Re: Picking up the Nova Sunday
The tank is big enough if someday I want to do a turbo or blower setup, but sticking with same ol' nitrous combo for now. Still going to have a carb on it, pretty much the same setup but may do something different with the nitrous.chpcamaro wrote:ok that makes sense now lol i always wanted to build myself a turbo car i have for customers but there walets are bigger then mine lol and i would go over board lol well make sure you keep the pictures comeing are you going fuel injection?

Re: Picking up the Nova Sunday
I'm curious too! All I can say for sure is it will be lighter, only question is how much exactly.

Hey John,
Did you say this water tank is going to be your radiator or did I "dream up" that comment?

Re: Picking up the Nova Sunday
John, what are you going to do for a water pump? A remote setup?
I'm doing a similar setup on my car, but a front mounted tank, very small tank since its a alcohol motor....but am still looking at remote pumps and am not sure which one i want to use.
