Hope you guys like it! took 14 hours to install! it was a PAIN IN THE ****! i was up from 12 pm to 4am, yes i was up with spotlights trying to finish lol..















Right now its just a 25 shot. i havent had a chance to use it though because i have a leak in the solenoid and i need to patch it up. im thinking jbweld to just seal it around it. i plan on going to a 35 shot and then a 50 shot with stage 3 eventually. for now this will do!
This setup is a COMPLETE SLEEPER. you cannot see anywires, no solenoids, NOTHING! the only thing you can see is the tank in the trunk and 2 buttons under the radio. only negative is i had to drill into the body to run the cables as you can see. i did fill them with caulk though as to not let in any outside. i ran the cables through the sideskirt of the car and up through the wheel wells. the solenoids are mounted over the intake.
the last picture you see is the hose for the purge kit. it shoots it right out of the front. its pretty kickass! lol the only things i didnt install is the bottle warmer(which will wait because its not needed) and the pressure gauge which will probably happen tommorrow. im also thinking about getting an rpm switch so its controlled by the tach and not me. oh btw it only activates if the switch is on and the throttle is WOT. i didnt get a chance to snap a pick of the sensor but i will and post it up (camera died).
Hope you guys like it! its pretty awesome! lol also ill get some purge shots when i fix the leak

What is that tank? It looks like the O2 tank that my granny carts around because her lungs are ****.
Hehe, only kidding. Looks sweet man. I could never drill holes in my car but good for you for having the grapefruits. I am sure you will enjoy it.
Really though...what's in the tank?

Hope that dry shot works out for ya man. Havent heard of anybody actually spraying with a dry shot on these cars yet. I would reccomend getting an rpm switch and a bottle warmer. The bottle warmer is VERY important.
is ur balt stock or did u tune it? hopefully u got them plastic manifolds upgraded cuz thats askin for problems.... I had a friend install a dry shot on his stock SS and blew the manifold right out.. messed his **** up BIG time

i went with a small dry shot because if you place a dry shot infront of the maf (shot size 20-35 usually) the MAF can sense the cold air and dump fuel accordingly. also a small dry shot does wonders for cooling also. trust me if i was shooting for power wet would be the only way! dry shots are wonderful and great and easy to install, but when it comes to bigger shots you need ALOT of tuning so the computer can dump alot of extra fuel.
that is why i went dry, our ecu does all the work for us, no tuning for such a small amount. plus we all know that the stage 2 tune is rich and if i have to make a lil changes here or there i can (hpt)
also you can always upgrade to a wet
another thing is im pretty much maxed on internals and the stage 2 injectors. so i wont be shooting more power yet

^^ funny lol. ill let you guys know how everyting goes when i get this solenoid issue figured out. ill put up 2 logs with and without and maybe go to a dyno
dry shot isnt bad at all. u just need the computer to know when u need fuel. hence why its before the maf. pretty simple

lol that picture is hilarious
I'm not a fan of how you ran the nitrous line but goodluck...hopefully your injectors have enough room to compensate for the nitrous.
I'm assuming you had some wiring problems if it took you 14 hours to install...those can easily add a couple hours into your install time

nice sleeper style. why the dry shot. risky dude. wet shot > dry shot FTW. idk, hope it works out. Watch out though, u could crack ur manifold. Seeing as it's plastic and you have alot of COLD gas going through. Idk, very risky. Hope everything works out.
Wow, it took that long and all you have is a dry shot? At least add another solenoid and make it wet, do it right the first time and you can easily upgrade later.
The MAF is not designed to auto-tune for you. Bad idea to spray before it and assume it will correct everything. It does fine tuning, the maps won't even be close to what its gonna see with freezing temps hitting it. Good luck.

If your injectors are already pretty much maxed out how do you expect the maf to compensate more more fuel? Too bad there isnt a way to tell if it would work without having the engine running.
