  1. Anyone have a place they prefer or recommend or thoughts on who to avoid ? thanks
  2. Thanks for the info guys. I'll give that a shot. Heckeng- My monte has the slip type and I'm wanting to put in a overdrive and would like to upgrade the cross member to a solid bolt in type like the chevelles have
  3. Where is a good place to get a chevelle cross member from ?
  4. I know there are several good pumps out there. I like the magnaflow with the filter built in. I have and several of my racing buddies ( the ones that still run nitrous) run the magna flow 500 pump for 10 years now and to my knowledge only 1 has been rebuilt. As far as regulators go everyone including NOS gurus that build systems all swear by the regular holley 12-803 regulator. As a side note it isn't recommended using a pcv set up when using NOS. You don't EVER want to contaminate the incoming fuel and NOS with oil. CONVENTIONAL Oil burns and when hit with a highly combustible situation ( which is nitrous. A controlled explosion that hits the intake at -128 degrees ) the oil can act like a torch right through the piston. World renowned Engine guy Tony Bischoff owner of BES engine service told me that's exactly why he runs a GOOD synthetic like royal purple. When it does get by the rings and into the cylinder it won't burn.
  5. Gee never heard that 1 funny man. #KneeSlapper should be your name instead of newtimer
  6. I agree with jim. Depends on what pump you go with. 150 isn't much and that stuff is addictive. If you EVER think there is a possibility you will go with more you should set it up ONCE and build it with the possibility of advancement. I have a MagnaFuel pump because they are very reliable, made for continuous use and have a built in by-pass. Use 2 regulators. I'm not a fan of dead heading the regulator because the pressure will climb. Put a valve in line so you can shut it off in case of emergency. (Has saved my butt on many occasions. Like when the solenoids get stuck on) Always keep pressure off the NOS solenoids by use of a purge. They shouldn't see pressure until right before you use it then purge it right back off after words. I do so after I pull the shoot. Will get a lot more use from the solenoids if you take care of em.
  7. Fuel pressure doesn't really work like that. In race engines pressure is around 7 to 8psi to the carb. Stock carb engines run around 3 to 5psi. Holley's can only handle 9 to 9 1/2psi. High Pressure pumps are only used to be sure there is enough volume to be there when you need it and a regulator is used to hold it back down to 7 psi. As far as intakes are concerned, ever see a sb2 intake or a sheet metal Intake? They are very tall. The concept is the taller/longer runner has more time to atomize the fuel and air better which is essentially what the idea is for spacers. Every engine is different and you can never tell if yours can gain by using 1 unless you try it. With that being said Patrick James of Pro Fuel Systems has told me that if you engine picks up with a spacer your carb isn't tuned right for the car.
  8. Don't forget to post pics of your progress for us. Good luck
  9. You made the right decision and did a good job doing your homework. You won't regret it
  10. Looks like your trying to build a camaro the hard way. By useing a monte LOL
  11. Seems a little high priced for a 10 bolt. There are plenty of chevelle and monte 12 bolts still around. They are stronger and help the value of the car. The last 2 I've bought for $250 a piece. I found a aftermarket posi on the net for $235 shipped and found some used 3.31 gears for $50 and have been very happy with it. And the 12 bolt just looks MEAN Just my 2 cents worth
  12. Love the new wheels Ian ^ I changed the oil and adjusted the dead spot out of the carb and DANG !!!! I can't wait to go cruising tomorrow !!!!
