I always thought a blown alcohol Hemi should have zoomies. I'm pretty new to fabricating but here we go. I grab some stainless, cut up some flanges, gave them some polish. Made brackets to hold the tubes level and keep the proper spacing. I'll start connecting the dots this weekend

590, how far is your engine set back to give such a clean and nice zoomie exit??? Would love to do that on my Abody smallblock but can't find the room.. Thanks, Max

When you finish post a video so we can hear that animal run with the new zoomies.

Didnt know your engine had a blower on it... dont use
zoomies if it isnt.. a non blown engine needs a collector
to do the scavenge part of it.. blown engines dont play
with the scavenge part so zoomies are perfect to get the
exhaust out quickly(if you dont need muffs)

Thanks Guys! I'm digging it.
I took this pic, I hope it shows OK, I chopped part of the frame rail out of the way last winter to make room for them. It would have been way too low otherwise. I will also cut the very bottom off the fender and raise them up a bit. I've had this on the back bumper before and I really don't want to crush them

Mike I've been doing some changes to my car over the last couple years. First was a 9" with all good parts, second was a set of lamb struts and spindle mount wheels. I'm currently working on a roots blower setup with Hilborn bugcatcher which will end up on my 413. I'm getting close and will have it ready this year. In fact everything in the engine is new to me except the crank and X block. I'm planning on zoomies even if I have to go over the snout bar and tires. At my age I'm sure this will be my last race engine.

590, really looks great!!!!

There are some heads up nitrous cars running zoomies now a days. So I don't know how true that statement is anymore.

Thanks! I'm going to try to make them higher like Skinny Kid did with their new pro mod car if possible. My car burns up so much fuel now, with regular headers when I get to the end of the track my eyes are burning and all I can think about is getting out and getting a fresh breath of air.
Blucuda, throw some alky in it, blowers love it, also put on a hat, going from having cars to injection the throttle response is absolutely unbelievable.

First set of primaries tacked on, everything is lining up nice. This crap is easy. I'm blowing out of here, way too nice to be inside today.

Being that a nitrous engine runs a wide LSA they can get
away with zoomies... but it better be a wide LSA where
there is very low scavaging... better be 116 or better

Thanks Dave, I think it's coming out pretty good for a rookie. The 25.3 the other year I laid my very first welds. I know it's not on par with the pro built stuf but I'm having fun and trying to do a project every winter. I'm really thinking I need a to build a carbon fiber Cuda in the future
