pumps fuel into the engine with the nitrous.... I really didnt want to tap into the stock fuel lines, so I went with a dedicated fuel system for the nitrous.

Well I havent used the nitrous yet, I still need to get the bottle filled, but Im only going with a 150 HP shot, but I could imagine this fuel system would support alot more, if the engine could handle it...

I wonder how many runs you can make out of a gallon spraying 150. You have any idea? You gonna use race gas?

Definately sweet.

I spoken to holley and they said a separate fuel system like that will be more than enough to support my 300 shot. So I don't think you'll any problems.

we used a hand controlled ball valve hooked between the lil cell and the fuel rails, using a large nitrous jet allows you to fill it from the rails while the motor idles without killing it (this only works if you have race gas in the rear tank). This just allows you to visually check the level and top it off from the fuel rail like a gas pump.

using shots from 250-350 we got more than one run from it but we never pushed our luck and always topped it off unless we forgot maybe two total passes but never more than that I dont think.

I spray 200 on a regular basis. In a 1/4 I get about 5-6 passes. I have the same style setup as you, but I use an efi pump on mine and just regulate it down. I use a vortex t-rex pump..

Yeah thats the fuel cell I have right now, but I didn't see it fitting where you had it till you said you cut the bottom out. Thats what I had planed on doing but when I saw yours I thought you had another on that actually fit there. Thanks for the help though. Nice clean install by the way.

not to knock your idea because it worked so great but the hold down strap why angled? did you use an existing hole? it wouldnt fit the other way (straight) even if two new holes were made? Isn't that a metal strap for a toolbox lock? please let me know, good job!

yes i used an existing hole , but i also thought i could get away with one strap that way with it angled to go across more of the back of the tank. the strap is actually a gas tank strap off a chevy truck that i just cut to fit. it has been working GREAT until i tried the 350 horse jets and discovered that this engine did not have enough ring gap for that much NOS oh well , the motor was inm the car when i bought it . the next motor will handle it

right on!

Dude I don't think I will ever boost or juice the B4C, but I still gapped those babys just in case. The 412 was .028 on the tighter ones and .032 on the looser ones. I could have taken my time to get them all .028 but either way no smoke etc etc
