I ran a new best of 151 and tied my best sixty foot ever at 1.15
I got a check for semi's last time out. It's a race car now.

EDIT...
Very interesting and great info.
"Here is a Monte trick, hit it as hard as you can for the first two tenths, then pull your launch timing out. Monte said, everything dead hooks for two tenths..."

I want to put Nitrous on my stock bottom end 318.Of course there are those who say that they will help me pick up my pistons afterward.Please offer some wisdom from those of you that have done it.I am bracket racing and waht to run 13.50.My set up is 318 with j heads with 188 valves.Performer intake and 600 edddy carb.I run 15.60 in the 1/4 mile.Car is a 1972 plymouth duster.Trans is 727.Rear end is 8 and 3/4 with 3.55 sure grip.I will use a 125 power shot system. I'd opt for an adjustable kit, the jetting spread on a lot of kits, especially older ones, are just plain wrong. My car was always consistent on a small shot, but you have to keep tabs on a lot more variables, so I'd look into a pressure controlled bottle heater, and have the kit come on with a WOT and window switch to be able to dial it in consistently. Price on N2O is still up a little by me, that would just mean for a pricey day at the track, especially if you are going rounds

Start at 5.0 flowing fuel psi, then take 6* timing out of it. The best way to tune it is read the plugs and watch the mph on the time slip. Reduce fuel .5lb at a time, or add .5* timing. Never at the same time, always do these steps independent of each other. If you don't see the mph improve, go back. Follow these safe tuning steps , you should be able to put literally hundreds of nitrous passes on that 318 as long as its got a sound ring seal (not an oil burner) youll be fine. My son had a stock junkyard magnum in his car and he prob put hundreds of nitrous passes on it. He would double enter classes and put 20 or more passes on it in one weekend. Good luck and be safe !

Is this going on a new build? If so will there be a thread on it? It's just a 68 Road Runner with a billet HEMI. I call it Bleep! Bleep! Nothing anyone around here wants to see💩

It's been two years today since Monte has passed.
We all miss your intelligent and thought out help Monte. Hope you have the GTX in the sky flying HOW TRUE....TIME FLIES. I still sometimes think about asking him stuff, but then realize he is gone. Im sure a lot of people would not be at the level they are at without his "no nonsense" straight shooter advice. Like it or not he was usually correct. Race in peace my friend.

Yep, there's been several times over the last year I wished I could have talked to him. Such is life. RIP my friend.

I'm new to the blower world and in the final stretch of getting mine ready to run. I will be asking some questions here to try to prepare myself for the launch. Blower is 6-71 on a smallblock.
The first question has to do with the idler pulley. Most pictures I see of setups has the idler pulley running on the teeth side of the blower belt. Is this necessary? It would appear to do just as good a job running on the smooth side of the belt. In fact I need mine to run there to obtain needed clearance. Is there any problem with this configuration?
Thanks, Max
Does not matter which side,they say to use the smooth side for more wrap around the top pulley. I would like to converse with someone running a blown hemi on gasoline.

I want to buy a pair of dominator plates,the middle size would be perfect as I only need a 50 to 100 shot. Are there any plates to stay away from?? Using N2O for intercooling........
