Hows it been going guys....I'm getting rid of the spray... More N/A cubes in the works

This is the same kit advertised on HSW site, but with some extras. I have ran it for a while now and its had a few bottles through it but nothing's hurt at all... My plans have just changed for the truck. This is a whole matching kit.

includes:

10lb bottle, w/gauge
Bottle heater
Bottle brackets
Fuel/nitrous solenoids
Purge solenoid and hose
sudden impact wet nozzle
all associated hoses
WOT micro switch
blowdown tube (custom bent for my application) required by NHRA
BMN digital window switch (mounted but never wired up)
bottle heater and arming switches
momentary purge switch

I'm sure I'm forgetting something

First one with $425 takes all of it New this stuff was about $900 all together shipped if I recall.

I'm going to run it with a different cam and worked heads and go for the ext cab 5.3 record (12.8 @ 102) once thats done, then its getting a 3.898 bore, new intake, and supporting stuff... I want to go 11's on motor in this thing. I know its do-able with the 4.8/5.3 block, just nobody's done it... yet. even if I have to go with more stroke, I want to do it with this block... just a personal goal I guess.

It went 13.3 @ 102 with a 2.43 60' last weekend on the nitrous tune up, cold plugs, and very little weight reduction... I havent sprayed this thing in forever it seems, but, as fun as it is, I'm actually not missing it. Last time I weighed it the scales said 4020, and I still had the hitch on

first things on the list though are more tuning and suspension... I should break into the 12's just with those.
