Triple Turbonators?

Quad eRAMs?

Photoshop job?

Bet it's "bottle"!

A few comments, though...

That better pull sure takes a dump in the mid-range! And the dyno curves don't look right, likely not calibrated right. On each, the HP and TQ curves should cross at 5,250 RPM. The lower one crosses a little low and the upper one is WAY off.

Finally, on both the AFR curves stay near stoic through the mid-range. Not good for power and could be dangerous (too lean) with spray (or whatever the "secret" is). Matt at Tune Time has a good reputation, but you should really contact him to get rid of the PE delay and work the tables.

A 50 shot of nitrous with my new ZEX set-up did the trick!

Had a whole bunch of fun using up the 10 lb. tank this weekend.

PUR Performance in St. Charles did the work and the dynos.

They did say it was running a little lean and I'll be calling Matt @ Tune Time real soon to see what he has to say.

SWEET!!!

So, ya got the bottle hooked up... You'll have to post some pictures of the final setup. Last time I saw the set up with the empty bottle was an incredibly cool layout in the back!

Let me know when you'll be doing some runs out a Gateway International...

Took everything off from behind the cat.

Where the resonator was now rests a 24" Thrush; a Y pipe off off that which leads to a small Walker resonator on each side ending with a dual tip on each side.

Thanks Mark, mine's a little more tucked away under the hood than yours. Your's was the inspiration for mine.

Went with a remote botte opener. Someone talked me outa using a bottle warmer and now I wish I hadn't. Friday 70 degrees out, pressure gauge read 8; next day, 50 degrees out, pressure gauge read 6. Thinkin of going ahead and adding one.

Yeah, the warmer is absolutely needed to maintain consistent bottle pressure which is so important. I thought I told you about that in our PM..lol... ...BTW...What plugs did you end up installing? I think that I'm going to try out the NGK's this year, I wasn't real impressed with the ZEX plugs when it came down to everyday driving. Well congrats, and post some underhood pics if you get a chance...Regards...Mark
