That too but that is not the only problem I am seeing. I am thinking more along the lines of nitrous/fuel distribution problems since the bar is not running parallel with the intake runners.

There has to be 2 bars, or this wont last 2 seconds.....one ultra rich side, one ULTRA lean(BANG) side

How do you take it off, it looks like the bar goes through the plentum divider?

yes guys 2 bars , one for nitrous, one for fuel. Just like any other wet kit .

I have personally see plate kits set in the same configuration. I don't see a problem, i'll let you know by Monday how it works.

I have only sprayed it on the street so far, it seems to work very well, the car ran 12.76 on motor i'll spray it at the track next month.




If you want to see melted engine parts, then blow your own stuff up.

There is clearly two bars there. Even the description in that holley link refers to the spray bars in plural. I can take a picture of my sniper kit if you really want see.

I know someone running that Holley kit, it has 2 spraybars. All those pics, 2 spraybars.

Do you think fuel that's under 50 PSI is going to hold up pushing against nitrous that's 1000 PSI in one spraybar?

"under 50 PSI" covers carb apps, spanky.

Under 50 denotes all numbers BELOW 50. That would be negative infinity -> 49. Now 7, 10 and all numbers in between, are BELOW 50.

This now qualifies as the BIGGEST generalization I have ever seen.

Its like saying "where do you set your tire pressure" Umm, somwhere between negative infinity and 50 psi.

If the world worked like this, math wouldnt be needed and no one would ever be wrong.

It's not that general when you consider that it's going to be trying to push against nitrous that's 20 TIMES it's pressure. In this situation, it doesn't matter if the fuel pressure is 7, 25 or 50 PSI.

The only other fuel system that runs with a pressure well below 50 psi is TBI, and its rather rare to run a nitrous plate on TBI, therefore its a given that he was talking about CARBS. Not exactly a generalization, but thats besides the point since he's referring to the fact that 50 divided by 1000 is a significant number, much less 5 divided by 1000 in terms of pressure variance.

Last time I checked 50 psi was less than 1000 psi. Wich would also mean that 1000 psi has 950 psi more making the pressure 95% stronger... Now if 50 psi was pushing against 1000 psi what would happen, those that have a common sense will figure it out, the same concept goes for carbs with 7psi...7psi..1000 psi...yea um yea.

2 bars.
