I have already ordered a Dominator spray plate, just need the other bits and pieces.
I think the Sox will need nitrous to run the numbers; I was just toying with fitting a basic system on Julie's car for the Nats.....

If i am 12.5 comp would it be a good idea to o ring the block
Just curious
No problem runnin nitrous with the compression you have , DC will determine cylinder pressures anyhow.
Tight quench motors don't fair too well when running on the bottle with heavy hits.

Julies motor is 500 ci, 12.5:1. 683 lift cam, large valves and Max Wedge ports.
Motor does not start hauling to at least 4500 rpm, so its not great off the line. Pulls like a train to 7000rpm.
I realise most of the spray would be exiting out the exhaust ports, but I need to pick up a few tenths on the launch - there is plenty of MPH there

Might be an option - I will talk to the "Box-Miester".
We though that motor would stand the Dart on its bumper , but it did not happen............Sox has a transbrake, so that should be fun..
