if anyhting i would buy a zex nitrous kit.. their plate system is open w/o the bar in the middle for better flow and dispersion. i dont plan on going FI for a while( like until i come upon some money or FI comes down to carb price)

That is VERY impressive, IMO. I don't know why no one gave it any recognition. That's a sweet setup.

Hey, I just remembered. Didn't you need a number
or something off my Ram Jet motor? I couldn't
remember who PMd me last time about that until
now. I apologize for not getting back to you, my
PC got infected and took weeks to clean up and
reinstall everything! Gotta love the internet!

Would polishing (sanding) the hot side like that reduce its heat disapation by reducing teh surface area? Or would it not be worth mentioning.

You don't want to lose heat out of the turbo anyway.

haha how does Shafiroff feel about you running nitrous on that engine? The way I understand it he is a wierdo about that stuff. "You should just buy more motor for $XXX,XXXXXXXXXEXES! dollars, not use nitrovs!"

I don't blame you. Even if I had a 6 second all motor ride I would still wonder what it would do on the juice.

Its like the saying from that movie "Half Baked", but changed around a bit:

"You ever done a bad *** 434??"

"You ever done 434 ON NITROUS!?!?!?"

I had the motor built to use nitrous. I never heard of him being weird about it. He builds plenty of nitrous pro mod motors.

work in progress

Since buying a house, $$$ is running low. Making slow progress...Trying to get the damn passenger side headers to fit. I ordered some tubing bends..decided to make my own. Get the rack/pinion set up and finish installing the brakes. I decided to go with N2O(since I have everything) for now and 1-2 years(the old lady will be done with RN School next summer), then the F3M or a 101mm will be going on. I would get more work done in the evenings..buit its damn hot weather. Heres some progress pics

First pic...where it started

I thought someone would ask. Runs bad *** though... and yes I have two alternators. I did not feel like wasting money on a stupid a/c delete pulley ($75.00) so I threw a old spare alternator to take its place. I am going to redo the t-pipe into a smooth Y, although I know it does not hurt me in any way. I am very happy with my setup's power output.

Kinda confuses people when they see two alternator. I like seeing the look on peoples face when they realize it.

Keep up the great pic posts
