  Awesome!!! :-) That's really good to hear! From the way you described
it in another post, it sounded as if you were spraying everything down
the TB with a nozzle similar to the NOS dry "air hat" systems. (Maybe I
confused yours for a setup you were describing on one of your buddies' Daks.)

   Anyway, I'm glad to hear that its a spray bar; that'll save me a lot of
hassle!

  I'm a bit confused about the location and orientation of the spray bars
though... What do you mean by the bars are on the "sides"? Do you mean
they're off to the sides of the plate? I take it each bar sprays fuel and
nitrous, not one bar for each substance? Is this the "twin gemeni"(sp?)
setup?

  Patrick, aren't you an NX dealer now? Do you recognize this system? If
so, how much $$$?

  Questions, questions, questions. :-)
