We were supposed to get some Complimentary stuff from a Very popular company
as a result of the Hot Rod Deal.... well that whole Package set up fell
through yesterday... Bummer it was a 2k system..... so we are now looking at
other options.... Think I got it all nailed down today....

 Talked to my Engine Management specialist... ( thanks for the free consult
Dave) and we are looking at a couple of options....He likes a single Nitrous
system brought in Early.... just after Peak torque....Starting with a 50hp
kit and working up from there....  (ease of tuning Vs the Dual stage
system )

The C Motor was missing as a result of some fouled Plugs... nothing more..
we took the motor out and apart and it's finally not hurt.... Just polishing
the Crank and rolling a new set of bearings in and a couple of other Machine
shop operations....( lifter galley oil drain back restrictors) and Blending
the block where it meets the head to get rid of the shelf....

Other then that we are opening up the rings a tick to handle the Nitrous....

Should be on the Dyno within the next two weeks.... I am like you John....
looking forward to seeing the real numbers....

One of the other things that bothers us is the Fuel flow to the system... so
I am going to get a bigger Fuel Filter and get rid of the sexy lines and go
with FAT lines to the Carb... This might cure the top end lean out
problem....

Lots to do and NO TIME.... Perfect.. I love Pressure.... Keith
