thinking this would be a nice home for meth nozzles, if a third ever becomes wanted/needed I'll give the same spacing, just closer to the blowoff

I like this better astheticly, also can put second solenoid right below it. For nice packaging. Cons are closer to radiator, and not as spread if that's makes a difference, figure it has plenty of time before throttle body to mix up with the air.


thoughts??

Yes sir. Slow and steady though.

Can you put the nozzles just a little more upstream but after the BOV?
Personally I very seldom consider the way something looks. As long as it works have at it.

They actually are upstream/after the bov, but I'm thinking more of on the inside radius of the pipe, when looking at snows pic of running multiple nozzles, they are spaced very far apart, so this should be fine

Figure i might as well post my pcv stuff as well, it's a subject that confuses the shut out of me, I think I might need to switch to a sealed can, but I think I have something that will work

So here's a finished trunk pic, prob do a sheet of aluminum that's removable, or maybe something clear and lit up lol
I added a charcoal canister because I don't want to deal with raw gas fumes should work out.in dealing with htdroboost/steering issue's right now it works , brakes will throw you through the windshield, but steering should be better

So not a very exciting day but a productive one, apparently the hydro booster I pulled out of the junkyard a few years ago was no good. So today I modified the one that came out of the donor van to fit my car and now I have brakes and steering again


Another thing I did today was at the 1x1 blocks to get it further off the firewall to get the pedal height inside the car back to what it was stock plenty of pedal travel still



Positive feel, throw you through the windshid=)

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This car is just plain cool! Having good brakes and steering is critical in a 4000lb+ vehicle. Great work seeing it through!
