63 Mako- I can tell you put research into your build. It reads like a who who of parts. If you were to leave the line at what rpm would you launch? Is the nitrous tuned to spray at rpm's or do you spray on request as needed when street jousting?
I am still under construction so I don't know my launch RPM yet. The nitrous can be adjusted when to kick in and out with a window switch hooked to the MSD box, The white wire, electric tach wire activates the window switch. You don't want to run it under about 2500 RPM. It is hooked up first to on/off toggle. Then through a wide open throttle switch finally through the programable window switch to the solenoids. In a street situation if needed you can flip the switch on with your foot in it and it will activate as long as you are at or above the bottom setting on the window switch.
I know one day it will die (my engine) and I have already started designing my next engine. I have seen some articles on what you are saying and I am interested. Because the engine is together, I haven't dug into this particular area deeply or thought it out. It makes sense, and thank you! The one thing that I do want to avoid is expense. I bought the Phase 6 for about $1100 for the pair and have $1000 misc into the porting etc.. if I built the dream engine it would have the Brodix $2200 apiece heads, with a Tall Deck Bowtie block for longer rod and stroke etc.. But I have some money but there is the difference in my budget and the guy that does buy the Brodix and if I had Jay Leno money or 2% of his money. I would probably have someone build it for me. My wallet has limitations and I completely respect the guy who shops ebay, or the swap meets and has an eye for a quality good usuable part. I tend to get a new part, not the best ultimate part but I have looked over things laying in the swap meets. I picked up my stud girdles at a swap meet, etc. The rotating piece would make me nervous unless I could xray, or dye penetrant the part etc.. I have a few other things like one set of my hooker headers on my other car from the swap meet. I do want to win the lottery. I think we should all thrown in and buy a lotto ticket together because at least the money would be well spent. Ultimate engines for all!
Ya if everone had Lenos money we would all have a lot of toys.
Its hard not to like leno he is a car and motorcycle guy but he
is paid 26 milloin a yr, for that kind of money I could do without all
the gutter trash talk in his monalog. Carson was funny and he did
not stoop to gutter trash talk on TV.
