Boost and juiced sounds serious!
Tell me more about your ramp lift, haven't seen that before. Last I remember you were jacking up on cribs.

i have had them for about a year, there are some pics in my cars thread with the firebird on them. called "kwik-lift", company actually shut down during covid. i got it used but new for $1000, new they were almost 2k. has 2 crossbars to jack up with bottle jacks and do suspension work, and has a rear crossbar that you put a floor jack under and jack up, then flip down 2 legs and the whole car is up approximately 30" off the ground.

works for quick maintenance items (plugs/oil changes/maybe drop a transmission/suspension adjustments) but i will still put a car on the cribs to drop a rear or a k member/motor.

Guess I focused on the car and not the ramps LOL That's a cool setup.

long day today. first order of business was the corbeau out of my car and into this car, with new racequip camlock harnesses and jegs sfi steering wheel quick release.

after that osie had bought a procharger bellmouth to install. well it said it fit on prochargers website, but it wouldn't fit over the inlet. him and my daughter worked on the nitrous nozzle in the elbow, but I think we are gonna change to a single dry nozzle instead of a capped off tnt wet nozzle.
@Injuneer using one of your ole NOS solenoids along with 90° hose. this car is violent too. wow. the inlet ended up falling off and requiring us to cut off the side that was supposed to slip over and install a 4" silicone coupler. that resolved that. made 10psi at 4800rpm......lol

we still have to set up the nitrous stuff but awaiting parts.

ill edit a vid later and post it up. hope everyone is well

Off topic, but related. Do you still have the OEM passenger seat out of the Formula? Thinking of trying to sell the complete set of seats to raise some spare change.

Glad you found a use for the Corbeau…… I liked that seat, except the back of my helmet rested hard against upper head restraint. Was better on the street.

I will have to look later today. corbeau sits a bit high even for my short self. awaiting fittings

minor update:

finished solenoid mounting, waiting for some parts to come in (nitrous bottle bracket/pressure transducer/fitting/holley i/o expansion harness/switches.

I noticed a weird chirp the other day when running it up and down the road and figured id check belt tension. noticed procharger belt was walking off crank pulley¡¡¡¡ wtf!

last night took the belts off and found i made a mistake 2 years ago: I put the 3 shims that are supposed to be between the procharger pulley spacer/balancer on as washers under the bolt heads. whoops. balancer was loose on the hub, and pulley spacing was off by .180"

already corrected it but I ordered a new procharger belt as a preemptive.
