Kit looks nice Martin. That's the same kit I have on my vette and I'm really happy with it.
Be careful tightening down the solenoids so it though as the little fingers of the bracket are very fragile and can easily bend. You might want to put in some small washers to keep everything nice and snug.
I wanted to put the solenoids right on the throttle body as pictured but it would have required a P/S reservoir relocation and some other stuff that I didn't want to mess with.
Subsequently, the bracket fits perfectly over top the solenoid bracket and stays put.
When is the inaugural outing?

I guess when you're not picked 1st on the kickball team it really does numbers to your attitude.

Inaugural outing will be soon. We are fabricating the fuel cell mount right now and I may even send the converter out to have a stator change made to try and take the slip % down a little. With the re-valve on the rear shocks made specifically for a 275 radial, the new kit, fuel cell, new Mickey Thompson tires, nitrous interrupt actually up and functional so that there is no delay whatsoever of the nitrous off the trans brake and quite possibly a converter tweak its going to be very interesting to see how things go.

Eye candy....this plate is going to hit so hard it's going to be a whole new experience. I've fallen in love with this set-up so much that I am going to splurge on a Holley Hi-ram for the new build with the 92mm top so I can use this plate still and lines they custom bent for me. Should have it next week and then the fuel cell goes in, fuel lines and trans can go back in for some much needed testing! Also putting the wider inner hoops on my rear holeshot wheels so I can run them at 12" wide on the new Mickey's I got.

)It's just a jig they came up with to mock up what I have as far as throttle cable and how to route the lines
And there is nothing written in the books about not being able to mix and match!
Matter of fact I'm most likely going to end up using this plate in RS275 and using it as a single stage, but using two .57n jets instead of a single .82n jet with a Holley Hi-ram cathedral port intake and having a set of spray bars done like the one in this forum that Trey@NX posted up or a direct port so I can run some SR275 and maybe some X275 stuff.

That intake is sexy! I got one like it but with the -3 hoses going to the dp nozzles instead of hard line. Been debating on throwing a plate behind the tb. Prob won't tho.

Looks sick with the new hardlines! Much nicer looking than the braided ones. How come the solenoids on the passenger side of the TB are opposite than the driver side? Are the solenoids designed to be oriented with the Nitrous Express logo on the top with the inlets on the left side I'm thinking?

Left side probably for blade clearance, and the noids would sit to far forward on the driver side to run the lines from the looks of it unless you wanted to run them back under and then up which would just make it more complex than need be. Plus on a car that has the EVAP still hooked up, the hard line from the EVAP solenoid is right there, but that's not a problem for Martin.

The Diet is so I can get the race weight back down from 2990 to 2970!
