There have been a lot of various changes over the last few years with the car. Their has been a great deal of weight taken out since the 5.07 in 2009. The car weighed 3150-3170 back then and Friday night was around 2870-2900. Im not 100% sure since I was never at the scales with it because I was driving my other car. There have been a lot of different things done to the motor to make it live with more nitrous and hopefully respond better to more nitrous. I ran the 4.79 on 2 stages and still have the 3rd to cut on. I had ran my previous best last year on 3 stages so I feel that our changes over the winter could have helped us. I cannot go into specifics but some head work was done, cam changed and new headers were built over the winter. I have put a lot of test time into this combination and we race at a very competitive level so I can't just give out to much direct information. I am willing to help anyone with their program tho.
I am in the process of converting my SB2.2 nitrous motor from carb to EFI and dry nitrous, and am hoping it will help with some of the fuel distribution problems I have had in the past.

Thanks everyone!
Thanks Wayne, now get yalls back together! You got 2 weeks till Door Wars.
Yeah I spray dry thru both sides of one nozzle then there is a single nozzle under the intake. I have thought of going to a sheetmetal but can't justify the cost or the 50lb hit right now. It may end up coming to that sooner or later. We will be putting a new intake from All Pro on it in the near future to do some testing tho.
Thanks Brian, Im looking forward to it.
Thanks, its been a good car over the years. It has hurt my feeling a time or two also.
I have hurt or broke everything you can inside the motor lol. Mainly I was having a problem burning the heads but hopefully that has been taken care of. I have never burned a piston but I have lifted ring lands, pinched rings and messed the skirts up. It would take forever to tell you everything I have hurt at one time or another.
Good luck with your sb2.2 stuff. They are very finicky with nitrous. EFI will give you more tuning capabilities but its still tricky with that motor when you get to trying to make big power.

Wow I thought you only had 2 stages of nitrous I didn't know you were spraying 3 kits or even had 3 kits.
Are you using both sides of the fogger nozzle?
Do you think switching to a sheetmetal intake and 2x4150 would pick it up a lot and something you have thought about?

Thanks for the info. Im sure you were working very hard to get the car to run 5.0's, and to get down to the 4.7 is impressive. Prior to the changes that you made to the motor this year to help the motor live on nitrous, how many issues did you have? Have you burned anything up in the past few years?

Do you have any more pictures of the new forward facing scoop that is on the car? How much ET do you think it is worth compared to no scoop at all?
