Just pm me... its a bad a## FPR actually. I will ship it out to ya. look it up under their website. Its Cartech, I believe it is adjustable from 30-75. I will ship it to ya for free. Like I said, I dont need it, and frankly I hate selling stuff on craigslist. It gets annoying sometimes with my schedule, I never have enough time cause I am always working. I would rather give it to someone who could use it.

I'm going to subscribe to this one, just to see how long it takes you to blow the car up.

You're kidding right? a 600 shot is peanuts and should be no problem for him...

obviously not going to use the kit's full potential right now.

starting with a 150 shot, and if that doesn't get me where I wanna be, then I will move up to a 200 shot.

If you do decide on the 600 shot, please video it so we can see which body parts fly off the car.

Really though, a few people around here thought about the e85 deal. One con is either aluminum or steel can not be used for fuel lines. I believe aluminum but, I am not sure. Also your gas mileage will go down. E85 is a lot cheaper than race gas but, you will probably fill up twice as much almost. Maybe not that much but, you will definantly notice a big difference.

lol I was more thinking Dart 347 with a 500 shot and a c4 with a 4500rpm stall and a 7k shift point...... hubba hubba but that is a few years down the line.


I'm thinking of using E85 for the stand-a-lone fuel system only. not for the motor, just the nitrous kit.

the parts of the kit are easily replaced, so its not much of a worry. but I need to do more reasearh before I commit to the idea.

if I don't decide before I get everything on the car, I will just run race gas in the stand-a-lone tank

man, I certainly wish you luck with it. With current gas prices, im looking to downgrade... not upgrade.

who knows, maybe after I kill everyone in the middle east, the gas prices might drop back down to $1 a gallon!

lmao! dude you and me both, I know you mentioned it a few times I think, but I love the idea of a mostly OEM motor, with a big turbo. with the right upgrades, you could get it to run like stock up to 3000-3500 rpm, and get 20mpg, but still make 500rwhp.

but I kinda feel like im already up to my armpits in s#it with this car. kinda feels like I have to keep chugging along.

I've had 8 months to think about where I want to go with the car since the motor went down, and this is the cheapest way I could devise to get to my power goals.

I would have loved to buy your motor, and haul ***, but I just can't afford it right now.

with this combo, I have about $1,700 total spent for the rebuild explorer motor, and this nitrous kit, probably spend a little more to get the nitrous kit going, buy a igniton box, and a victor intake, and I can potentually be running 10's at this elevation. Thats damn fast for the money invested.

hope your doing well over in the sandbox. don't let that **** ruin your mind. I still have paranoia problems from my time over there, but I went over back in 2005 when it was still pretty crazy.
