thanks man for the info it is very much appreciated

I guess until my other jets come in the mail, I'll only be running a 55 shot. My wife misplaced or lost them

don't worry,you'll still have fun with that.anything more and traction becomes an issue.get drag radials if you don't have them allready.

CAI is good, but not if it has to make a bunch of turns to hit the intake opening. NOS says mount in the TB, they always have, ZEX gives a distance. for peeps who have the rubber tube... do the tb, cai do it there. i currently have the c&l tube with the boss in it. thats perfect there cuz it still shoots str8 into the intake opening. i also squirt dry... so i dont have a puddling issue, thats WHY i squirt dry

yes, use brass, and with EVERYTHING on your kit... use teflon PASTE!!!!! not tape, tape will clog guages, and can cause a selonoid to hang open... even if you dont hear it... it can seep into a cylinder and when you start it up....... your done

i have my tee in there so it goes like this |-

not the single side up, i have my line pressure guage in the top then i have the hobbs switch off the side

I need to get a gauge no matter what and maybe a bottle heater?

I can't wait to get a bigger jet in her
