and the switch control panel,

and Cobalt gauges in the pillar, and shift light,

Does the fuel for the wet stage come directly off the fuel rail?

I like the corvette style font on the switch panel. Very nice touch to make it look stock ... or at least like it belongs there.

Damn Robert how big of a hit is that? One word of caution with SS tubing and fittings. If they vibrate for a long period of time where the tube flexes, they get work hardened and then snap off. I had a boiler project a few years ago and we hard tubed all the air lines going to the control valves. It all looked pretty and nice with the boiler cold and idle. But once things started up and things start moving we started having lines snap off of the regulators. Your install looks nice!

Yes, directly off the rail. I have upgraded pump/hot wire and added return and reg at the rails, so everything should be fine (fuel supply wise on all three stgs). Mounting directly onto the rail will aid in eliminating a lean spike on the wet hit.

Not everyone catches the font thing. Custom made by a fellow ls1 tech'er: Beer.

TJ, the combined hit at this time is 250rwhp. Am going to step to 285 then 300 on the stock ls6 longblock. I know what your saying on the SS tubing, however, this is a little heavier schedule tube. We use mucho at work on hyd systems, and as long as the piece is hard mounted to the vibrating item and then jumps to hose for the next route, then it's fine and we have seen no failures. Thanks for the compliment. Here's a link to a full descrition of this new kit, and any critque you may have would be welcomed.

Very nice Robert, looks very professional. I was admiring your laptop mount at the dyno day, how much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking? Are those solenoids carbon fiber?

Thanks Poik, Laptop mount was about $300 IIRC, and is for an F-body, Jotto is the brand. Yes, the NX stage 6 Noids have a Carbon Fiber lid.

Looks great man!

That means a lot coming from you Ellis, thanks. I will check for loosness.

Brad, would love to help any way I can, and thanks for the generous compliment.

There is thread going over at corvetteforum that ask's "Is nitrous cheating". For what ever reason many do think it's cheating, and some are even running blowers/turbos, makes no sense. Lot's of nitrous hatter's out there for sure.
Thanks everyone
