my goals this winter are to get a motor back in the car with a mild heads and decent cam package, and have it back on the road by spring! Mighty, I MIGHT have a 12 bolt for yah man. The guy hasnt decided on a price yet, but hes local here in CR. Im getting the motor for my car from him, and I think hes going to a 9 inch with bars. Ill keep yah informed.

Hey Mike, how's the nitrous? I havn't seen you since you put it on. Also how's your tune, is it any better since you sent Texas Speed your computer?

i had my first boo boo with the nitrous hahaha, i didnt attach the bottle heater on the valve so i ended up draining the bottle 53 bucks down the drain ..... hopefully i get it refilled buy this weekend. 68 degress on saturday sounds like perfect weather to use it. the tune is pretty good, its no dyno tune but it'll do. i can finally spin my tires all of first and second now.

so does anyone want to do something Saturday? meet up somewhere cruise around grab some food...

You did what? Did you overheat the bottle & blow the blow off valve?

the above sentence from mighty makes no sense. You dont attach a bottle heater to the valve........ It simply wraps around the bottle like a "blanket". Im not understanding exactly what you did. Unless like Jason said, you popped the burst disk.....

my bad guys hahaha on top of the bottle the valve or what ever, where the bottle pressure gauge gets mounted. There was a gold switch that allows my blanket to shut off when it reaches the right temp. I had to drain the bottle in order to attach it. im not really 100 percent sure if i really needed to empty the bottle. I dont really not that much about Nitrous this is my first car to ever have it.
