Thanks Dragonfire Racing!

The last three days Todd at Dragonfire flew his head tech out here to NC to give us a hand with our car. We are the first consumer to have all of the 09' EFI parts that I know of and had a couple issues of our own that needed to be tweeked slightly. DFR got us running faster than I could have imagined. With the combination of tuning and clutching I'd say we have a extremely fast pump gas Teryx, and I've yet to put the heads and rods in it yet.....those will come soon. Dragonfire has stood by their products and has came through for us at every level and then some. Also, this standalone system is second to none, nothing on the market can come even close to touching this setup.
Here are some pictures of the car, it's still apart so we can reroute some cooling lines and button up a couple things.

What size tubing is the air intake? 3"?
How noisy is it with the intake by your head?
What size is the exhaust opening at the end of the muffler?
How do you like to Fox Shocks?

The intake is roughly 3" and we haven't run it like that yet. The intake was holding to much junk since its in a dead spot for airflow.
The exhaust is 1-13/16 opening at the "mufflers" and the tubing is roughly 1-1/2.
IMO Fox makes the best shocks on the market, I'm a fox dealer also. We trail rode with the car stock except for shocks and it was a completely different car. The high speed and low speed compression is highly tunable and it soaks up 95% of the stuff we throw at it. Rebound is there for when we send it up in the air. Everyone seems to say that Elka is the best but all the racers that I've talked to that have it hate them. I would build long travel for the car if GNCC would allow it.

DragonFire and Todd are a top notch bunch of guys,then to come 3000 miles to help tune,well what more can you say!

When I talked with Todd the other day I thought he said they were still using the Weber IDF style 45mm's. Those in the pic are the one's I want. Are those the one's that you still have to make intakes for? Seems like it could still use a bigger still air box.

They are using the IDF in the desert car I think. My throttle bodies will not work well with +4 heads due to them being so tall so I'm told but we don't run with the plastic engine cover. If I can find a way to make +4 heads work with my TB then that's what Ill have. These are 2 single 45mm throttle bodies and work very very well and that "manifold" will be their production manifold from what I'm told. I'm going to go with a +2/3 head and rods so we can spin up to 12k+ rpm

OK then that must be the manifold that wasn't in production yet. I'm not sure why the 4mm heads wouldn't work, I kept the manifolds the same length as stock on the ones I sent out there. I don't know why you would go +2 or 3mm valves if you are not changing the spiget size on the heads. I am going to go with the set up you are running with my 4mm bigger valves now that I see they are using them on my 1000cc motor.I am at 42mm on my 4mm bigger valve heads now VS. the 38mm stock spiget opening.

Glad to Hear Dr D got you up and going....Good Peeps at DFR

If the changes aren't going to effect my TB setup....which they shouldn't I will run 4+ heads for sure. I'll make some changes to the fuel management and

Shoot me a PM on the price of the heads.
