I have been thinking about the window switch and how critical it is. Should there be a kill switch wired into the SC electric clutch so if the IC pumpfails it won't spray since your port is 3' in front of the SC? Were youthinking about moving the nozzle to the wye after testing it like you are doing?

This is mod is definitely on my list. Thanks.

What's a ball park for a self install "cheaters" mod like this, $700?


Yes, datalogs show plenty of fuel, timing, and good IAT's with the SL55 pump, TTM 550CC injectors, and stock HE and IC pump. If the fuel pressure was to drop, I have a FPSS (fuel pressure safety switch) tied into the ground to kill the nitrous (fail-safe).

As for the clutch, "what you talk'n about Willis"? An IC pump failing within a 11 sec run is pretty slim, and if it did it wouldn't matter. If the IAT's climb too high the SC will cut off and timing will be retarded. I'd feel the drop in power right away and know something was going on and abort the run anyway.

I think I've got around $800 in the kit and $50 in the install, but I went 100% used -- except for the fuel jets and the adjustable FPSS. Gotta love Craigslist, as this would be $1,300 easy if I was buying new.
