That could be fun! I am going to work on the thing most of Saturday, but I will probably need a break sometime during the day!

Awesome! Yeah it would be even better if you guys could come to my end of town. I do have some pretty good roads up here.

Sounds like the ones with the N/A cars are stuck in the peanut gallery. Hey, bring us some oxygen tanks up here!

Btw, you all are getting ripped off in Henderson! I'm paying $2.399 for premium fuel in this part of town.

I've got to do mine one of these days. Did you think that kit came with enough line? It seemed short to me.

It had enough to run a nozzle up to my feet and most of the way into the engine bay, but its about 12" short from getting to a good place in the engine bay. I called them and they said you can get that tubing from any hardware store.

Cool, I think that I'm going to run a third line near the cats and turbos or maybe one up each side. I figure if a fire starts anywhere it'll be there.

Ty - I would call them and see if they recomend a second system since you want so many nozzles. They only give you two in the kit.

In other news...

The Seibon TS hood and Sparco hood pins are on!!!!!!

I think that I got a 3 nozzle kit. I'll check.

Did you get the hood to latch?

I have an update:

I am going to be taking my Pathfinder to the auction so I will not have my Z here. But, the auction is starting at 10, not 11, so I am hoping to make it back home and then back over here. If we can keep it short, that would be great, I have my family in town.
