I am building a pump gas drags style car... large displacement big block with a carb. The engine should make around 800 naturally aspirated, and we will be spraying on top of that. I would like to build the engine around 13:1, and use a water injection kit. I will have a large hood, but will still have some hood clearance issues with the nitrous plate and and Dominator carb, so I can't really squeeze another plate under the carb. Is it possible for me to use a two stage nitrous plate, one set of nozzles for the nitrous and the other nozzles/jets for the water injection? What about controlling/activation? Is there a variable kit that will bring it in gradually instead of all at once? It is carbed, so it will have to work off of vacuum and a full throttle switch, I presume? Any advice would be appreciated!

We have a progressive kit you can use even if your vehicle is carbed. You will use one of our 1 bar map sensors and a voltage faced controller to controll the system. This is a bit of a custom kit and I don't think Chance has added the 1 bar map sensors to the store yet so if you wanted this for your progressive kit just put it in the comments section. So you will have full controll over how much and when you start spraying. Our controller is the only one that allows you to add a MAP sensor TPS or MAF sensor to a non computer controlled vehicle since it has a 5v output built right into it. Yes we carry vacuum switches to activated that way as well just put it in the comments section and you will just order a bas kit. Go to our store on www.alcohol-injection.com for the universal progressive kit. A M14 nozzle would be your nozzle of choice. As far as having a nitrous nozzle directly accross from the alcohol nozzle probably not a good ideal unless your using a directional fogger nozzle. You can't have the nitrous and alcohol aimed at each other due to the pressure differnece which is extreme. The nitrous could effect the even distribution of the alcohol into the engine. If your fogger aims down then you are a go. | |

The nozzle would not be directly across... it would be two seperate spray bars, no nozzles. Either in a criss-cross pattern, or one above the other, depends on the system. What about using methanol in place of gasoline on the fuel side of my nitrous kit? I usually run a seperate fuel system anyway, so what about a one gallon fuel cell, a methanol safe pump and regulator, and methanol safe fuel solonoid?
