I watched a few of your videos and... WOW! Your truck was lighting up all four tires on takeoff! Is it true that you where using a tow program and a small spray of NOS to get in the 12's? Once you got going down the track, your right, there is only a haze of smoke . I have only seen the one vid of you pulling, have anymore? I guess you wont have to be picking up the ladies in your crappy gasser truck anymore. Congrats on your sweet setup.

Thanks!
yeah i was in tow program for the 12.96, but the 12.83 was done in the extreme w/ no purge. im expecting 12.6's next time out. The only things im changing is adding a purge solenoid and also a real nitrous fogger instead of a homeade one. Only pulled once so do more videos doing that.

Need help!

I have a 1997 F150 that has a miss in the engine. It is the 4.6L with 198,000 miles on it. I replaced the plugs about 10,000 miles ago. Suggestions?

This truck also has a TERRIBLE squeaking noise in the left front. I have heard it may be the lower A-arm bushing? What can be done to make this go away?

I have found by cranking up the stereo to its loudest setting normally drowns out most of the unwated noise ie squeeking, grinding, Ball-N-Chain nagging those everyday noises.

Luke, I saw the video over there. Awsome man. As far as the fogger, are you talking about the nozzle? If so, check out Zex. I use their dry nozzle on my setup. It was like $9. But They won't hold NOS, or NX jets. But that's the cheapest I found. And if you get it, get the 1/16th NPT tap from them too. I searched for two weeks through parts stores, machine shops etc. No one had that size. Save the headache and get it too. And FYI, don't try to use a fuel solonoid for your purge, the pressure holds it closed. I found that out the hard way. Good luck man. And BBJ, man we are way to close not to get together some time soon down the road. Later guys.

By fogger i mean the tube that the nozzle sits in. The solenoid that im gonna use for purge is a n20 solenoid that i was using for the main shot, but it was too small for what i need so i bought a bigger one. Hopefully i can get the purge finished up today and turn out some lower #'s this weekend.
