you dont need to do that for a 69w. it will handle more than most of us can afford. If you serious with the turbo idea you need at least a 76mm and thats based on since a lot of the turbo kits come with76mm turbos

No window switch needed for a carb'd nitrous application. Buy your kit and a bottle warmer and your set to go. Make sure the timing is retarded 4 degrees for every 100 sprayed and your set as long as your fuel supply is good. You may want to think about running a seperate pump for the nitrous system.

isnt it still a little risky not to run a window switch?? I was thinking a nitrous controller and window switch?? Will the top pill in the MSD cover what a window switch does??

The MSD igintion box pulls spark. Why do you need a window switch to turn your nitrous off/on with a carb set up? Fuel doesn't puddle in the intake like it does with an EFI car which would benefit from a window switch. I spray'd 2-300 for a season and a half zero issues with no window switch. I had both a 5 speed and an automatic. Sure you can use one, but you don't need to. At best all you need is an RPM activated cut off switch to turn it off if your worried about over reving. There is no need to have a set RPM to activate nitrous on a short runner carb intake like a Vic Jr. which I assume your running wanting to spray that much anyway.

Yeah its a Jr. I guess i was just thinking about effects of 1500rpm activation...but i guess a WOT switch would eliminate that issue huh. Which controller (if any) did you use?? all 300 out of the hole or what??

I never ran a controller, all out of the hole. If you do choose to run a controller keep an eye and some rebuild kits for your solenoids. The controler flutters the plunger in the solenoid and you don't want a solenoid to fail open on you.

I have 325/50 DS. I was just concerned about blowing the tires off at the line.

Same tire I ran. You can dial the suspension in and/or run a two stage set up. You could also run a progressive controller.
