I wanted to run it on motor first is why...I'm pulling 5 degrees of timing out on a 100 shot which is more than enuff.....I'm running 32 deg from 3000 rpm up on motor...I noticed you were running 2 pumps, me too...What kind of fuel pressure on motor and on the spray side if you don't mind me asking...Just wanting to compare..

im running 2 holley blue fuel pumps, the thing is with these cheap regulators and fuel pressure gauges they tend to fluctuate alot, especially when there hot. so their hard to read at different times. i usally set them when the cars cold. the carbs pump is set at 7-8psi. the nitrous pump is set at about 6-7psi (while its being sprayed) mean when i flow the fuel side of the nitrous the lowest the pressure drops to is 6-7psi. so if i jus turn on that pump and leave it on the pressure will build up pretty high, but thats not my concern cause its only on when i turn it on to actually spray it. my concern is how low it drops while im spraying it. the first time i spray it i left it with the original ac delco plugs and burnt the strap off #1 cylinder it was to lean. now i got NGK #6 plugs in it and 10* of timing on the 150 shot. ino its alot but ima start backing out the timing slowly, or jus go up in shot. for now i try to flow the fuel side of the nitrous before i run so ino its rite where i need it until i do better regulators and gauges.

i got schoenfeld 1 3/4. but i had to learn the hard way that they suk! the driver side fit perfect but the passenger side didnt fit for nothing in the world!!! i had to get an old big block header and cut off tubes #2 #4 #8 and re route them completely. it was even harder tryin to get it to go under the a/c box and the main issue was them hitting the LCA.

Yea tell me about it. I dont know how they sell them as fitting this chassis. I ended up going with the BRP Hotrods long tubes, expensive but fit awesome. I lost my patience with the Scholenfeld. Looks good man.

thanks man. i thought the alternator was gonna be a mission cause its different from the one we got on the box but it wasnt. all i did was connect the fat wire from the battery to the back of the alternator and it start charging, i got the 2 wire clip connector that goes to the alternator but it doesnt need it, it didnt make a difference when i hooked up the ignition wire to it. it charges without it like a 1 wire alternator. the box has the other style alternator and it needs both wires the constant fat battery wire and the ignition wire that goes to the 4 wire clip on top.
