Then you're the girl we always buy these cars for!!

I never had any of my many muscle cars so I could get dudes to ride around with me  :chuckle:

But you gonna let me get greasy and help work on it?  Cuz be decorative is boring and I am way beyond my prime decorative days anyway.

That's not the same 55 that's been sitting on that lift for 3 years now is it? :chuckle:

Got the new shoes the other weekend! 20 rears and 18 fronts.... makes the 18s look small.
Ive actually been thinking of doin a small nitrous set up because my cousin said i could use all his stuff. (He has a twin turbo fox body mustang that is a consistent 8.1 car. Been 7s) and doesnt use the bottle anymore. Gonna do a stereo soon. Then big wilwood disc brakes this winter.

Looking good!. I say go for the nitrous just keep a small tune up in it with conservative timing when using the spray. Does your cousins set up have a separate fuel system for the nitrous or does it use the carbs fuel supply?

I think it would use the carbs supply. He said all id need to buy is a plate that goes under the carb and a full throttle switch. I dont know much about nitrous.

Are you running a stock style mechanical fuel pump?

Depends on how much power you want to put to it.  Assuming you have an engine-mounted mechanical fuel pump that flows good GPM and maintains 5-6 psi at extended full throttle application, you should be fine for to to 100 HP or so.  If the pump pressure drops off below 5 psi after a few seconds during a full throttle run (which means the carb fuel bowls are draining at a faster rate than the pump is supplying them), you should consider adding a dedicated electric pump feeding the nitrous solenoid.  If you run lean while pushing nitrous to the engine... the oxygen provided by the NO2 will find something to burn instead of gasoline.  Like a piston crown.  Whoever you buy the plate (and jets) from will give you the low down on this if you ask.

If i end up doing this itll be a very low amount... like 50 shot. I do know i need to work on the fuel lines a bit as one is kinked (needs to happen regardless if i add a bottle or not.) The only fuwl pump is the mechanical. Just kicking around ideas here. Nothing is certain. If i do it i wont spend much money on it. Because i would rather save the car money for a new engine amd tranny.
