well..i've pretty much done all i can do with this within the amount of $$$ i am willing to spend on it..i was at Z1 last night..and we started checkin out the car..we wanted to make SURE the new bolts i had would replace the studs..we started getting into it and realized that the map sensor clearance issue was actually NOT solved..then we ended up using two different methods to attempt to remove the studs..we ended up snapping 2 before i pulled the plug on this..i no longer feel comfortable installing this kit in my car..so..im doin what i gotta do..i already have the parts for a dual fogger kit set up..and the NOSzle parts are on ebay now..i was close..but its really WAY more involved than i thought it would be..so..thats that

That's a shame man, but it's never easy being the pioneer in these kinds of things, and it does cost you a whole lotta money so I don't blame you. I wouldn't want to tear up my car to make it work either. Just go with a wet kit and be done with it, it's simplier and very effective!2002 Black Firebird:<br />A4, Y87, W68, T-tops<br />Best NA ET: 15.16 @ 90<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/darksde02\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/darksde02</a>

yeah..i mean im disapointed because sure..part of it was trying to be a poineer..but at the same time..i dont think theres going to be THAT much of a performance difference..my goal is 12s..and everyone here whos run 12s with nitrous has done it on a fogger setup..i probably COULD do it..but its gotten to the point where its just not worth it to me anymore..we could pull the engine to deal with the studs/fuel rail..create some sort of custom fuel rail to deal with clearance..but..f*ck that..thats not worth it to me..i'll just run the dual fogger..be done with it like you said..i'll have the window switch to minimize backfires..it'll be cool<b>12 SECOND DUAL STAGE DRY NITROUS POWERED 98 A4 V6 CAMARO<br /><a href=\"http://www.mysickcamaro.50megs.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.MySickCamaro.50megs.com</a><br />Best ET: 12.82@103<br />Best MPH: 104.7<br />Best 60\': 1.75 - Stock TC</b><br /> </font><blockquote><font size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">quote:</font><hr /><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Originally posted by Shodown:<br /><strong>1DV6 runs 12\'s...enough said. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">

you really need to pull the lower intake off and fix that. Anything good isnt easy or cheap. Even if it takes a little more time and costs a little bit more, it'll be worth it.

Ohh well.. but like said earlier pioneering things gets expensive.
thats why they say when you work on your car, take half what you expect to spend and add it on top of your original number and thats what it will cost.-Eric<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangeater82\" target=\"_blank\">2000 NBM V6 Camaro 5-speed</a> T-top <i>converted</i><br /><b>14.467@95.45mph</b> <i>$0 in mods</i><br /><i>The member formerly known as MustangEater8251</i>

hahaha...ahhhh its ok..im a little dissapointed but..knowing me..im sure i'll think of something just as crazy down the line..i liked the idea of being a pioneer in something..for those that helped me throughout this..thank you..dont think it was a waste..i learned a LOT more about tuning and nitrous than i already did..and that will help me a lot in the future and with my fogger setup..its really been a great try..and people can say whatever they want about it..and its been pretty stressful..so for now..i wanna enjoy some juice!
