I'm not saying good or bad, I just want to see what they look like. Details on the car, motor, what it runs, etc. would also be helpful.

Thank you.


Also, your DP setups are some of the nicest looking plumbing jobs I have seen to date, and I am sure that in capable hands (like Conrad) they're capable of delivering the power needed to really put up a #.
That is alot to ask of a customer that is not being payed to do so. However I will see what I can come up with. For many of our more serious racers race season is over and they are tore down to prepare for next year. Not saying this is not possible. I will see what I can do.

Thanks for the complements on our direct port work.
Dave

Dave, I haven't been posting over here very much, but your comments on the "made in the USA" and really made in China are spot-on, and inspired me to post up. I take that subject very seriously, especially since it has directly affected me in the past. Our company had 1 to 2 full-time production workers producing parts for a Nitrous Manufacturer, for almost 2 years on a part we developed. We had an excellent delivery record, and top notch quality. We took a great deal of pride in our work. However, even though we developed the product, and produced it at first, it is now being produced over-seas. Sure, its only 2 US jobs that were lost and overall it won't make any big effect on our economy except for those 2 people. The worst part is I still see that damn "Made in the USA" logo on it which makes me sick.

Great post. Nice to see you took the time to try different things on the plate kit to find what works the best.

I would like to do a plate system, but that would pull away from my "stealth" install.

I was going to answer true, but I guess the exclamation point indicates it's not a question.

Good read, worth the time to carefully go through it.

I'm not a newbie by any means. I choose to read rather than post typically, but with as many threads and builds that go on this board some of us can't always keep up with every single build. There's no reason to try and flame someone for not dedicating his life to reading the entire nitrous section...

I bought a complete HSW wet kit. I am wanting to get a plate system. Trying to figure out which one of the two is the best.

LOL. No drugs for me. I am use to operating on 4 to 5 hours of sleep and working 16 hour days. Exactly the reason why I laugh when people make comments about how nice it must be to own your own buisness. They think we are taking golf and fishing days ors something on a regular basis.

The reson why is I do not have a camera that is capable of magnifying the point of focus enough to clearly show in great detail. Dont get me wrong our camera can focus in pretty good but I do not have the correct lense for that job.

I have been talking to a buddy of mine that is in photagraphy to see if he could take some pictures for me for a spark plug reading how to I am working on in my very little amount of free time.

Don't show me pictures of plugs after Nitrous runs unless you also tell me who and when your injectors were balanced. Next thing I want to look at are the coil packs.

I assume everyone is talking about STREET or limited Street cars? And while we're on the subject of Nitrous. Weren't there some Nitrous Pops recently in Memphis? WHY

Ill get you guys some plug pictures when the season comes back around. People act like this is some black majic or something. Hell just look at the number of guys on this board using our plate for 250 for years now. There are only a few doing 300 because not everyone has the tuning knowldege or capability of lestening to the motor when it is talking to you.

People were blowing up left and right in Memphis. For the most part I understood most of them were the NMCA guys. Im guessing the cold air had there tune ups way off. I know one guy that lifted a head and hurt a head gasket due. I assume probably because of the small head bolts. Thats all I am aware of that I know personaly.
