Cool, but did you know they have a solenoid mount plate that is thin and sits under the carb that looks nice and clean too.  Or did you want to hide then ???

Just incase you didn't know about these.

  Bad idea.  What if you have a little NOS leak?  You will be hard pressed to find your carb unless the water is real clear..

I'm a bit confused  , can you elaborate?
Title: Re: 1977 daytona eliminator
Post by: mach1_557 on April 25, 2016, 04:41:14 PM
Are you referring to the nitrous solenoid leaking and possibly having a back fire up through the carb?

No a fitting leak at the solenoid.  I have had one before and if i had placed my solenoids in the location that you have chosen it would have been a problem.  I hate to create bombs that could have been prevented this is just my opinion. Proceed please. :thumbup:

How is it running? Do you have a lot of tuning to do?
Title: Re: 1977 daytona eliminator
Post by: mach1_557 on May 10, 2016, 02:49:02 PM
Installing a little horsepower, decided against putting the solenoids in the scoop , and just made new brackets on the mill at home, need to polish and install.

Thanks it would of been a pain in the ass in more than one way  to put the solenoids in the tray . I figure this will do for now . I Would like to do a fogger system next but I'll run this for a bit.

. I also run a plate and like it. If you want a shot over the 300 mark go with the fogger.

For now I'm just going to work my way up 2 250.  Should be enough of a kick in the pants. What kind of mile per hour and rpm do you gain when you spray it jimpen

Same fuel just a little more fuel pressure and a little more timing taken out . Had good a/f 's on 200 and 400.  Had to bring in the 400hp shot progressively .
