[TPR] NOS? Engine progress

Thu Feb 10 13:56:26 PST 2011

I could be wrong here and Rowdy will let me know if I am  but the new 
progressive computer controlled NOS systems don't dump the entire 100% NOS load 
so conceivably you can bring it in slowly enough....I'm sure the control units 
managing system aren't cheap but neither is a new engine or ZF gears.

If I try it -- it will be on a Torino type first --- where I could debug and 
learn on something that costs less than the ZF. I have that Lentech Ford 
Automatic Overdrive in the Ranchero and 9" Ford housing that will fit the 
Ranchero. Also 9" jugs in 2.75, 3.00, 3.25, 3.50, 3.70, and 4.11. A limitted 
slip unit and a PowerTrax unit new in the box.
