Intake...The carbed and FI use the same castings, so I cut and smoothed off the towers that hold the rails. Also smoothed and blended the Sullivan logo off (they're not paying me, so off it goes lol).

Right now I'm working on the bottom and installing a Wilson ProFlow burst panel

$7000? For a Blowthru? You're having custom headers built anyways aren't you?

Consider how much a teardown and rebuild may be worth to you when you oxidize a hole right through a piston?

Chris Tuten (NMRA Drag Radial 2005 Champ) went through 80 pistons in a season on his N20 motor running mid 8's. His turbo motor ran 8.30's all season in 2005...right up to the championship.

Just putting it in perspective man.
Keep us informed on the build.

I'm sure big-dollar Turbo cars go through the same amount. The only thing your statement tells me is that they did 10 rebuilds during the season. It doesn't imply that the pistons were actually bad due to nitrous.
