i hoped someone would like my method of madness i want to make a bracket to put the noids under the lid even farther so you couldnt see them unless you took the box off, and put some split loom over the line to help it blend in better. not that any of it will matter when they see him get out to turn the bottle on or purge it out the front lol.

Thanks to Mike for the kit, Dave for the shifter and installing it!
Wow! Thats exactly what I would like to do if I decide to go with Nitrous. That engine bay looks perfect!

Where did you get the kit? (Mike @ WS6Store?) And where are you injecting it into the motor? Through the bottom of the airbox, through the air filter?

Beautiful setup. Nicely done, gentlemen.

Thanks man. It's the HALO kit from Nitrous Outlet. There is a "ring" that sits under the Lid that distributes the nitrous. It's a slick system. The Kit was actually a birthday present from MightyMike2000SS aka: Mike, on here and he did order everything from Mike at the WS6Store. Him and Dave are two of the most genorous people you will ever meet. Nice to be friends with them for sure.

Dave, I hate to bust your ***** but when we installed the nitrous on Mike's car I am pretty sure it was my idea to put the solenoids under there .

Not sure if I will get it tuned right away or not. Not goin to spray that big of a shot but I will make sure to log where the a/f is at. I will need to get my speedo changed sometime when I get the gears installed though. Also plan on buyin the 5.3's from mike this spring so I will eventually need a new tune anyway. How is your car comin Rodney?

Duff...

I live in a little town called North English. If you're familiar where Williamsburg is, I'm about 15 miles southwest of there.

Its still Southeastern Iowa, but not nearly as southeastern as Keokuk. Thats about as southeast in Iowa as you can get.

Have you guys read anything about the new 5.0 in the 2011 mustang? Seems like it'll be a nice set up. 411hp matched w/ a M6.

lol i doubt that my man. I just heard about that new set up from a friend so i thought i'd check it out. Should be an interesting deal when they hit the market.

What kinda Cam are you goin w/ dave? Decided against the Solid set up?

I suppose I could go with you, Dave. Not sure if I would bring the car, but we'll see. We can see how much hotel room and all that stuff would cost too.

Congrats to Ford for finally delivering a ballsy motor on the base GT. I will still take my used LS3 Corvette when I'm out of college though

It will be interesting to see how the new 5.0 does. My guess is that the power will be very peaky to squeeze that much out of a 5 liter mod motor. Be interesting to see if GM answers back with a direct injected LS motor.

I agree. It will be a PITA to mod & it will be allergic to power adders. I guess it works perfect for the Mustang owner that wants 400hp without modding.

It is a marketing ploy & to say the least, I'm skeptical of how good of a performance motor it will be.
