Default Project update... NEXT

As some of you may have noticed I've been quiet lately on my racing updates. Work has been dominating my time as I started a new contract managing the design and construction of a $400m project.

As established by my name, I'm always working on what's next. To say the least, I'm quite a bit excited about getting back to racing with some changes that are in process. I'm going back to my roots (strike up a little Southern Rock here for full effect).

I'm in the process of changing out my NOS pro race fogger and NOS progressive controller and going back to NX. I had great success with NX in the past and am looking forward to my new setup. The approach that I'm taking is going with an NX 2 stage plate system on a NX/FJO mini controller to time the stages. These parts will be married up to a Victor Jr intake with a 90mm TB.

This new change is just one more step in the progression of trying to going fast. I'll be posting up pics of the new nitrous system as it comes along.

Phase 1 - The intake is en route to NX to flow the plate. Watch soon for those photos to be posted.

Yeah, but do any of you guys have a small cube ls1 @ 3500 lbs raceweight that is driven on the street all the time and can drive over an hour to the track, swap tires, run low 9's, and swap back out and drive home?!

intakeelbows?

Are you doing a 2-stage/progressive for traction help or to save the motor? Just curious.

Dave, just trying to keep up with you and Tony.

Matt, What's that PSJ line?... when was the last time YOU went 9's (just fuggin w/ya)

RyanJ - First part, Yes. Second part - I don't have a traction issue, I've got a Madman I believe 2 stages help with cylinder pressure when your hitting a big shot.

Looks like you'll be getting an 8.xx soon.

Really? And you went 9.89 @ 135 with a cam only car and a 1.48 60'?

My car is a cam only car and I cut 1.48 60fts at the track.
If so, that's pretty damn good, but thought you'd need a much better 60' than that with only 135 mph to go 9.89!
