78 with 76 cams, dyna ignition, coils, single solex carb conversion, Edelbrock and NOS 50hp nitrous shot, zex air amplifier, piranha nitrous nozzle, cry02 purge. I tried it out with dry nitrous system, couldn't get it to burn real good, now I'm adding the wet side to the nitrous and I'm going to inject it right into each intake runner. Alot safer for the engine.

As steve has said, I have had it on my 78 for years. Both fun,...and a bit scary. Unless you are using copper head gaskets, I might suggest you do. Some lessons are learned the hard way :lol: :lol: :lol:

To much use of the NOS can eat up the standard gaskets. Copper holds up. Mine lasted a while, but went to copper and installed a ring around each cyl. not had a problem since. Ofcourse every system is different

What type of ignition? And yeah, there is no way you can run a dry system with carbs.

Winston ran some on one of his early bikes. I think Wingrider is preparing one for his hybrid.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Yea Winston still has it on his street bike. The race bike is supercharged.
