Wasn't there a problem with dual nozzles "ponding"?

I ran the single nozzle SMC into the low 11's. Norbs dyno'd a single nozzle SMC and said it ran into KR at the 500 HP mark...which would point to a dual being overkill at anything below that. Dan and I would see guys bring cars at the shop with dual setups. None of them raced their cars...but they could tell all their friends at Timmies they needed it.

One of the locals called me about a year ago boasting his car dyno'd 460ish HP and then proceeded to tell me it would run X for an ET. I told him without hitting the track and producing a time slip then it retains Timmies turd status shoulda woulda coulda car. Hasn't called me since.

racing dynos, hahaha now that is cool. I know i've taken money from guys who thought their car would run after it was on a dyno. Like shooting fish in a barrel, "oh, since yours car makes such pah, I'll need a length or two."


The good old days.

Spirit is a cool place. I like it out there in that area a lot.


I bought a known good working kit years ago and it happened to be dual. I can't imagine this kit being overkill seeing as the single nozzle now a days are spraying more. I doubt it's overkill...

And by known good working kit, I'm referring to it as used. It popped up in the for sale section and I bought it. This was of course back before I started reading and learning about these cars.

Phil if you have the round bottle SMC kit the gent on reply 5 has the part number. Slide down to reply 8 and Paul (PACECARTA) has the writeup on how to replace it.
