Gator...Brandon has started doing the exhaust stuff on an appointment basis. Im sure if you want something similiar you guys could come up with something. Bullets or the flat Spintech type mufflers...or anything with a 3-3 1/2" case would probably do. Maybe even the Edelbrocks.

OMG that is one sick setup..also I was wondering if you had to do anything to your floorboards for those mufflers to fit? I also am doing true duels, but I was going do the 2 bullet mufflers.

Nice Pictures Al. I think I have an idea how you've made that intake...Pretty cool. Your nitrous system is simple I agree. So the lines off of each solinoid go to there own nozzle!

Thanks

Lol...ok..the two bottles in the back..here we go:

The black one is nitrogen...serviced to 2500 psi. It has a regulator to regulate the output pressure. The output pressure line is plumbed into the neck of the NOS high flow valve. In between there is an NOS powershot noid controlled by a monentary pushbutton on my nitrous panel. So....I open the nitrogen valve...regulate the output pressure to 1175 psi. When the NOS pressure is low...I hit the button up front and "bump" up the NOS pressure to the desired level. Takes about two seconds...pshhhh..pshhh...1100 psi...good to go. Basically a fancy nitrogen push system.

I am going to wire the nitrogen noid to the WOT switch so when Im spraying its always maintaining pressure during a run. Right now I just bump the pressure up after each run for convienence. Its a street car and I sometimes cannot wait for the heater to bring pressure back up. I raced an 800 rwhp Supra about two weeks ago back to back to back three times. Had I not had this I would have been in big trouble after the first run.

I have found no evidence that nitrogen dilutes the NOS. Back to back runs with and without nitrogen have yeilded the same result.

Nitrous Works actually sell a nitrogen push system.

Right now a 250 shot dual stage dry 125/125
I will probably use a wet for the second stage soon though.

Hmmmm...... is that a modified 'stock composite' intake? If so, is the upper portion removed to shorten the runner length?

From a 40-140 race I put about 6-7 cars on him. He has quite a bit of lag and mine hits like a freight train on crack. I was out three cars before I shifted to third. We went from a 70 roll and I still jumped out about 2-2 1/2 cars. We went from 60 again but I was so excited I forgot to dial up the nitrous pressure...he got me by a fender. Thats why I now have the solinoid and pushbutton instead of having to reach back and dial up the regulator.

I rode in the Supra later that night....let me tell you...from 140-200 mph that thing is sickening. Anything over 1/4 mile and he would start make up ground.

Way to go Al I bet your shooting for 700 at the wheels with the wet system on it??? Oh by the way, what head bolts or studs are you using and what gaskets?

Thanks
