Right now ive got a 12 gal tank with all the valves directly on the tank.
i want to get up quick as possible in the front so i want to move the valves to the nose, maybe even a small tank to the nose also but keep my 12 in the trunk


do i need to split the valves between the two tanks? will the 12 still be able to fill the nose if the tank in the front is running to them?
i think i can fit a small tank or skinny 5 gal between the front bumper and radiator with the right brackets


its a 95 lt1 bigbody (my avatar) got some time this winter so i want to do something new

heres some pics of what ive got right now

ive also got four 450s

heres what under the hood looks like

heres my trunk setup ( of course ive got carpet)

you know you should sheild them air filters from the turbelant air the fan puts off


itll run better and your gas mileage will improve

cool alot of people do that and dont sheild them the air from the fan will defeat the purpose of the open filters entirely sometimes itll even cause them to throw codes

also

you know theres a coolant line that runs to the throttle body you can bypass that and it will get better gas mileage and have more power at op temp too

it rather simple you just need a longer hose from the coolant reservoir to reach to the line on the other side of the motor that goes back to the transmission


searh for info on 4th generation camaro's or b body's caprices and wagons


all kinds of little tricks for these motors that free up a few extra hp and make them run better/ more efficient

 

[REV. chuck]

its that hose on the other side of the engine is a line it connects to that runs back to the transmission coolant you just unplug the hose from the throttle body and plug it into the tranny line


yours might be done cause i could have sworn it was on the same side as the coolant resorvoir in my caprice

hard to tell from pics

I have mine up front, under the hood, near the fenders, so they're not directly on the bag.
They're just zip tied in right now, but I think there's just enough room to mount them on the inside of the fender (above the wheel well).
Mines a little different cause I have the 93 and no LT1, but it looks like you might have room, at least on the passenger side.

I also have a 12 gallon tank. I run it at 175psi. The first hit the front lifts perfect. Fast, but not too fast. It slows from there. I'm gonna up to 200psi and hope I get a few more good hits out of the front.

HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE TB BYPASS LT1 TB BYPASS
MY VALVES ARE TUCKED IN SIDE MY FRONT BUMPER ALL GO TRY AND GET A PIC FOR YOU

 

[seven0seven]

HERE A QUICK PIC YOU GET THE IDEA I JUST GOT THEM ZIP TIED RIGHT NOW IM ABOUT TO REDO THE HOLE SET UP THO

There is enough room to mount the valves onto the fenderwells even with the LT1's. I had a customer bring in his car and they were just ziptied in place. I made some brackets for them and mounted them permanently. Just be careful how you route your air lines. Those engine bays get really hot. When you route them from the back of the car to the valve and then to the bag you end up with the air lines very close to the exhaust and the manifolds. Take your time so you aren't blowing air lines.

thats what i was thinking
might have to invest in steel breaded lines
