Yeah, reading it again, what I wrote might be a little confusing, I know how to do it, but it is a little hard to explain. Someone else might have a better way of explaining it. Going to have to look into that software also, always good to have some one else share their knowledge. Going to a fogger ...

Nice car, wish I knew about smithracecraft when I put mine together, but I just don't want to tear my car apart again.

Fuel pressure is still kinda vehicle or combanation specific, but with a cheater kit, I would start at 6 1/2 to 7 psi flowing with @900 psi bottle pressure. Make sure you check the fuel pressure on the kit as you make a pass. This will point out any problems with fuel delivery. A low fuel pressure c...

I currently have have two filters and two blue pumps, one for the mtor and one for the gas, all 8an. I think when I use that pump I will still use both filters, but upgrade to 10an, then y them together into a single 10an or 12an and run that to the pump, then run a 10 an to the regulator with two 8...

The only aluminum drums I know of were on early 3rd gen camaros and some early 80's g-bodies. Tried to find some once, but everyone I found was either warped or out of spec (to big). I could not find any replacements aftermarket either. Guess you will have to go bone yarding.

On my setup, I currently use a separate pump for the nitrous. If I didn't use a return line with a restriction then the fuel pressure seemed to creep up. Installed a return line with a restriction and problem was solved. Also, the pump needs to be running as soon as you arm the kit, before you activ...

for setting the fuel pressure you are going to have to get a little creative, but the basic jist is you need to set the fuel pressure flowing. Depending on what kit you have, this can be a little bit of a pain. But for example, on a standard nos cheater kit I would turn off the bottle and puge the l...

Go to www.racepumps.com. They are the people who really build the pump. I have seen one in person and damn are they small! Supposedly they will support over 2000hp. They have a q&a forum on there to ask questions about plumbing and stuff. I have been thinking of running one of these on my big bl...

Don't know how to post a pick of mine, but yours definately looks twisted from that pic. Could be I will have the same problem once I put some real horsepower to mine! The old 396 cast crank gave up the ghost over the summer and k.o.'ed the block. Trying to get the new combo together, just lacking t...

Instead of using a bulb, try using a ammeter if one is available. Just make sure it is fused or can handle the potental power going through it. Any more than 200 milliamps and the battery will be dead ovenite. Try to shoot for less than 100 milli's. What the meter reads will also help you pinpoint w...

Trial and error. My 72 big block nova does not like a hard hit from the top hole. Seems to work better in the bottom. My guess is the car likes to transfer weight on the rear tires before the bars hit, usually a mid 1.40 60 foot on a 28x11.50 et street. I will have to see what it likes when I put th...

I did not think you really needed a anti-roll bar with caltracs. My car leaves staight and level with just a tad more preload on the pass side. Am I wrong? Guess I wrote that wrong, I use no preload on the pass side and a slight gap(nickels thickness) on the drivers side with a driver in the seat.
