Installed my Intellitronix Window Switch. This thing looks super cool. Really fits the eary 90s era that Dirty Money is from. It has three modes for controlling RPM. Glad I got this simple little unit and not the $100+ units that essentially do the same thing. Plus it's got a lifetime warranty and is made in the USA. I used some gorilla tape to avoid drilling any holes in the dash. Not the prettiest install, but the most functional.
Still need the right diameter wire loom to hide all the wires. The red switch where the radio used to be is to arm the nitrous.
I got myself some 110 octane for when I hit the dyno on October 14th just in case I need to address any unforeseen detonation or pinging issues. I'll be hitting a 175 shot.
I haven't found a definite answer on running really high octane fuel in a stock fuel system. I will probably end up mixing it with 91 (the highest available octane at the pump in my area) to try and aim for a 93 blend. I'm pretty excited and looking forward to making some stout numbers with the nitrous.
Here's my current set-up and how I will be running it on the dyno:
100% Stock 5.0L Windsor 302
Stock E7 Heads
Stock Camshaft
Proform 1.7 Rockers
BBK 75mm Throttle Body
Explorer EV1 19lb. Injectors
Walbro/TI Automotive 255LPH Fuel Pump
Smog & A/C Delete
Underdrive Pulleys (not installed yet)
Pypes X-Pipe
Magnaflow 2.5in Mufflers
Nitrous Outlet X-Series Wet Kit 175HP
T5 Transmission
3.08 Gear
Any thoughts or guesses on what it will put down NA and on the unit?
I've made sure to address all the little things as well; Autolite 24 nitrous plugs, new distributor cap and rotor, good spark plug wires, brand new summit racing 48kV ignition coil, clean paper air filter, fresh fuel filter, appropriate antifreeze/water mixture, fresh oil change with FL1A filter. We will be making the necessary timing adjustments on the dyno to accommodate for each jetting size. If anyone has any little tips or tricks I might have looked over, please feel free to mention them. Here's a picture of the engine bay as it sits right now:
