The nitrous octopus

 

 

Wire tuck. Nitrous tuck. Fuel pump tuck. What's next?

 

Slammed ride height, hella flush wheels, and a giant sticker across the windshield?


Just playing, I'm so very happy to see progress!

 

 

I can't imagine flaring stainless w/o a high end tool. What are you using? I used this ATD tool that was huge improvement over typical flare tools- but it wasn't easy, and on mild steel.

 

I am currently on the hunt for the right tools.

 

My buddy has one like this (pretty sure its not this exact same one, but it looked very similar):

Ive use a few times on stainless and it works well. Although its a little bulky to get into tight places.

 

I have one of these




Totally amazing on SST tubing.

Tricky to get bends close, though

 

Nice work on the hardline plumbing.

 

EFI Hardware are like 5 minutes down the road from my work its such a small world

 

I got the inspiration from reading Savington’s build thread. The EFI parts made the most sense considering the lack of real estate caused by the larger lines. Shipping was a bit steep.

 

well i drive past there every now and then when i go for lunch if you need anything more just ask i can post it from work

 

 

 

Holy **** *****. So I haven't read 50 pages of your build, but in 2010 you stated you'd do nitrous. Is this 8 years later and finally nitrous? Or is this 2nd or 3rd gen?

 

 

Hahaha! Hahahha! Haha! Hahaha!

Sorry to interrupt. Please continue with your thread.


Troy's been quite busy as a struggling small business owner, a new husband, then a new father, and someone afflicted with "while I'm in there I'll go ahead and do this too" disease. I'm not sure which will arrive first, his first quarter mile time slip or his first social security check. We joke with him a lot because we really want him to get finished.

But seriously, it looks good, Troy.

 

 

Progress! OctoNOS! or is it NOSctopus?

First time around I had "I'll do it later". This time around I had the "go ahead and do this too". Took me five years to get the car on the ground the second time. So yeah, I get it. And the kids thing.
