    So that was you in the "Novappolo"? I'd like to know more about your pump gas 464 with a little spray. Nice car.

    And I agree, we need to get some other V8 cars out there next year.

    Since I left my job at the CIA I guess I can tell you about the combo and not have to kill ya.:pp

    Engine is as follows:.038 over T/A pistons and Sportsman rods.
    Actual compression is 10.5 to 1
    Stock crank
    T/A Stage2 TE heads with a touch up by AMP
    T/A SP Stage2 intake
    Old Lunati 253/266 flat tappet cam.
    Girdled with a T/A 8 quart pan.
    C&S Aerosol billet carb 4150 flange 1060cfm
    Headers are a Hedman Hustler doorslammer kit for a big Chevy modded by me to fit a Buick head pattern. 2 1/8 inch primary into a 3 1/2 inch collector.

    Nitrous kit: NX Gemini Twin set on a 200shot. Also use a NANO nitrous kit to help maintain bottle pressure throughout the run.

    Simple setup that really needs a crank for my peace of mind. lol

    I wonder who, lol. However, me and that car had a discussion and it won't earn a paint job until I get my 8 second timeslip. Considering how much I was spinning in the first '330 down in Oklahoma, I think the car is trying to convince me that I should just go to a sticky track and we both will get our wish.:grin:

    northcorner Guess what I'm thinking..

    That's really supposed to be the ticket these days. Nitrous guys around here are raving about it. Nice car, by the way. Wish I could have made the trip to see all you guys.....maybe next year.:beer

    Nice car. We enjoyed watching you. And thanks for your help on our winter project. That track wasn't very sticky, and our 10.5 car was doing a little A body shuffle down that track, but still had a fun weekend. Until the final.

    It works very well. I am actually old High School friends with the owner(inventor) and my shop is about 1/4 mile from theirs. lol

    Kinda easy to see why I would be a user and dealer for NANO huh.:TU:

    Tyler Northcutt Just an old pile of parts

    Definatly going to look into getting Nano to go along with the nitrous. You say you are a dealer for both NX and NANO? You got any special pricing or kit suggestions for me? :laugh:

    I could probably work up a setup for ya pretty easy. Gimme a shout sometime and we can work out what setup fits your needs, skill levels, future car plans etc. My stuff is all setup very simple since I am a skillethead that wants to feel important pushing a button, which means I don't have a lot of electronics helping me out. If I don't build the twin turbo/EFI setup for the motor I plan on doing over the winter, then I'm gonna add a second stage and some electronic helpers myself. There's a bazillion ways of setting a system up.
