Looks good.  FYI, it will hit harder...

FYI......as an unedumacated inoramas who has never been any further west than Possum Kingdom, and only built and tested a dozen or so air cooled Nawws systems....WRONG !! Details to follow as testing continues.

The above setup hit like a snowflake. Notice how close the nozzles are to the carbs, I'm thinking they may have disrupted flow and fuel disperstion tru the carb and the sudden angle change of the manifold also messed up the spray pattern from the nozzles. My best 60ft was 1.54 and 660 was 7.10. That aint't gonna get it in my world! Anywho, I already moved them back to the original location cause I know that spot worked in the past. It kicked like a mule when I had the soleinoids there. I'm thinking a straight shot at the intake valve may work best on my motor. I plan to test this weekend at Redline, come check it out. I could use some chassis tuning tips since you da expert.

After moving foggers back we took it to the track. Did not change tune up. Ran the same time (7.10) in some really bad air last Saturday. Even did some minor (hopefully) engine damage. Nextstep? Take motor apart and try to analize.

Gary,
I know you won't get discouraged. Keep after it as you will hit the right tune-up. If it was easy everyone would be doing it.

Peace out

Here is what I ended up with this year. I built one very similar a few years back, but somehow it ened up on Carl's car. Hmmmmmmm. Anyways, of all the set ups I tried I think I'll stick with this for a while. Thought it might be easier to see with motor out of car. Plan on adding a progressive controller and going big in 3rd and 4th. Don't know which one to ask Santa for? Any ideas?

FYI-The motor above is known as "Baby Nawws". It is what I call a Green and ECO Friendly Engine. Not because of it's Low Carbon Footprint but because every part has been Recycled several times. The case is the original one that came in the Gold Fat Chick. I put well over a 100,000 miles on it before I learned how to adjust the valves. I think the valves, springs, and spark plugs may be new.

Gary,

Can we get some pics of "King Kong Nawws"? Or is it still in the lab? That is quite impressive that Baby Nawws is using the original case from the Gold Fat Chick. Pretty cool.

What car is Baby Nawws going in? Any ET predictions or hopes?

It's been in the Blue Car since I have been running it. Carl ran a 10.80 something a few years back with it. My best has only been 11.05 / 6.87 with a gearbox I ran N/A in the Fat Chick years ago. Geared for 170 hp and 1800lbs, way to low for the Blue Car. Also had some New Car Blues to deal with this year. I have already changed to a taller gearbox. Big Nawws in being "Recycled" and "King Kong Nawws" has become the victim of Pirates. Arrrgh !! Damn them pesky Pirates.

GREAT looking setup Gary.  Clean, simple, and to the point.  Much better than your last creation.

BTW, I absolutely LOVE the NOS Launcher progressive controller.  You can do anything and everything you'd ever imagine doing with your nitrous with it.  If you want to see the software, I'd be happy to show you what we do with our radial car...




...about time we had some interesting topics on this site!
