I have a Sportsman Fogger in mine. I run the 100 HP jets on the street. I will post some pictures later.

I assume you guys are all running electric pumps. Are you using the electric pump for the carb and nitrous or just the nitrous.

Speaking of Nitrous Oxide...How do progressive controllers work? Aren't solenoids open or closed deals? You can't open a solenoid part way can you?

If you can, I'm going to build my own controller, whereby it monitors wheelspin and reduces the shot if they're spinning away.

My guess is that they control the amonuts of nitrous before the solenoids. Just a wild guess.

I think the progressive controllers control multiple selonoids. You start off with a small shot then add some more then top it off with a little more. This way you do not shock the tires to much with a huge shot of nitrous.

gordon...I just installed an electric pump for mine...its for both the carb and the NOS, but its good for 130GH and 14 psi i think....should be plenty..
are you considering adding a shot?? :D

ddn, One of the best controllers IMO is the Jacobs Nitrous Mastermind. It pulsates the solenoids ot allow NOS and fuel in a different proportions in relation to RPM. It also has safety features that shut off the NOS 200 rpm before a rev limiter that is also internal i believe. lot of greatt features....here is an image off of their pdf brochure...their site is down irght now, but you can get all the imfomation from there....http://www.jacobselectronics.com or http://store.summitracing.com/produc...earchType=ECat

I'm pulling fuel from the schrader valve on the fuel rail. My pump puts out about 60+ psi. That baby sprays like a garden hose.....
