Re: Large Tube Runners

You might have better luck on the Power Adder forum...

Someone used to sell a set of large tube runners with the bosses for fogger nozzles already welded in. I've even seen a complete NOS kit on Ebay that supposedly came with the runners. They're out there, just not extremely common.

Do we know who exactly used to sell these runners?
I haven't had much luck in the Power Adder Forum...

Re: Large Tube Runners

You might try Street and Performance too... They carry a ton of oddball EFI junk. If you can slog through their goofy PDF catalog you might find something, but you can bet it's overpriced.

Re: Large Tube Runners



In the past? Send some emails... Pick up your phone and make some calls... NOS, Arizona Speed & Marine, TPIS, Street & Performance, etc... Go get the scoop from the source.

The idea of a Direct Port Nitrous setup on a F.I.R.S.T. Injection System sounds really nice. Nicer than my Large Tube Runner Setup...

Anyone have one?

Re: Large Tube Runners

im sure you could run nitrous on a first tpi setup. but you would need to fabricate runners or go the easy route with a nitrous plate. an ls1 plate would probably fit the first throttle body. if not one would be very cheap and easy to make.

Re: Large Tube Runners

You could get creative and have nozzle bungs welded into any set of runners. The photo in the swapper's guide looks like someone did just that with a set of LTRs from TPIS. Take a look at the things that 1989GTATransAm is doing. He's definitely not afraid to get creative.

Re: Large Tube Runners

Do you believe that welding the runners would be more effective than a plate?

It would surely be more effective at distribution of nitrous and fuel, always a good thing to be sure of. But plate systems work well too and would be cheaper to do. Nitrous nozzles add up quickly 50-80 bucks a wet nozzle, 8 nozzles + all the lines and distribution blocks....
