Thanks Jenny Craig!

Heres a couple of shot of the entire dash assy take out of the Firebird. We've removed the entire wiring harness, air ducting & controls, everything.
We even removed the factory gauges & grafted in all new AutoMeter gauges.
It looks pretty sick, if I do say so myself.

Re: Thanks Jenny Craig!

That does look good... Is your motor built for spray at all?

I think the first pic with the bottle mounted should answer your Q.

Looks pretty cool Marc. Man on a mission for sure.

I got a chance to check out the car at his shop recently all I can say is damn that is going to be one bad ride. Can't wait to see it run at the track Marc.

LOL

We built this motor just for No2. I'm up to 6 bottles now & even thinking about buying Nitrous Filling Station. We will eventually run Direct Port Nitrous Injection.
The motor is all 4340 Rotating Assy, Balanced, Ported, Forged, Special Head Gaskets, Studded Main, HeadStuds, Full Mech Roller, 14.75-1, Top Secret Cam, Billet 5000 Stall Converter, Moser 12 Bolt, Complete MSD Ignition, MegaSquirt Fuel Management w/ wideband o2.

I think the cheapest part of this was the car itself, $350 running!

P.S. 24' Enclosed Trailer too

I wonder if you can get those pics bigger so you can actually see everything.

Re: Thanks Jenny Craig!

I didn't really know what the Megasquirt was when Travis mentioned it for his setup.

Did some reading and it sounds like a good robust solution for you guys.

Always nice to learn something new.

hmm, link doesn't seem to work. Have to edit the url once it pops up.
