Jon's system is a mirror image of what we did on the quick.
I swapped Jets over for the reasons I stated earlier............

Glad to be of help!

In terms of performance:

No Nitrous:
60 foot = 1.63
ET = 10.7
MPH = 127

Nitrous:
60 foot = 1.51 (still rubbish, but 1st time out)
ET = 9.98
MPH = 138

You have to remember that this is a 512ci Max Wedge Port (unported) motor with a .250" Stroker crank at 12:1 compression, and a .624" Roller Cam. It is no slouch to start with.

Also using a transbrake but launching at around 3000rpm instead of around 4000-4500 as intended.

However, even for 2 runs; you can see there is quite an impressive pick up in performance with a very basic and simple installation.

You do NOT need complexity to get a good upgrade in performance - don't listen to all the BS and up-sell.

Hope this is informative.

all very informative pete,
unfortunatly dave has gone with a wizard of noz system so plastic pipes every where etc etc,

It also pays to select the right plugs.

At the Nats Roger Luty forgot to swap out his road-going plugs for the Nitrous ones and melted the groundstraps off all 8 plugs on a single run

Mind you, he Bananarama! it with a 300bhp shot, but even so.............

Unfortunately ?? Wizards are often NOT the vendor of choice....

We stuck with NOS solenoids.

Unfortunately Real Steel have bailed from stocking NOS systems and components due to the market being flooded with cheaper (poorer quality??) items; so getting parts is becomming an issue...
