I do have a question... the tach placment, did you mount it in place of the rear view mirror? if so, could ya get a pic of how it's attached... I have been thinking about replacing the mirror with a tach for some time, will be in a visable spot, but not hamper vision that way.

Thanks!
It looks to be mounted to the rollbar that runs accross the top there!

You're probably right... but I swear I remember seeing a pic of someone making a bracket to put it in place of the rear view mirror, it was pretty neat. The placement of the tach reminded me of that.

JUST.................PLAIN...........AWESOME!!!!


Hey I gotta question, I ran my fuel lines to the rails exactly like your's...but on the return side I screwed my regulator directly into the drivers side fuel rail, ran a line over from the front of the passenger side rail to the other side of the regulator and return out the bottom, see any dis-advantage to doing it that way?


Again SUPER nice!

Nope, its not Todd's old car.


The nitrous will be going on the car come summer.......I need to get used to the car on motor first, and then add the spray this summer.

hell you're probably looking at mid 9's on motor as it is with that beast once it' sorted out, damn good starting point IMO.

What are you gonna run on it for a nitrous setup once it's all done, or have you not decided yet?

I am going to run a Wilson Pro-flo system on the car. I may run one of their 360 degree spray pattern plates and see how it does. Supposed to be one of the best plates out there. By the way, the tach was mounted to a tab that was welded off the front of the cage near the windshield.
