Anyhow, that looks like it'll be one hell of a project, and a hell of a lotta fun when completed!

This IS the darkside to a nitrous guy and you can`t get any more N2O then " BTL FED" for a screen name. I bet a nitrous car will have a hard time keeping up with that car when its done.

Thanks Caveman. It's served us well thus far. Doing some testing this weekend, and looking for a few low 6 second passes. And yes, it is definitely a front motor.
