Eh.... I am going to say.. Nothing. Since anything I am putting on isnt a huge power adder. So yup. Nothing.
Michael,
You are finally switching over to Long tubes? I followed your short tube exhaust threads on Corral. I was impressed with the power shorty's could support and you convinced me to stay with 1 3/4" short tubes and go full 3in on my boosted stroker windsor. Like you I just don't like to work on the car with long tubes. What changed your mind?
First of all, I like your decision to use dual power adders while not new, is an easy way to increase performance that people no longer consider. Was wondering how are you going to control the Nitrous, Engine Management System, Arm switch, or WOT switch?Mike I was posting up about it on corral when you were talking about dual power adder setups. I spoke with Mike about doing the tuning with the boost/meth/spray and explained what I was planning on doing and he thinks I can gain some crazy power. I've been doing tons of research and talked to multiple guys who have done setups like this before and if you start with a nice small 50 shot and take it from there you can pick up some serious hp. I'm planning on going with an NX plate kit, bottle heater, automatic bottle opener, MSD window switch, purge kit, a custom panel that sits in the lower din beneath the radio from Speed of sound, and a nitrous gauge in the panel. I plan on doing the install myself and having Mike do the tuning. What type of info are you looking to get more insight on? Its funny, I still have that video you took of my car from when you were at Mike's shop, remember that?
I'm making to much boost (24+psi) before 6,000rpms. As we all know boost is a sign of restriction somewhere in the motor and my shorty headers don't flow well due to their short tube length. I'm hoping by adding the longer tube length that long tube headers have, exhaust flow and velocity will pickup and lessen the restriction.
By adding the full Maximum Motorsport front suspension, room underneath will improve, and handling will also improve. After adding up the benefits, it made sense to do the swap based on the performance level of the car.
