This should help it breath a little better. Custom built, Silver power coated 850cfm Holley calibrated for E-85 form CSU Carbs. The same Weiand Team G manifold I was using, but had it Ceramic coated in Natural Cast Aluminum. Hard has nails and nothing found so far will stain it. Stays permanently clean looking. With a Extreme Velocity Carb Hat with the same ceramic coating has the intake. I do need some new AN fitting and hose to replace the ugly,scratched up ones on there now. Buts that's how they look after 8 years and removed and replaced 10,000 times using regular wrenches and not the ones made for them.

Kevin builds a nice carb, he has done a few for me, really gets the fuel pouring thru those things-are you using the hat with the divider? i rem it when i couldnt clock at 9 or 12 o clock-i have the new Procharger one that looks like the X trem vol one now, pretty nice piece
i like Kevins hat, but the tilt on the other hats help hood clear.
are you using straight water inj., or adding windshield washer-i might add a water inj since im not intercooled this time around, if it needs it
tour setup looks great

I started off with a hat like Kevin sells when I had the stock 1969 flat hood and needed the clearance to make it all fit. But after I got the 4 inch cowl hood I added 2 - 1 inch spacers, bottom one open and the top one a 4 hole and then add the EV hat. On the H20 injection, I used denatured alcohol,methanol and water. H20 is more consistent in all weather conditions, except below freezing of course. I played with them all on the dyno and Methanol made about 18 more HP than H20,but is corrosive has hell. I spilled some on my inner fender and frame and it was instant rust in about 5 minutes. Burned right thru the Por-1 on the frame. If your interested in H20 injection here's a link that I used to build my system. It has worked flawlessly since day one and doesn't cost a arm and a leg to build.

I see that they sold the site and made the parts list more complicated. all you need is the pump from Northern Tool and nozzles from McMaster-Carr and hobb switches from NAPA. I use 2 Hobbs switches, one hits at 3 psi and starts the M10 nozzle and the second one comes on at 8 psi for the M15

That can't be me.They banned me about 3 years for bad mouthing Bullseye turbo for just repackaging Borg Warner turbos and calling them S4xxx and that they were better because they were "prepped" The new cardboard box must add HP. Then in Oct 2008 I was recruited to sell Bullseye stuff. Not my idea,theirs. Go figure. But it was still easier to just get the parts from BW and build them myself and sell them for half the price. BW has since dropped BEP in 2009 and rumor has that they now have a big influence on China's economy if you know what I mean. Everybody in business knows whats up.To bad the general public gets screwed
