Article on Snow Performance and J&S Safeguard Integration for a safety net

The December issue of MM&FF includes an article titled "Safety First".  This is a technical article to show how to safely utilize the Snow Performance methanol injection system to allow additional timing in a tune. In the past damage could happen to the motor if you added the timing and for some reason, lost the methanol flow. Suddenly you found yourself in a detonation condition and we all know what that means.

 We added the Snow Performance Safe Injection flow sensing module. This unit is tubed into the Meth line and will send out a 12vdc signal when the flow falls below an adjustable set point. Normally this is used to light a warning lamp, but we all know that isn't something that we can react quickly enough to to save a motor. What we did is also install a J&S Safeguard system to do something quickly with this failure signal.

The J&S Safeguard can control the spark advance in the motor by adding Dwell to the spark. It is attached to the control wire of each coilpack. It has an auxiliary 12vdc input that when energized, adds dwell/subtracts timing immediately. This originally was intended for a nitrous retard, but works very well to pull timing on meth flow failure. The J&S also adds its main function in life, which is to sense detonation and remove timing should anything else cause detonation to occur. This is done with the input of a Bosch know sensor you can purchase with the unit or the existing Ford knock sensor if your car came with one. It works extremely well in my experiments. A great investment in keeping your expensive motor in one piece.

Please checkout the magazine article and I also have additional pictures of the J&S unit and it's install in an additional article on this site.

Thanks!! to Steve Baur of MM&FF, Matt Snow of Snow Performance and John Pizzuto of J&S for all the help on this article. They are great people and have great products. Also for Tony Gonyon for the donation of his shop and dyno time.

Welcome! 

Thank you for visiting Bullitt 5094's Site. The car is a low 9 sec street car with a best pass of 9.37 @ 147 MPH. It has full exhaust out the stock rear locations and has an extremely quiet exhaust note. It also has a T-Trim Vortech with "Q" gears that make the supercharger quiet too. It also has a fully-automatic 4R70W, overdrive lock-up converter transmission. On track runs I put it in "Drive" and let the EEC do the shifting for me. I launch the car from idle off the foot brake. Despite this, the car turns consistent nines in the mid 140 mph range. It doesn't seem like it's going that fast because it is very smooth and quiet. You'll notice that in the videos too. No muss, fuss or flash. It looks very stock and does it's "thing" with a lot of stealth. Something I worked very hard to attain. It is also very streetable with the overdrive automatic. Not an easy thing to achieve with a 753+ RWHP low nine second car. I could drive the car to the track, make a nine second pass and drive home without leaving the car. At a stoplight, you wouldn't have a clue what was idling next to you. Let's just say I have a lot of fun with the car around town.
I hope you enjoy the site and the videos and come back often!  Don't miss the Video section. The runs currently posted there are typical of what the car does at the track.
