Other manufacturers may change a hole location here or a tip angle there, but in reality, there really hasn't been a breakthrough in nozzle technology in the past 20 years... until now. The most important function of a nozzle is to properly mix and atomize the correct amounts of nitrous and fuel. Current designs spray a solid stream of fuel at the nitrous stream and hope that it will atomize properly. Other designs are forced to be run excessively... (more)

With this formula, you can determine the compression height of your pistons. a = Block Length (centerline of crankshaft to deck surface) b = Stroke of Engine c = Rod Length d = Deck Clearance Formula: a - (b / 2 + c) - d Example: 9.025 - (3.50 / 2 + 6.00) - .025 = 1.250... (more)

The MSD Soft Touch Rev Control, PN 8728, is designed for inductive style ignition systems. It cannot be used with an MSD CD Ignition such as any 6 or 7 Series Ignition Control. The Rev Limit is set with plug-in rpm modules. When the rpm reaches the specified limit, the Control will randomly drop the spark to the cylinders to keep the rpm at the limit. If no module is installed, there will be no rev limit.... (more)
