I was just told my car is on the banner of digital corvettes.com.I think it would be nice to have a c3 on the top of the c3 section etc depending on what section your in. Maybe someones car every couple of weeks. What do you think of that idea?

I just saw the new banner...... looks great!

I think it is great that a C3 gets top billing on something! I wish that at least the C3 section here would show a C3!

You must be a little slow Mike. I saw that a while ago and thought Patric finally spruced up the page.
You deserve it.

I never get tired of looking at that blown 632.

Mike crate that motor out and I will see what it will run in my 2200 lb. 63

You would have a 6sec ride for sure.I will need your advice soon,Im installing a nos blower plate system right now with progressive controller and digital 7 boost retard ,my goal is 2000+hp.Do you think I can y my main fuel line up front so one of the main lines runs to the nos fuel solenoid .It would be run with the same pump that runs the carbs. It is a pe pump set at 40psi up front then reg to the carbs. I would not reg the nos plate so It would see 40 psi when the solenoid opens. Im thinking my pump is plenty strong?It would make for a much cleaner install.The pump is 660gph per hour at 40 psi.You sure are making quick work of getting that car ready.Got the itch?

2000 hp, wow, talk about having the itch. I have no problem with the high pressure NOS fuel side, but remember you need to send the fuel through a regulator to compensate for pressure changes (G-forces) through the run. I know you know this and are probably slapping your self in the head going duh. It sounds like you have plenty of pump so that should not be a problem.

Most of the guys I know are not a fan of the progressive controllers. They flutter the solenoid and some guys do not like that. I imagine you are looking to control the power of that beast when you launch it on the blower and bottle. A lot of guys are pulling a bunch of timing at the launch and then feeding it back to the motor during the run via one of the 7531 MSD boxes.

With the amount of power you are looking to make I would consult an expert, you miss the tune and you will have some engine damage. No doubt for parts and great advise give my buddies over at nitrous supply a call (714 373 1986). Ask for Mike Flynn and tell him you are a friend of mine. They will get you all the parts for the best deal around. These guys really know their stuff; however for what you are doing you need the top guy (as far as tuning) around and that is Jeff Prock at Applied Nitrous Technology. I do not have his phone # but you can find it as his web site. If it is possible to get 2000 hp out of your set up he will know how to do it.

Good luck Mike

Thanks john. The engine wo nos is at 1680 hp. I was going to add a 200 to 400 under carb plate system with the big controller. Iam already pulling timing in first and would inject the nos after first gear at 25 percent ramping up to 100percent in 2 seconds.That way a overly taxed chassis is not hit so hard to cause wheel spin and loss of control. I will have a safety switch that shuts down nos flow if there is a fuel problem. This is run with 114 gas too. I will back off the timing at the same time nos is added by 6 degrees bringing it back to 26. I will also start with the 175-200 pills to see how that works.I also have a set of beadlock wheels being made to add some stability at the high trap speed.Let me know how your first outing goes with the new ride.It should launch hard.mike
