First, Dave you have got to stop doing that kinda stuff to me. That thing is so sexy that now I have to go home and change my drawers. Second, for those of you worried, don't be. Just because you have a fogger doesn't mean that you have to spray a huge shot on it to reap the rewards of a direct port design. While I have not used one on an LS1 I have used a fogger setup on MANY carb'ed cars and seen as much as a 3-10th gain on the same shot of N2O but swapping from a Big Shot to a fogger so I would venture to say that most any motor would benefit in terms of safety in that each cylinder receiving more of an equal amount of nitrous as compared to most any type of front mount system (single fogger or plate.). As such I would be willing to bet that much like a carbureted car an LS1 would pick up some speed as well. Ya'll take care.

PS-Thanks for the jets Dave, Courtney hooked me up as they got here right on time.

Its best to pull apart and paint afterwords. When the drill bit touches the plastic it may cause the paint to flake.

Yes we sell many different systems. However on a custom set up like this. It would be inpossible to do and get it to fit right. The rails do not come drilled and taped. The placement of the fittings in the rails and the angle nozzles are drilled will determain ecah inavidual hose. You could hardline. But to get pre made hoses would not work right.

Any gain/loss in using braided hose over hardline? Most DP/fogger setups I've seen used hard line which as I'm sure you know...sucks for plumbing.

Very nice setup.

If you don't mind me askign, what is the advantage of the rails that feed the nitrous/fuel jets, rather then using a distribution block style setup? Looks, or is there more to it then that?

The braided hoses cost a good bit more. However they make the jet changing a little easier.

O.K., I was wondering about that. When I'm ready to do a setup, I'd like to probably run the hoses, as I think they've got to be easier then the hardlines when it comes to changing the pills, so I dont' think that the rails would really be needed. Who knows, I've got plenty of time to think about it... Still gotts get the motor built and in the car before I have to worry abotu spraying the ***** off it

hey dave,

what size of tubing do you use to hard line everything? Not just this set up but everything? I'm assuming you keep everything the same size for convience?
