The nano thing I don't personally like. The drop in bottle pressure at the end of a run can be enough to save an engine sometimes.... there will be a different timing curve needed too with that, at least to get the absolute most out of it.

Plus you have to fill the nano bottle and the nitrous bottle now, which can be a pita too.

I just like changing the bottle every run, or every other, depending on what you're doing. When test/tune I will run one twice, but at any race event, change it every run. Fast cars, change 2 every run, fwiw.

Got my intake back yesterday and its easy to see why a spray bar flows much better than the big shot plate. The bar sits a lot lower and the spray holes are directed at each port much better. Ill get some pics up of the intake soon.

Ya Im excited to test it out. Also ordered the trans cooler, Madman dipstick, flex plate. Still waiting on the short block so I can do the final cam specs and order the TC. Oh I also decided to use a PTC converter over Neil Chance after speaking with Madman about it.

Just curious, are you going for the longest short block build in history?

Yeah no **** you're not putting anything exotic together what is taking so damn long? Jesus even with the slow *** machine shops we have in CT I could have had all the machine work done, and assembled it myself, hand fitting every bearing absolutely perfect myself in my garage by now... and I work a full time job and am busy on top of that LOL.

He is in very high demand and is very meticulous at what he does .My build is a little out of the ordinary with lots of special stuff done to it .Mike was just put in line and he is that busy. He is basicly retired and does this stuff just to pass time but is incredibly good at what he does.

Yes its taking forever but in the end it will be worth it. Eric is very meticulous, I gave him a brand new bored and clearanced block for the build but after looking at it and doing some measuring he decided he could do a better job with a fresh block.

Plus Its kinda nice knowing the guy building the fasted LT1 in the world is also doing mine.
