put in a couple more hrs on the dry kit today

I have everything routed and mounted. The only thing left is the 685 ignition box and wiring the system... 3-4 hrs and hope to get time Sunday to wrap it up.

Like it's going to kick some ***, and I have a lot of catching up to do.
Do you still have someone to build me a econo nitrous shortblock in the future? Rick
PS don't forget to put the box somewhere it can breath. I hear they don't like heat or no air circulation.

yes..we can set you up when the time comes

The box is going inside under the dash. I had Jim weld a tand off on the HVAC plate to mount the box.

I thought people would ask if I posted the wrong pic since the only thing you can see is the nozzle if you look hard enough....here are a couple more pics

CLEAN install so far, and I'm sure it will be top notch when finished. Since I couldn't see it, I had to guess where the nozzle was.

Yeah, I think the bottle in the back seat area ''MIGHT" give the stealth look away. Unless it's one of those deals where the guy says, look, I'll take it out and has one in the spare tire compartment. Personally I don't play that way. I happen to dislike getting my *** kicked or have my name trashed for a few hundred bucks.

Looks good Larry, nice clean install.


Oh and I think it's easier to get a hold of you here than at the shop.

No kidding, and you go to the shop and he's looking all official sitting at his desk, acting like he's actually doing something.
J/K Larry, you work some long hours and always take good care of my car.

BALL BUSTERS

I am decent at multi tasking so replying to emails and posts while on calls is getting easier. + it is slower these months then the spring summer time where I go crazy.

Sam... 255 intank , stock stee lines up to where factory pastic goes to rails. I then converted to AN up to the stock rails as well.

oh yeh...got the nitrous completed today and it looks good and most importantly works

no dyno # until later

I also ordered a 6 pt bolt-in Wolfe bar yesterday

Sam.. The bar is about $1000 installed. We actually make next to nothing after paying the shipping from Wolfe to the shop.

Butch.. yes a bar and adding weight to the car everyday I figured get it and not deal with being kicked out of GLD during the summer.

Mihaljlo.. Thanks man, I have really worked hard on the car to get it where it is. The car will most likely be gone next week and not back at the shop until spring.
