Well been messing with the new intake and adding 2nd stage of nitrous and here is some pics.I know its still in works but people told me I should of posted stuff with the things done last year.Also working on some other things that I will put up when closer.Trying to give custom look and set apart ran a 11.42 last year and hope to flirt with a 10.9999 this year!!!(not only w/25 added)and cardboard isn't staying waiting for polished radiator shroud

Very nice! That polished shroud will look really good in there as well!

What other performance mods do you have planned to reach the 10.999

[kyleozzie]

[OIF1VET]

Looking good as usual!!

i like the cardboard, shows you really know how to own a fbody lol looking good man! keep it up

[01badbird]

Man if you liked the cardboard should of seen when I had aluminum foil there instead!!lol Thanks guys means alot!!Well couple things that I hope to make it go faster is the 25 shot and also running 3.23 now but have 3.42 set sitting around that if I get up the nerve to install (just to pricey to have done) and hoping in next few months when my work van gets paid off running some 15's with skinnies and more aggressive tune and a big tail wind lol.Hoping to have the set up done late june early july to make some runs at milan so I can get dailed in.We go down to Ames Pontiac Nationals in August and bracket race that weekend and we end up going a few rounds but hard to read car when everything just put together in time to attend and just a few time trials.Also working on couple of apperance things and some of that is coming today!also trying to come up with "box " that fits behind opening in hood so when you shut hood it seals but also waiting on news when shroud will be in.while I'm thinking of it I'll be getting some nitrous hose made to go from noids to nozzles and everything else is alum. hose/ alum. ends (doesn't show wrench marks as bad) so thinking of staying with alum. ends but red hose for fuel and blue hose for nitrous or would that offset everything?

switching from 3.23 to 3.42's is like going from 1 ply tissue to 1.1 ply tissue, get the 3.73's, and if its a stick hit 4.10's. i have 3.73 ring and pinion im getting rid of for $75 just a thought, that will help you go faster. guess the air thing dont look as bad as the initial pics when you were looking at the blue one.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Agreed, I don't think you'd see any gain from that gear swap so get 3.73s or just save the $. Another thing I'm curious about is why not just put 125hp jets in the kit instead of adding a whole second stage? Seems like a lot of work for a very small shot.

[01badbird]

really would like 3.73's but only have 3.42 laying around and like you said for the $ ? I got the 2nd nitrous free and already have 2 stage controller but agree alot of work and probably will run a 125 on 1 stage at track but might wire so I can have 25 or so on switch (shifter?) to spray on streets without having to take out timing for every 50.also had some runs last year where she wanted more so maybe still have lil squirt towards the end of track?

[DETROITMUSCLE]

ok makes sense and if you got a 2nd stage for free then might as well make good use of it 3.73s for $75 from Ron if you really want to make the swap, thats cheap.

[01badbird]

well been busy messing around with a few things and thats why I haven't been on for while.just got new bird for front plate area and seen this on tech so gave it a try.hoping to be lil brighter when installed (12 volt instead of lil batteries) sorry for bad pics but wanted to get up asap.well gotta get back in garage to run some wires.
