If you come up with something crafty on the meth would love to see it.

I had it apart this weekend to install the JB4. I don't think there will be any need to make pipes.
I asked BMS if they had #5 nozzles. If so I think I'll run 2 pre intercoolers and 2 post intercoolers just to test.
The tanks look pretty sturdy. I think I'm going to drill and tap them so I can put in 1/4" NPT to 1/8" NPT bushings. I'll use the same adhesive that they glue the Corvette bodies to the frame around the bushing to reinforce it. It will be super strong. Then the 1/8 NPT Meth nozzles will screw right into them.
I sometimes see IATs in the 40* range after the intercooler, when spraying a lot of Meth, on a Corvette. If I blow 40*air through an intercooler that is ambient temperature, at best, it's going to warm it up rather than cool it down. This is all hypothetical of course because I have no idea what the air temp/ meth mixture will be before the intercooler.
The reason for blowing some of it through is just to atomize it better. I'll probably experiment doing that, then try twin #10 nozzles after the intercooler and see what works best.
As you said, you know me and know that I love to experiment and make things better. (or at least try)
