Re: header size for spray
Doesn't look like you're getting any rapid help here. I don't have a lot of knowledge with nitrous but I'm trying to run it and having a hard time. My suggestion to you is run the headers you have, establish a performance level, then if you think it's not up to par, increase the header size and see ...

Re: Dipstick problem?
Back in '66, I had a '65 Impala, 283, that did the dipstick thing. It broke right across the full line. Lost about 3/4" off the end of the stick. It stayed there for many moons. I couldn't see how it could get through the pickup screen so I left it. When I finally did pull the pan for some reas...

Re: Sealing the combustion chamber.
That's what I call good info. 10% is 9.0 so I can go to 99.0 lbs/ft without a problem and still reuse the fasteners. I don't want to get into a throw away situation, they cost me over $400. I think I'll just stay with 99 and call it max but safe. Thanks again.

Re: Sealing the combustion chamber.
I have to clarify what's happening to answer your question. We've been trying to get the thing dialed in and running right on a 300 shot but that's not what causing the problem. It has been doing a lot of missing and backfiring because of a defective fuel pressure safety switch that makes and breaks...

Sealing the combustion chamber.
I've put a couple of years into upgrading my car to run a heads up class on nitrous. Now I'm having trouble sealing the head gaskets in the area between cylinders. I have 15:1 CR JE Nitrous Pistons, 1/2" head studs that torque to 90 lbs/ft, copper gaskets with "O" rings in the block a...
