An expensive one.

Only speculating, but everything the guy does is expensive so....

A wet-install of nitrous I'd assume, he also usually doesn't take shortcuts.

My big question is....how long till Pro has to get a 250-shot for his motor.

It's a cheater kit, wet plate system. Good up to 250 horse, though I'll start with 150 until I toast my drivelines and then move up from there.

I think you should use the cheater system for the first stage then use a direct port pro fogger system for second stage, and combine them for the third stage. then you can nuke a lot more than just a driveline

You'll have a whole lot of stroke when your piston and connecting rod sheer off the journal and straight down the oil pan.

Maybe his engine and soon-to-be clamshell front will fly by you when Ivan hits ignition and it TAKES OFF, but I assure you the 44 Swampers will drag the rest of the metal to a halt. SOMETHING will go flying by, just not his whole truck.

We tease ya cause we like ya . And LOVE carnage. If I can't live it, I'll watch it.

So cooling system is pretty much wrapped up and I managed to get my exhaust done too. All I need to finalize that is a couple hangers and 2 clamps. I've got the mufflers hung temprarily though and they sound great. The electric cut outs are wicked cool, push a button and it's nasty, loud, open exhaust. Just got to get off my butt and regear the axles and then things will really start moving.
