There is no doubt a ProCharger/HEMI combination is quite popular in the outlaw drag racing ranks and the latest convert is James Miron with his flawless 1968 Camaro. The conversion took approximately three weeks thanks to Race Car Specialties and Michael Bunton. The finishing move was a trip to the FuelTech USA headquarters for hub dyno testing and then on to Bradenton Motorsports Park.
Testing on FuelTech’s Mainline Hub Dyno isn’t just about maximizing power, it is about saving time and money to sort through problems before getting on track with a new combination. For Miron, the time spent with the FuelTech and Pro Line Racing groups was worth it as he qualified fourth with a 3.83 at 186 mph at the car’s first outing. Eliminations were cut short due to weather but Miron was completely satisfied with the whirlwind conversion from being a nitrous-injected combination to a ProCharger-enhanced 3,000+ HP Pro Line Racing HEMI.
The FT600 and the PowerFT ECUs family—FT550, FT550LITE, and FT450—offer a complete line-up of standard features including sequential injection and ignition, O2 Closed Loop, data logger, delay box, Boost Controller, Nitrous Controller, and so much more. FuelTech’s extensive list of features has helped change the game in the aftermarket ECU market, as proven by the success in various motorsports with championships and record-breaking performances.
Big power requires a matching ignition system and the FTSPARK-8 is paired with a set of CDI Racing Ignition coils. Some users run the groundbreaking Gen I system and it is a highly capable ignition system, however, FuelTech replaced it nearly two years ago with the FTSPARK-8 Gen II. The Gen II box offers a minimum and guaranteed 750mj of energy at 140 amps and has been tested up to 850mj in certain applications. FuelTech tests every unit prior to boxing to ensure each one meets the 750mj minimum guarantee. That works out to a 25 percent increase in mj output and a 12.5 percent increase of amps at the primary coil over the FTSPARK Gen I. All Gen I ignition boxes are upgradable to Gen II and it utilizes the same enclosure, making the swap easy and quick.
An EGT-8 CAN is used on Miron’s Camaro to expand the input capacity of the FT600 and enable the use of eight thermo-coupler temperature sensors like EGT, oil or water temperature, and CHT. The EGT-8 CAN is compatible with any FT-series engine management system, including the older FT500 and FT500-LITE. For those who require the ultimate in expansion, FuelTech offers its Input Expander that connects using CAN communication. It allows for up to 24 additional inputs, including 20 analog inputs and 4 VR sensors.
From NHRA professional drag racing championships to Pro 275 in the Radial Outlaws Championship series, there is a reason you’re seeing #FuelTechEverywhere
