AC-- how come you aren't going to run Modified N/A? Are you just setting up everything for a bit hit?

Relist of mods! I see a few things have changed since you started... that intake should top everything off nicely, it's the only place I cut corners on my build...

I might change classes depending how the car runs. I just wanted to get registered early.

And work on your car in the cold, lol. Don't worry I've been needing to finish a few things on mine and not getting to it is becoming a trend.

I really dont have much to do besides swap out the a-arms and tear it down. As soon as I get it all back Ill be out there even if its below zero. BTW I do have a decent torpeedo propane heater, just lacking the parts to get motivated.

Talked to Dave at Nitrous Outlet to spec out the system and I had 2 choices on the custom spray bars. I could have done 50-300 in 50hp increments or 100-500 in 100hp increments.
I decided to go 50-300 to be safe for now but can always change them out later if Im feeling crazy. My noids are good to 500, but I figured 100hp hit will change the car too much while Im getting it sorted out. Also my Nano will only support a 250shot without stepping it up to the 4500psi kit.
On a 300shot the car will make around 750rwhp and that should be good enough for a while.

Ok Intake is done, flowed and on its way back to me. Dave from the Nitrous Outlet will do a write up/ with pics on it soon. Says it flows great. He also did a comparison with the Big shot plate and says its a huge difference. It will be interesting to see the results.
Also got an update on the short block. Block is getting worked on now and should have it within 2 weeks.

Ya you should have the motor pretty soon.

I also upgraded to the NANO 4500 kit today since the 3000 will only support a 250shot.
