Nitrous in bleed ports?

Damn Chaz.....That's cool stuff right there...I guess I bowed out's the Drag Game just about the time all that started getting popular! I think it was '84 when I just up and quit. I was seeing some of the high tec, just kept to my old home built stuff cuz it'z what I knew and it worked!!!

I was always cheap and made do....notice the 1/2" Stratoflex instead'a those fancy AN's!!!!!!! LOL

LOL ... texvec , Ohhh brother it's gotten much worse than that ..

After tons of piston being sacrificed to the aluminum gods they finally figured out it was the fuel causing the meltdowns. Make's sense , since it's the source of heat . The mindset was like many two stroke tuners, make it fat to keep it safe . The problem arises when people start adding timing as a way to burn the excess fuel . Detonation is lurking right around the corner from that .
When NOS came to market , they had no idea what people where going to put their kit on , so they sold them with extremely rich jetting . If you were going to use that little T that came in the kit and splice it in between the stock mechanical pump and the Quadrajet on granny's station wagon it would survive the fuel pressure slump . But try to run those tune ups with todays 500 gallon pumps and it would run faster off the bottle than on .
I had single stage stuff like Willie has , and it ran good . As time went on we started putting a second stage on and it would slow down again . And we hurt a lot of parts till we started stripping fuel and timing away. On the 706 ci big chief I had in my dragster I was 36N / 30F on the first and 32N / 24F on the second . I was scared to death , but when I went to that deal , it never hurt a piston again .
Fast forward twenty years and you get .....

Holley Dominator's that were cut in half became the rage ( called splits ) then they just made four two barrels that sit directly over their perspective pair of ports . Notice that they also have a four air bleed system on top .
Since there is now a void between the carbs , it's a good place to put a "fed from each end" spray bar system . If one down the middle is good , two has to be better .. LOL
Then back to the traditional outside of the runner ( nice billet intake btw ) with a bottom dump nozzle and then one more "soft line" kit up high on the runner . They also like to put a soft line kit on the bottom of the runner between the valley pan and the port for a fifth kit . The black 90* fitting with black soft line going into the plenum under each carb is a fine mist water injection system . On days where the water grains in the air is real low they add a little water to the mix to keep it from detonating . Mad scientist stuff for sure .

all nice but how cool are the rockers

I have always thought it was good to look around to see what others are doing in aircraft , marine , automotive , hydraulic's , pneumatic's , composite's , plastics , metals ... etc . No matter what the particular project we happen to be pursuing at the time , all of it seem's to intertwine to come up with a better end result .

The rockers are made by Jesel Bros. in New Jersey. They have been the lead innovator in the valve train control since the 70's and hold the patents to prove it ....
