Begining the head hog out

Yes, now that I do not need that 2.8 in one peice anymore, I am removing the heads, stripping them, sand blasting them, and going to begin the porting process for their installation next summer, along with the complete roller setup(Lifters AND 1.6 Rockers) and new stage 4 crower cam. Adjustable FPR, custom chip, oil cooler., boy it adds up quick.
Meanwhile I am searching for a 3.4 short block to begin prep work on as well.
Can we say POWER?
Hmm might even look at a sneaky pete 50 shot... of course once this gets going.. 3.73's.... hmm... gonna be a fun V6.

I suppose you're not talking about the NOS Sneaky Pete system, becuase it only supplies nitrous, no fuell. That's because it's meant for a carbureted car that's been tuned for a rich a/f mix.

I would say not really, the Holley dude says all our cars need is a return line gizmo, that restricts returning fuel and raises pressure. we only need nitro. that is with the 75hp shot system they sell.

If you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator you might not even need that gizmo.
