Morning - just two quick questions on a twin plate system
I have two compucar 100 hp fixed plates atop my tunnel rammed 383 (Took years to find a match for the first one I bought )
My questions for those running two plates:
First - How many solenoids are you running ? Two fuel and two nitrous ? One of each per plate ? Or have you plumbed one fuel and one solenoid to power both plates ?
Second - since I have two fixed 100hp plates - I'm going to assume I am not adding 200 hp to the engine. Maybe I am wrong.
I'm aware these fixed plates aren't the greatest and I could get a lot more out of an adjustable set. I plan to upgrade with the next engine
I used to care but....... things have changed

Boost Gauge hookup? What size line is adequate to hook up a boost gauge. I have some braided brake lines which would look good but the hole in the fittings is tiny. Would they be OK for a boost gauge connection?? Thanks, Max
Never mind I noticed that the input to the gauge was extremely small so anything should work Max

my 2c...
I would call Compucar.
Otherwise it will be tuned by fuel pressure so if it was me I'd put both plates on one solenoid for each side (n20/fuel) of the system and start at 5.0psi and do a short test hit. Due to the lack of jets you can't really change the nitrous to fuel ratio much other than by adjusting the pressure. Once you get a handle on that you can start bumping the timing back in. I'd be running some 110 or C12 and start around 22* total advance.
As far as the "HP" rating of the kit, it's hard to say. Either way you are adding x amount of fuel/nitrous x 2 so yes it is additive in a linear fashion. A true "200hp" nitrous shot will definitely get your attention. Don't be surprised if ends up making more like 250-300 hp if your combo like nitrous.
For the solenoids I'd uses whatever they offer for the NOS Big Shot or Race Fogger. Definitely go with -6 lines for future expansion. I did call compu Car. They weren’t very helpful considering it’s an “obsolete” system I get it- a tunable plate would be preferred.... I think i get what what you’re saying -the plate is fixed- give them the biggest flow at the solenoids you can (such as the big shot)

I think i get what what you’re saying -the plate is fixed- give them the biggest flow at the solenoids you can (such as the big shot) I'm thinking you can tune with fuel pressure, timing and plug heat range just fine if you are way conservative with timing epsecially. If you hear the engine breaking up get out of it immediately something is not happy. Definitely run it on a minimum of 110 race gas. On the solenoids the good thing about the NOS stuff is you can always use them with e 100-300hp plate later on.

Safe blower belt clearance??? Based on your experience what is the minimum clearance necessary between a roots blower belt and anything else? 1/2 inch. But more is better

BOV, best location? As close as convenient to throttle body? Does it's position need to maintain a flow momentum path like a wastegate?'
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

BOV can go anywhere some guys put them right by the inner cooler.

That's great. I would like to try a turbo setup one day. I think it would be fun figuring it out. Ok
