New pics of ARE Dry sump and nitrous system

You aren't going to like that gemini plate. Nitrous express is really lacking in their nitrous system efficiency. I know several people that have hurt their engines with those plates, and other nitrous express plates. Good luck with it.

I have heard from others that the pre-made lines that come with the plate system distribute almost all of the nitrous and fuel to one side and the other is left with hardly anything. If you notice in a few of the pictures, I re-bent new lines from the solenoids to the plates so that both sides would get equal flow.
So far the system hits extremely HARD on just a 100 shot.....enough to put me on the bumper my second pass So far the plugs look great, fueling is dead on( a tad rich to be safe) and the motor seems to love the nitrous.
Thanks again guys, I actually spent alot of time trying to figure out how I wanted the engine compartment to look once I was finished......so far I am very satisfied

Your set-up is simular to mine. I have the same nitrous plate and re-bent my lines also. That kit hits really hard.

I am going to be trying the 200 or 250 shot in a week or so. I am really looking for an 8.8X pass before winter. I have said from day one that I wanted to run 8.80's with the car, and it might be closer than I think.

well, from you current numbers it looks like the car rips on motor, and runs strong on spray. however it almost seems to me with the spray your converter might be blowing threw. my car went 9.9 on motor, 9.3 on a 100 shot, so maybe your tuning with the 100 shot needs work or your converter needs work. seems the car is working well tho, and good luck for sure. im sure it has 8.8 in it, and more if the converter/tune is touched up.

I will know for sure on the blowing through the converter when I put 200 to it. I might be going out this weekend to test the 100 shot a few more times and see if I can get down in the 9.40's with the cooler weather. The 9.52 was made in 88 degree weather, and its supposed to be in the high 50's this weekend. I know the tune is on the safe side, and thats where it will probably stay for now.
With a 29" tall tire and 4.56 gear, I was going through the traps at 8000-8100. On motor I think I was going through at 7500-7600. I might be pulling the converter out this winter too, but I will know more after after couple track visits.

good deal, sounds like she is ripping. i know it took me a 9.3x with the 100 shot to go 8.9 on the 200. i did lift on that 8.9 pass tho, stupid bracket racing. lol
good luck for sure, car ir working!!
