Bug the hell out of Ricky until he tells the machinist to make it happen

needed tools for kit install: allen key for MAF dissassembly, drill for switches, drill for bottle brackets, 2 wrenches for bottle bracket installation, screwdriver to remove interior parts to run wires.
Total time : 1 to 2 hours.
A 5 year old that can put together a model could install it... that alone should bea big enough sellign point to make it happen!
Rickey, get on it man!

I would not want to put up with all the BS you have to (like dealing with me and the others, 
). This is what I see Ricky doing most of the day, 
, haha. I wouldn't mind having the R&D/Prototyping job though...I would even do it for the same pay just to be able to design and play with products.I also retract my previous statement about bugging Ricky. Everyone leave him the hell alone so he can get these parts finished for you guys.....and so he can finish that car of his
Damn, and I thought I jsut got the go ahead to bug the hell outta someone.... damn.
If you need a test car for that setup for the 3 piece MAF, lemme know, I'm in good with a shop taht would be more then willing to do something with ya, they are nitrous guru's over there at Eastside, I'm sure they'd love to see the setup and do a before and after dyno results and all that for ya.
I'd be happy to give ya real world track #'s with it on and off too.. give me an excuse to go back to the track

Way too much money just to start a fuel jacuzzi in your plenum. I would never run a wet system on an LS1 and especially not spraying fuel there. A simple nozzle and a single solenoid can do the job twice as good in dry configuration.
I also wouldn't run a MAF either, but that's another story. Thing looks to be only slightly more restrictive than the usual MAF gear.
Let's see:
overpirced check
restrictive check
can't hide it check
fuel jacuzzi check
backfire in intake pending
I qualify my overpriced statement by comparing it to equipment for a dry system that will do a better job. No matter what it costs, it's too much.

Or add pure oxygen when you light your cigarette...after your nose is relocated explain again why excess fuel is required for an explosion. Buzz word here: Catalyst Last edited by cantdrv65; Jul 17, 2005 at 04:28 PM.

Only cars that came with the newer one-piece MAF sensor (2001+ Corvettes) or other cars that have been retrofitted with the one-piece MAF sensor can use the new MAF system.

HP flow number with solenoids intact as seen in pictures was maxed out at 235 hp 
, So the jetting max will be a comfortable 200hp. Still flowing for the larger noids, should end up around 350-400 hp 
.....
Now I am faced with a delema.
I would like to know if yall would like to see inbetween jetting come with the kit....
Right now I have flowed jetting hp as follows.
35-50-75-100-125-150-175-200. All these setting might be in kit from the get go.

I say do a generic jetting of 50-75-100-150-200 to keep the cost down...unless the extra jetting isn't going to me much more...in that case, the more jets the better.
P.S.
The kit looks
nxricky= is that made on a 3 or 4 axis cnc mill or what?i'm a machinist so now i have ideas i'm pondering on.lets see here=6061 90 mm tb w/built in noids YEAH !!!i'm probably just dreaming.
I'd include the 75, 100, 125, 150 175 jetting... anyone wanting to run more then that probably shouldn't be looking at this setup anyway, they should be looking at a direct port... but that's my opinion. A setup like this is a good looking piece, that will go on alot fo show/shine cars, and cars that are street/etrip, probably won't end up on too many race cars. Usually guys with race cars that run nitrous are either running large amounts, 200 plus, and are going for big runs, where a DP is the best route, are tryin to ad a little bit onto a head/cam or the like type car, or are doing it in a stealthy manner that noone will see.. this could work for the 2nd choice, but either the first or the 2nd.
Myself, a guy that wants to get his car into the low 11's on motor, and run mid 10's on the hose, with a car that will be going to more car shows then it will race days, could probably put this to good use.

Hmmm...Will this be my third stage which is ready and waiting (partialy installed=wirinng/sws, supply line etc)? or do I split up a pair if redundant noids and go dry/dry/dry? Ran a 11.73 tonight on a 50rwhp dry hit on new clutch with mild launch.
