I've heard quite a bit about that also in the Nitrous section. Noyzee was talking about having flow issues with his. There was a thread called what plate or something like that not too long ago in there.

yup, that "F" style fitting on the front and rear for the side suply flows all to the end smooth 90* fitting, there for sending all spray and fuel to one side of the intake, there for creating poor flowing and distribution.
you need to make lines for it in more of a "Y" style inorder for it to flow correct.
looks good tho

doesnt matter how much or little spray you run, it all goes to one side there for possable issue . i flow tested with like 12 jets in it or somthing super small and 90+% went to the end side and did not flow to the other side in turn creating lean and fat cylenders. good luck if you keep it that way. keep an eye out on the plugs on 1 side

Well at the pinacle of it all im setting the jets at 300hp.

At this point im going to swap lines over. Made a few calls to confirm the tee theory so its time to change.

Some more from today.

I dumped the Aeromotive Y and swapped to a Magnafuel one, reason being clearance. Both stages FPSS are installed now too.

Ill need to cut the cowl a wee bit, nothing to bad.








So basicly at this point I need to run my Vaccum sysytem, install a dipstick and set the throttle linkage up. Start it, find the leaks and the its tuning time.

Tony.

Na, I remember that thread in admin section. Reverted back to that and got some more solid info.

Wonder if they make a hardline y setup?
