Oh. I bet he bought Shannons (Tinman) heads. Those are whose I based mine on... Loosely. If I could replicate that, I'd be in good shape haha

Just read that thread, wow! I need to step up my game. Id bet I could surprise some folks with a similar setup and a little squirt of juice on top.
Before my brother n law went coyote, he was putting together a sleeper out of left over parts.
Ported p heads with the bars ground off the front, 347 in a Mexican block, cut and ported stock H.O. intake and a shot of nitrous. He wanted to use a stockish cam too, but it all got abandoned for the coyote.

Now we're talking! 
There are some fun ways to help hide a system. Now anyone who really looks is going to notice but the avg guy won't. I've heard or seen some interesting things. One guy pressurized his roll cage. Another guy installed a fogger "under" a super Vic intake. You can tuck the solenoids,black wire loom the lines, cut out the bottom of a gym bag to cover the bottle,etc. With a iron head gt40 intake etc most would think maybe a 12 sec car and yet with a track dedicated setup you could run 10's on a stock bottom end. Not saying this is your goal. Just having fun here lol

I'd be down. I just don't have much interest in spending thousands to chase 5 hp here and there with a max effort setup

Pressurized roll cage? Lol, wow! That's definitely thinking out of the box. Back when i worked in the shop before going to the field I can't tell you how many foggers i drilled and tapped on the bottom side of intakes. I also took a cheater plate apart and hid it in a two inch carb spacer, hiding the lines with wire loom.
Under the dash where the heater used to be. An old skinny 10lb bottle hanging sideways jussst fits. Ask me how I know.
None of you will be Dom Teretto cool hiding your bottles inside the pass seat.
Hoping to order some struts this week. What does everyone run? I want strange single adjustable, but I think that may be out of the price range. What is a good replacement, probably non-adjustable?

Check the strange out before you buy. They are pretty cheap(I can't remember what I paid). I like mine alot
Didn't notice, hahaha. But I just looked at the price, and they're more expensive then the stranges. I'd like to go strange so I can put them on full loose if I go to the track with the new combo and chase 11s
