make sure you get that on vidio tape i love watching the 4 foot flame you get from a nitrouse explotion you cant expect to double hp by using nitrouse on a stock bottom end it just doesnt happen

I believe we already have a few videos of it on youtube somewhere. The best one was a blue coupe that went 10.teens on a 300hp shot with a stock motor from a Lincoln. Several of us have done it before on stock longblocks. They were all carb cars though. The only negative about that much is it tends to push a lot of headgaskets. You'll probably blow a hg every 5-8 passes. With EFI, the most I've personally done is 250hp through a single Shark nozzle on a stock longblock with a cam.I would try a 300 shot with a single nozzle on EFI, but I'd make some changes before I did. 300hp can't be any worse than running 21psi & a .035 jet dry through a stock shortblock. And I know where that video is.

But FWIW, I don't recommend my customers going over 175hp with a single nozzle and EFI unless they REALLY know what they're doing. Dimebag doesn't qualify.
