Holley regulator
Relays
Misc. Fittings
Bottle Blanket
Fuel Pressure Gauge
Jet Pack
Blow Down Tube
Fuel Filter
N20 Filter

NOS Nitrous Progressive Controller (used)
Blow off valve & adapter

Misc. Switches

Current Total: $1,310.00

I could have done it cheaper, but I just had to have it all the way or not at all. Also, the progressive is not necessary per se, but I am going to use it to protect my stock axles and hopefully my near stock transmission. If you take the progressive out of the equation, my number would be about $350 less.

Ive been away for a while, Tig, but that ball is still rollin down the hill !LOL. I will be looking forward to seeing some times.
I am going unnatural in some form soon myself. As soon as my 68 finds a new home, the 72 is going under the knife.
I asked about some blow through stuff on here but didnt get much response.I am leaning toward a forged 427 LS3 short block (with my stock LS3 uppers) and a conservative plate system, say a 150 shot. With the forged short block I should be plenty safe if I miss cue just a little.
Anyway , sorry about the slight hijak. Looking forward to some times from the buford.

Well, a 427 with juice ought to get it done LOL! They are just gonna throw me out the first time I hit the button anyway, but I just have to have that 10 second timeslip.

One of the problems with old cars is finding a place for modern electronics and switches. I needed a place for my nitrous switches, cooling fan override and lock up torque converter switch. For you non-smokers, here is my solution:



When the ashtray is closed. Nobody sees it.

Very Nice. My buddy used to wire stuff up weird in his 71' Skylark. He used original fan motor switch. Low=electric fan Med=electric water pump Hi= both

Looking forward to seeing you results on the spray. Thinking about spraying mine, but not sure with the stock slugs.

Good luck

For whats its worth I am spraying a 250 shot on a stock bottom end 5.3 and was spraying 150 before that and was just teasing it.

Very slick! Especially the progressive. What is it mounted on? I like!!!

It is a compound spring loaded hinge from home depot. I was just checking out what they had and there is was. The perfect hinge.




The cool part is that is not only rotates but swings out. So, in the car it drops down.

After I had the hinge, I just made a mounting plate from aluminum for the controller and a bracket to mount to the dash structure.

tigger, take montes advice on the tune for this setup. rich is NEVER safe, more people burn motors with rich tunes than any other tune-up. stick to the lean/ low timing tunes if you want the engine to keep a set of pistons. 90% of the time people blame a burnt hole on being lean, and 95% of them are wrong......been there done that, the correct fuel tune along with not running the timing on the edge is a recipe for alot of passes with little hassle.

I plan to follow what Monte and Steve say closely. I know they know what I need to know.

Awesome. I may have to "borrow" this idea from you when I go to mount a progressive in my car. Not that I can really "hide" anything in my cockpit full of switches and gauges, but it makes a great way to make the progressive accessible when it's needed and out of the way when it's not. Again.....very cool!

Installing the nitrous forced me to do something I have been avoiding for a year.

I had to install a secondary fusebox. Musclecars have very little in the way of a fuse box. So wiring quickly becomes a cluster. Painless Performance to the rescue...... Now I have a place to properly wire my cooling fans circuit, lock up torque converter, shift light, nitrous etc.

As mentioned, 250 is safe on these as long as the tune is right. When you gonna spray that thing? Cannot wait to put the 150 on the TA after I dial it in on motor.

Taking care of a lot of little things right now. Gotta get this re-wire done and finish up re-doing the front brakes. I had a sticky left front caliper that actually completely destroyed the brake pads in 2,000 miles. I wonder if that affected my MPH? Also, I want to re-tune the 950HP carb N/A at the track since I got the problems sorted out.

I am dying to see if my TA picks up over the RS with the automatic, so hope we can both get some results soon!
