Started tearing it apart a little early so I can take my time and clean it up a little. We made a tent to do the swap in with light and a propane heater...

You can do it down here also during test and tunes, which wont offer you a time slip, but other than that, they will kick you out.

That's where I had the lines for my intercooler on my old setup, so I used the same spot for my nitrous fuel line, nitrous line and fuel return line, works nicely.

You're right, the hose goes through, the hose with a fitting doesn't. At least not with what I was using.

Absolutely. $900 is cheap insurance. Even for a 12 second vehicle. What if the faster car snaps an axle and T-bones you as he's coming past. All of a sudden your not so fast vehicle is sandwiched between a missle and an immoveable object. Also its amazing how much stiffer a chassis becomes with a cage. Progress is looking good, keep it up!:clap2:

Nice ET, what was the mph? Was that on the bottle? My local 1/8th mile doesn't tech street cars, so I'll be good to T&T there, but eventually I'm going to need to put in a bar.I went to test and tune tonight, ran my truck 10.991, got a time slip and all they told me is thats a damn fast truck...

This y block and the fittings fit just fine under mine :huh:
Its actually a 8 point not a 6 point and the entire cage would be in the cab.
