Yea someone else told me that the MSD coils have alot higher failure rate than the factory set up. I know Indexing wont add a heck of a lot if anything, but I figure it wont hurt either it only cost about 10- bucks for the washers and about an hour to do the job. As far as plugs go, do you go colder or hotter when you raise compression?

Colder in general, on the spark plugs. It has also been proven that the MSD coils DO NOT have great output either. They have have less than our common LS1 coils.

I'm gonna go with NO2 next. The guys at Cincy have a killer 150 shot that is safe to run all day long. The set up that Tracey showed me, the controls set in the cup holder and looked great. That means alot to me. Not only do I want the power but I want the looks. I thought about a ProCharger but for what I do on weekends the NO2 is the obvious choice. I installed the NGK T6 plugs after I installed the headers and CAI. Also the very next thing I buy is a set of ZO6 18" rims and some slicks.

Do you have any plans of getting your heads ported, or are you gonna leave em as is? Who makes that N2O set up? Is it a wet system or a dry system? I'm thinking about juicin too, but I've never used it before, and really don't wanna melt down the motor. any way hows your cars street manners now? I like how loud mine is. sometimes I'll pull up next to someone on their cell phone at a stop light, and you can tell they are annoyed by how loud the car is. ITS AWESOME! I definitly like the lope too.

I use only wet kits on any of my LS based cars. If done right, they are the safest and most powerful. Like anything else, there is a right way and a wrong way to do anything. A big key is taking all immediate control away from the driver and automating the trigger process. This eliminates much of the human error that gives nitrous its scary history. A wise man once told me, "Nitrous doesnt blow up cars,people blow up cars."

Give us a call Rick. After that you will have one BIG problem. Getting enough tire to hold that thing to the ground.
