One
Mirage That Is Not An Illusion
A Feature
on Steve Zuckerman's Custom Mirage
Article by Mark Soliman and Steve Zuckerman
This time around, Steve contacted Boatworks for a timing system that would
automatically control trim and nitrous injection, in an effort to make more
consistent runs down the quarter mile with a fresh ’97 2.5 EFI 15” heavily
tweaked powerplant. Heavily tweaked consists of G-Force grinding work,
lightened pistons by Hydrodynamics, Taylor Marine reed cages assemblies,
Brucato SVS intake, 175 HP nitrous alcohol system and lean burn by Nitrox,
self designed nitrous and alcohol purge system, wash down system, lightened
flywheel, special O-ring’d heads and gaskets, remote EFI adjuster and many
more Kay Bee-toy store parts. All this resulted in an estimated 500 ponies
when holding down all the red buttons! Lawrenceburg Marine of Lawrenceburg,
Tennessee and Chuck Goodman of Nitrox/Hydrodynamics participated in the
effort of keeping this powerplant in one piece after a few broken parts.

Left:
Carefully positioned fuel cells.
Right: What's this? The 175 HP Nitrous system looks
scary - before Steve hits the button. Where do I sign up for a ride? |
The fact that this rig is actually used to it’s full
potential is what makes it so special. So far in the first season out,
Steve’s best ET is 9.74 @ 110.97mph and he already placed 3rd in
the ODBA Unlimited class at the 2001 Tennessee Summer Nationals. This
meteorite is definitely on fire and one to watch out for in the 2002 season.

Steve's
"family" boat - a 1998 Baja H2X with a 454 EFI and Procharger. Whoa. |
