FUELforTHOUGHT

Dave,

I've got a '67 Nova with a 555 Reher Morrison and glide. The engine dynoed at 920hp at 7400 and 750 lbs at 5200. Car weighs 3200 lbs with me in it and has run thee best of 9.25@146 on gas through the 1150 Dominator. What type of nitrous system would be practical for my setup? What would the max. hp gain be?

Thanks for the advice,

Ken

Ken,

It depends on what you want to achieve ET wise. I suspect your ambition is to have an 8 second time slip. To bust into the 8s I am thinking that on a bad air day you are going to need another 200 ponies so a dominator plate system would fit the bill. If you are planning on getting more heavily involved with the bottle down the road then a nozzle system is the better choice.

Have a safe race,
