Re: my 422 install... How about a bigger MAF?
Underdrive Pulley?
Who is doing the tuning?
Sounds like a good combo. JPR always delivers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: my 422 install... The maf is bigger, its nx's with built in delivery. Joe is getting the tunning done for me. And pullys are on back order right now. Thanks though forgot about that.
Re: my 422 install... With that monster motor headers, oryp w/loudmouth you might want to invest in some ear plugs. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> Keep us posted when that thing hits the street. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

ORY with Dynatechs headers and Corsa on my car sounds prostock when stomped. Loudmouth will be too much.
Other thing - would consider going built auto over manual tranny with the amount of torque you will be generating. Gets way too easy to break stuff with a stick at those tq levels.

The best way I can think of explaining it - it acts like you all of the sudden could go to 1.5 times full throttle. In effect, that is what you are doing - nitrous = more oygen = more fuel can be burned.

Re: my 422 install... Subframes are on the list they are BMR. Pully descion will have to be made soon though. Already have an ls1 intake on my car so that will be reused. Viper thanks about the how the motor looks aswell.

Re: my 422 install... I added a t-rex inline fuel pump to my 422
setup, On my 100 shot I was neaning out around 5200rpm without it.
bottle heater, and remote opener. I run an MSD rpm window switch, but it looks like you got that covered with your progressive controller.
You also forgot your airbag, I assume you are running that monster at the track. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Have fun.

Re: my 422 install... Did you just say you were using as LS1 intake on a 422?!?! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> I hope yuou meant you laready have a LS6 and that's what you're reusing! I can't understand why you spend $10-15G on a motor and not drop $400 on an intake otherwise. Same for the pulley, ATI or ASP?!! No choice, ATI!!!
