Charlie is putting up three units to be dyno tested by TDR members. Thanks Charlie.
The Fuel Preporator is not QUITE the same as the FASS. The Preporator has gone through some evolution and manufacturing changes. I'll let Charles fill you in there. He has already posted some excellent information under the "FASS" threads.
For those who don't know, Brad Ekstam is Charles Ekstam's son. They worked together for some time, and now they don't. There is a court battle going on right now concerning their differences. I think it is safe to say that the original Preporator is the daddy of the FASS. But let's not get too far into the personal business made public part of the deal.
Sometime back, Brad made +HP claims for his system (FASS). When prodded for dyno information and further testing, we found that those numbers came from G-techs and Fords.
While both systems are primarily designed to enhance fuel pressure and transfer pump reliability issues, there underlies enhanced performance issues/claims that INTRIGUE some of us.
I couldn't get Brad to volunteer a FASS for testing, but now Charles is providing Preporators.
THERE WILL BE THREE TESTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. CA's Rattlin Rams(Kevin Marlin), PA's JetPilot (Doug Smith), and the Mid-TN TDR (us) will be conducting before and after dyno runs.
No, this won't be the end-all absolutely scientific, white lab-coat type test. This will be down and dirty, run it as it is, change it, run it again test. But I do believe each test group will give the unit a fair shake.
We'll desribe each test truck as best we can and we'll note all the changes we detect. What more could you ax for?
I think Doug is going to use a straight up stock truck. I'm going to use my 24v--which is in the mid 400's right now. Full details when we do the numbers.
