...and that's why I phrased it the way I did... Nitrous can turn into a slippery slope if your personality doesn't contain a little reasonable restraint. Anyone who's spent several weekends at the drag strip talking to people and cultivating some friendships will eventually find that one guy...

To be perfectly fair, if I were installing ONLY a 100 shot on my own vehicle, I probably would forego some of the items brought up in this thread (EGT probes, separate complete dedicated fuel system, progressive controller). But, having experienced the difference between N/A vs boosted/sprayed...

It's only (solicited) advice offered from people running nitrous on their vehicles...he's free to ignore or disregard based on his application...

100%-modern electronics when properly configured enable the safety margin to be much wider.

I'm a little curious as to what is meant by "constant timing adjustments." Any modification that enhances the atmosphere going into an engine is likely to require timing adjustments, doesn't make it constant...you might have to make a few adjustments to dial it in, but once it's good and I...

RPM, throttle position, fuel pressure--window and safety switches as mentioned above by TT5.9

Bingo! Nitrous often gets blamed for failure to properly configure or use a system

Most of your failure issues related to nitrous use are related to improper ring gap rather than just the piston material. Hyper slugs that came in stock magnums will handle the heat and pressure for what you're asking, but the rings being gapped too close will cause them to fail before the...

Same here...I never had a moment's trouble with mine...but hell, different strokes I guess.

If it's a 90* adapter, I would imagine any filter for an LA should fit? The 318 that used to sit in my Scamp was from an '80 Roadrunner, and it had one...the 318 in my Dad's '84 Ramcharger has one...that's two apps I can think of you could source a filter for that would fit--among dozens of others.

Some device on the oil filter? What's this device look like?

I wouldn't count out the brakes and such. Redfish makes some good points, as do many other folks on here. And to be perfectly honest, headers aren't a requirement. If you just want to continue to enjoy the car and aren't really looking to set the street on fire with it, even mild cams still...

I can't disagree with the above statement... Moving on... I can't recall his nick, but there's a fella from Sweden or Finland (I think) with a 273 in a Duster. He freshened up the heads, put on a 4bbl intake, a Comp 282S cam, headers and some other goodies...well more than enough to put a...

Can't wait to see the outcome

Hey younggun did you swap intakes? I would've sworn your 383 was topped with an M1 before...?

When are people gonna get it's not JUST the cubes but how they're setup, packaged, and executed?

...like a severely overbored 340...with more freely flowing heads...

Indeed--there are still a few folks who want them... Can't argue there--I still look for parts for my mine too...

^^ there's the secret to having a fast drag car that hooks, a quick roundy round car--whatever your goal--right parts in the right chassis...regardless of the purpose.

pretty much stock 383 vs stock 360...already sounds lopsided. ;)

If anyone else wanted to add another reason, it would be that he already has the 360...something about a bird in the hand being worth two in the bush...

They're not hard to find...but ones that are easy to find are either heavy, .060+ in the bore, run a fat ring package, or if they don't do one of the above things, cost nearly twice as much...or some combination thereof. We all know the adage about speed costing money, how fast do you want to...

^^^^ what he said...

I've heard/read this from a growing number of folks on here. But don't stop at Edelbrock...any aftermarket heads...Edelbrocks are just an easy target because they probably sell the most aluminums

Wow--2006--pomonamissel's been diggin' in the archives! Despite the age of the thread, it's a pretty common and recurring theme: how much to make how much... cheap fast reliable Pick 2 of the 3...and picking "cheap" anywhere is kinda subjective anyway.

Turbo'd anything is interesting, and any one of the MP cams would likely be about the worst thing for a turbo engine...you won't do it ;) EDIT: I'm a little sauced up at the moment, so don't take anything I say seriously or read it without your tongue planted firmly in cheek...damn I love rum

True!

...or you could mock it up and measure if you have a shortblock....?

Interested
