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.

remember head and eyes straight forward, eat fast, grow some thick skin (cuz the d/s WILL say some f'd up stuff about you and your family) and don't laugh when it's said to others cuz you'll end up doing push-ups till he gets tired. hell you'll be doing push-ups just cuz. i know. and lastly, be the grey man ( don't be the person who stands out by bragging or whatever) just blend in the wall and let others be the comic relief.

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?

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.

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.
