I'll report back later with the results,
I can't get out of here for another couple of hours.
Of course I'm only Street testing it tonight.
The track will be April 12th.

I started cleaning up the Wiring. I found some Purple Tubing to cover all the Zex Wiring, looks cool if you asked me. I may use it to clean up all the Plasma Booster wiring next week, If I can find enough to do it.


I also decided to rip out my Galvanized Air box and 4" Tubing.
I found waaaaaay too much sand in the box and filter too, I actually think it's too big. It's bringing too much crap into the Box and Filter.

This is what the hose looked like


I got a new JL Box + Cover to install next week if it comes in time.
I decided to pipe it in 3" Stainless, I have plenty of room to work, but the connection to the box may be tricky. I happen to have that Stainless Stuff at work so I'm gonna give it a try.

OH YA, THE NITROUS IS TESTED AND FLOWING BABY

Well it's officially up and running
and probably 1/2 empty already

I will start by saying unfortunatly the beautiful summer like day turned into a 32 Degree night and the tanks been out there all day so it's now ice cold and it's clearly NOT giving full potential.

BUT I STILL HAD PLENTY OF FUN

Dropped off my kid, opened the Nitrous Valve, and took to the road. I switched to the Nitrous program, and first decided (since I have no traction to begin with) I won't attempt 1st gear Juicing
"YET". So I rolled out of a stop sign on this Loooooong empty flat road, put the shifter in 2nd (I never ever do that) armed the juice and brought in up to 3000 RPM, THEN STOMPED IT. It immediatly started smoking the tires and wound right up to red line and shifted 3rd gear. It happen so quick I couldn't even enjoy it, thats when I knew I needed a few more test HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE....

So this time I hit the main drag brought it to like 35 MPH and just stomped it, the sucker reved up so fast, that as quick as you can point your eyes at the Tach, it's already at red line and shifting another gear. YA BABY....

I can't even explain how fast it winds up, you look down at the tach and it's moving so fast, you'd think you in neutral. It like 3 4 5 thousand RPM that fast. The sound of the whine, and how fast
"and hard it pulls", is simply amazing. It's the greatest high pitch Whine I've ever heard, (I'm never putttin an exhuast on)
"I LOVE WHINE

Was it as neck snapping as I expected "NO IT WASN'T", but when you see and hear how fast the tach and motor is moving, you know your going faster in a shorter period of time.
65 HP Nitrous (thats the jets I put in) is no-where like the feeling of 150HP Nitrous like I had on my BB Chevelle, but then again, that had every trick in the book, and was well over 550 HP with the Juice.

My last test was a nice long uphill road where I could put it under a little load to see if I'd hear any Detonation or strange sounds.
I punched it and the sucker did the greatest and fastest high pitch wind up, I've ever heard. You got to see how fast the Tach moves, IT'S GREAT

BTW
""I already want more power""

But I think we got enough to have a nice summer. I got a mild tune so I'm sure it'll take a little tunning to get my 11, but I hope to be within 2/10's first try out on April 12th. I got to say that the Throttle Body and Plasma Booster have turned out to be quite a combo for quick responsive power, so I truly think with the new 28" Hoosiers, "and the juice spraying sub zero down the motor"
I will have some nice consistant times this season.


COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT
"ALL YOUR HELP" "EVERYBODY"
THANKS
