Default It's coming...

...together quite nicely. Below are the pics of my new NX direct port plumbed by Nitro Dave. This was no small project as it took welding up bungs to receive the nozzles, machine modified the fuel rails and relocated the rail stands. The setup still has the plenum mounted spray bars as the first stage that direct the gas to each runner (custom design by Ricky at NX).

As soon as it showed up at Eastside they wasted no time and had it in the car. Getting close to being ready to rumble and can't wait for some heads up racing. The car will still retain it's streetability and will make any cruise.

I'd love to be able to give track passes to a passenger. Cars usually feel so much faster in that seat and I couldn't imagine what it would be like. The day that happens I'd want an in car video camera to record the reaction.

86 Iroc - I ran the car on pump gas in the main tank and some C16 in the nitrous cell when I made the pass in my sig. I don't think I'll try that again as I'd rather be safe and never really cared about trying to keep the car on 93.

Dave - I'm hoping you and I both get our cars ironed out here real quick and can make some passes together. I'll ride your draft and hope to keep up. We're definitely going to have some fun at the Street Nationals and I'm bringing the RV.

Dennis,

Yeah, I got more new performance stuff coming for sale that has only seen dyno time. The NX Gemini plate kit (carb style perimeter spray pattern nitrous kit), an FJO mini-controller and an FJO wideband controller with new 02 sensors. I should have this stuff ready to go on the market in a few weeks.

How's stuff progressing with y'alls setup?

When you find a track that will allow it I will hold the dang camera. LOL
