take some more pics soon, I’m gonna try to find some time to put the dominator in this week.

Nice. Nothing like tweaking a combo.
I need to get our rear upgraded too, from the 31 splines.
Are you using a spool or is there a diff for the 35 spline? I can't remember.

It's a spool. I believe there's something called an S track for 35 spline 8.8 stuff that strange makes. Not sure if it's out yet or not, but I don't have the $1400ish that I believe they list for anyway. LOL. My spool was $150.

i hear that from like half the people I talk to, then I hear I'll only notice it on really tight corners. My fuel pump is basically as loud as my open downpipes, and I've gotten used to all that, so I think I'll be okay with the spool. I know I won't be able to drive it in any sort of rain, car doesn't have wipers and it stays on drag radials, so that's not a problem.
