It does quit well really. It has a short reserve so I can not let things run for very long if the car is not running. But the flip side of that is it charges quick even on a 2amp charge. It is only 15 lbs and puts out like 800ca @ 80 degree's. But if you let it get a lttle bit low it will not start the car due to the msd box needing the spin the motor at almost 200rpm's before it will fire the ignition.

That is a sweet looking car. Same color too. I see you got something else sitting about it.. It looks like it has go fast parts on it.

Went through all 19 pages, nice build! Our four eye still has a ford engine in it, currently a hard filled 408 cleveland with forged internally balanced rotating assembly, aussie AFD heads and aussie funnel web manifold, HP 1000 carb. These cars have great suspension setups, ours is still basically stock under neath say for some moroso trick rear springs and some ancient drag shocks. Hell, it still has the 4-lug rear with 35 spline axles. Despite basically no suspension work at all, it leaves the line straight as an arrow.

Been thinking about putting an interior in it, but for an odd reason, weight. I don't want the hassle of getting my license and updating the cage for that mess, so I'm thinking about doing up the interior nice, yours looks really good inside. It's running 10.3 feathering the throttle after the 1/8 due to no gear, moving from a 26" slick to a 28", and it should slip down in the 9's. Don't want it there though, even with adding weight I might have to put the stop back on, bleh

Some pics, sorry for the thread jack, lol, might have got carried away eh?

That is a nice 4 eyed car. I like it. It looks like a serious bracket car..

It is a custom made drive shaft and the speedo does not work very well. I have a converter box on it but it is not calibrated properly.

I got the new retro fit oil pan kit in and started fitting it. It is hitting the steering rack a little. I cut a window out and will make a peice of alm plate to fill it in and have it tig welded.
The old pan only held 4 qts..

I also started fitting the n2o kit on the ne super victor intake. I'm mounting the n2o noid on the fire wall to make it easier to change the jets in the carb and the plate.

How is the throttle response and drivability with the carb, also are you just using the foot brake or do you have a trans brake?

I hope to see 9.70's on a 100 shot and maybe low 9's on a 200-250 shot.

It is very snappy. I didn't think it would be this good but a good carberator makes all the difference. The drivabilty of the car is great around town. It sucks on the hwy.
But with this super victor and a larger cam, I think it is going to kill the street driving manors a little more. But well worth it to me!

The tranny has a brake in it. It leaves like a missile and hit's hard coming off the brake at 4K+ rpm's. But the car will 60' decent off the foot brake also. Just can't launch it past about 2K to 2.5K rpm's or it will push the front tires.

I managed to do a few things to the car tonight. I put the new cut pan on my mock up block and set it in the bay to make sure my cut is going to clear the rack and it does just by about 1/4". Now I can go get it welded up.

I then started on the fuel system. I moved the reg for the carb from it's previous spot to the inner side of the strut tower. Now it is directly facing the carb and I can run a line out of each side of the reg to each bowl on the carb. Make sense? I'll get pics this weekend.

I also started scoutting out were I am going to mount the other fuel pump for the n2o. From what I can tell it is going to work best by mounting it on the inner parts of the drivers side frame rail. The pump for the motor is hung on the pass side inner rail. It will tuck up out of sight in this location and will make for a very clean install.
I'm thinking about mounting the reg for this system on the front part of the drivers side strut tower. It would be the shortest distance from the reg to the fuel noid. And would look clean in this postion..

Can someone tell me if this is ok to do? I have a Holley HP125 pump and I want to run a -08 in and a -06 AN fitting out through -06 hose to reg and the a -06 fitting to the fuel noid.

Is it ok to do -08 in and -06 out of a pump or will this cause some ill effect?

I got the bottle mounted and the dedicated fuel pump. I'm just about down to wiring and pluming the final lines for the kit. I hope the nano setup works out well this year.

The Holley HP150 is feeding the motor and the HP125 will feed the n2o kit.
