Make a bracket and hide the bottle up under your dash or build a fake console that the bottle will fit in the area under the dash and in the front of the console. Install the nox and fuel nozzles in the bottom of the intake runners with a splash shield over the top of the lifters to keep the oil off of everything.... run the tubes out the back of the block in the lifter valley, above the bellhousing through the firewall and connect them to the solenoids. Disguise the tubes coming out the back of the lifter valley with a black wire loom cover so that they look like electrical wiring to the casual observer. Probably won't pass a diligent tech inspector at the track, but on grudge night at the track or on the street, nobody will see it.... Easiest to do on a single plane intake, but can be done on a dual plane too......


PS----Things like this are what happens when I get left alone in the shop with no adult supervision!!!!!!!!

i have the plat system

drill and tap the heater hose out of the intake run the nos line thru the rubber heater hose and run thru to the bottle in the heater box

Retail is $6500.00 for the 12" deck height block..... Not sure what my discount will be, still negotiating.....

do any body have any pic so i can see about how to do this or a web sit

I dont have a transbrake how can i tell if the stall to tight

Buy a police scanner and wait til it's time to get it out on the street and test it.....

Now I like that . That's how I will Test My Monte Carlo . COOL

Do you know the rated stall you are using? Too small of a stall for the combo and the engine is lazy coming off the line.

A 276@.050" cam is going to need at least a 5500 rpm stall. You also need about 14:1+ compression

That cam is rated at 4400-7800 rpm. That's way too much cam for your combo of parts.

If you are wanting to turn this engine 6K rpm, sell both those cams and get a good cam for your combo. A comp 12-900-9 comes to mind. Get it on a .900 base circle though to have a little extra cam to rod clearance. I'm running this cam in a 383cid with 11:1 compression on pump gas running 10.80's. I shift at 6200 rpm. With your bigger engine, you could shift a 6000 rpm with out a problem.

Heck, I still don't understand why people don't leave the automatic trannies in Grandma's Impala and run a 5 or 6 speed so they can use the gears to keep the engine in the power range they built it to operate in???????

And how many pedals do you have in that car ?

It's a driver, not a hot rod. You want to talk driver's, we'll talk driver's. Just what the heck is your point or you just wanting to start another senseless argument????

My hot rods and my drivers are never the same car.....
