Nitrous Question

[nivvy]

you mean plug the fogger nozzles in from underneath... and have the distibution block by the back of the intake???

Stroker, if you you've never plumbed a Fogger ssytem, you may want to find a local who has to pick their brains. It's very easy to mess up angles and stuff, and that makes it difficult to get the tuning right. Or just send your intake to NOS and have them do it. Plates are easy.. Foggers are not, and if it's not right, damage usually follows...lol.

So just out of curiousity - I was reading another thread about intakes, and the Holley Dominator was recommended - would this intake be good with either of these nitrous set-ups?  I know single-plane was recommended...

I think that intake would be fine,but will you have hood clearance issues?

I read that the holley sat lower....  ?  Did I read wrong?  I mean with a plate system it might get tight....  I haven't gotten that far yet.

Been a while since i've had time to check out CC.com so first i'd like to say hello to everyone again..

Secondly, i've got a question about stall converters when using Nitrous that i'm guessing Tactransman will be able to set the record straight on...

I have a friend who built a Ford 351C engine for NOS and the engine builder said he would need a special 'anti balloon' type stall converter for his C4 auto. From what I remember, it was a lot more expensive then the typical converter. Is one of these really required and if so, at what level of NOS usage would you need one.

Thanks in advance

The extra power of NOs from a launch can put extra pressure on the converter causing the bowl of the converter to "balloon" out. They weld a plate around the converter hub to gusset or bridge the gap to reinforce it.
It is a good idea NOs or not in any serious HP application.


Non "anti-ballooning plate"
