Just thinking out loud here on how the Nitrous is hooked up, right now and I have a little concern with it.

As air flows from front of the manifold to the back you will fill the first 3 cylinders with Nitrous from the front spray bar. All the Nitrous from the back spray bar will be going directly into the rear or last cylinder causing a very lean condition possible damaging the motor.

Just my 2 cents.

The rear two fittings get capped. Only the front ones will be hooked to solenoids. Same as the WOP drag truck from what I understand.

This is with the nitrous only being fed from one end, distributes pretty evenly. We first tried them out on my truck and they worked awesome, so they were then added to the Lightning drag truck and a few other customers vehicles. All with the same results...

Makes perfect sense now.

The back fitting is more or less just to hold the spray bar then.

JDub · Jul 11, 2012

Yes, but you could feed both ends if you wanted to. I believe on Elmos, 3AN fittings were used, same as mine and it picked up over 400hp on the dyno with spray using this spray bar design. With a progressive controller, you can modulate the solenoids and regulate how much spray is fed to them...

If anyone needs them, I have some 1/4 AN blank fittings that can be drilled for your HP goals.

Actually I was inspired to do that by Shawn Ellerton's short bed 4x4.

Anybody ever use a hobby(110v) welder on these frames?? Jason said he's gonna try to weld it up with some flux core wire. Im thinking a little more juice would be good but he said he wants to see how it fills the gaps first

The luck that Danny has with these motors I think it will hold fine:doh:

i heard he was gonna do a core pass a torch and some brazing rod, and a cover pass with the flux core for rigidity.
