Oh really the Ric Shaw.. You stated earlier in this thread that you were going to purchase the Interceptor-X.. I am sure that you will have your car by tomorrow.. You must be excited as heck to drive it.. I know I would be.

Have you talked to someone about the nitrous yet ? Our resident guru (before he had to leave) Charles R. Hill was trying to run stuff beyond a 55 shot with the CZ unit, exhaust, intake, etc & was getting detonation. Hopefully since you got the Rick Shaw unit probably you will be able to fine tune the AFR's a bit better. but you better be careful. Don't want you blowing your engine. There was a guy on here that ran a 75shot of nitrous, but he was bone stock. The intake & hi-flow cat. may lean your car out a bit, & with you tuning, even more than that. Maybe some colder plugs.

I been running a 50 shot for a while and i did install colder plugs a while back. I'm praying everything goes well . I will shoot it a bit tommorow and see what happens if it blows i will port the engine let just hope it does not come to that.
