It's a wet kit. I already ordered a nitrous outlet fogger nozzle and a corded push button for the activation switch. Just waiting for everything to show up. Going to start installing the nitrous stuff tomorrow. And finish it once everything else shows up. And I am also going to install the meth kit since I have everything for that. Indeed to get anotherbing welded to my intake tube. The current bung is about 5" from my iat sensor which is just before the bend to the tb. Should I use that one for the meth and get one welded directly across form it?

Started on the meth kit install yesterday. Found out that the optima yellow top battary is about 1" too tall. So I ordered a battery box and a battery shut off to install in the bed. I got the smaller belt in so I installed the 3.6" pulley. Saw about 9.5 psi at 6k rpm. Adjusted the shift points to 6300 but my laptop died so I couldn't log it but it was about 11 psi. And it just pulled. Lol. Will get vids soon

How much boost do you plan on throwing at it down the road?

Got the battery relocated to the bed. My battery box and cutoff switch have not arrived yet. Should be here by Friday. The custom tank that I bought doesn't fit in the stock battery location so I'm going to mount the tank in the bed. I moved the PCM to the stock battery location. Freed up a lot of room in the engine bay. It's coming together nicely

It's already a blast. Only getting better. The battery box and cutoff showed up today. The terminals on the cutoff are too big for my wire ends so I'm going to have to figure something out by Friday so I can hit the track Saturday morning
