Not to take anything away from Jim's product but if you were running nitrous and had Sal's nitrous plate shouldnt you see some gains from that aswell? Granted Jim's looks like its a composite compared to Sal's metal plate which should contain the heat better. So I guess what I'm saying is "Hey Jim put some holes in the bottom of it and sell a version as a nitrous plate."
Sal's nitrous plate will make the runner length longer but it will not straighten out the airflow at the inlet of the supercharger.


Justin what is the going to be the price of the spacer? will it include longer bolts?
We are trying to nail that down right now. We are getting a quote to produce 100 of them and we also need to get a quote from our bolt supplier because you will need six longer bolts. Should have an answer in the next couple fo days.

Stan,

It was a blast tuning your truck. It makes me feel good knowing that when you put the truck int he record books that I could say I drove it. Even though I only took it up to 150 MPH I was very comfortable with how stable the truck was. You should see 180 with no problems, the truck was still pulling hard. I held 150 for three miles and still had room to go down on the throttle.

Jim, I have many resources for manufacturing all kinds of items, so if you run into a situation where you can't get the spacers made the way you want, or at the price you'd like, let me know and I'll see if I can help you out.

The secret undisclosed "JDM Proving Grounds"(TM) here in NJ.

We could tell you, but we'd have to kill you.

I think California is the only state that could give us a run for our money on the "asphalt per square mile" count.

No, Johnny had the prototype heads last year. Mine our stock heads with titanium valves. No cnc work whatsover. I can see picking up almost a half second with heads and the right grind. My truck should squeeze into the 10's with the current setup. Johnny was running 10.59 at the same boost level, the only difference being his heads. I think his new heads have even more work. Should be interesting to get a before and after. I am hoping to do it in the fall/winter of this year.

Jim had the same setup as I, no ported heads. His truck was flying! Charlie will have the same setup as I do, but with cnc heads and cams this year. This will give us an idea of the increase. I'm not sure which cams I am going with, so I'm going to wait it out.

I know another place

The upper pennisula of Michigan has a highway that runs east and west and is straight as an arrow for about 150 miles. the only thing you have to worry about is a deer jumping infron tof you. Probably not a pretty site at 150MPH.
I've NEVER seen a police officer out there, but then again they could see you coming 5 miles away.

When I built my motor, no one was doing heads yet. Don't forget mine was built well over a year ago. Built motors were still a new thing then. I still only have about 400 miles on the motor and just about 10-15 passes.
