Hey Bruce don't help this guy to much, he's already won the track championship in N/E 2 of the last 3 years.
Changing the subject alittle, have you gotten your car in the 7.40s yet?

TopspeedLowet

Well, I hope to see the 7.40? killer ET time slip this coming saturday. BEAST is coming to our northern playground on the 13th. We are looking at a mid 70 temps on the extended forcasts for now.
PS. Sorry Dean, I didn't mean to help enable your competition. :lol:
I hate to see a racer needlessly wreck there stuff though.

No he runs N/E, and is a great guy, and married to a lady even nicer than he is. I was just giving him a hard time. I glad he's running in N/E not in Electronics. He's just one of those guys that quitely goes to the next run everytime. He shaking everybodies hand wishing them good luck, I'm thinking thats his game plan be super nice and no one has that killer instinct to out run you. lol. Heck win I lose the other racer gets standing ovation.

With braided hose the - number indicates the size in sixteenths of an inch. - 8 is 8/16 or simplified 1/2 inch. -10 is 10/16 or 5/8.
-8 = 1/2 ID. -10 = 5/8 ID

This post is full of excellent information. However, it's about oil, not NOS, not fuel, not water. The viscosity of oil is heaver than all of the above. Fittings do indeed create flow problems.

Two purposes of oil:
1. Create seperation between two parts
2. Transfer temperature away from metal

Fittings-
-8 45 degree ell has the resistance of 8 feet of straight line
-8 90 long radius ell has the resistance of 10 feet of straight line
-8 90 std radius ell has the resistance of 15 feet of straight line
-8 180 ell has the resistance of 25 feet of straight line

If you have ever seen the oil schematic of an engine, you would wonder how the oil can even do its job. The pressure path is unbelieveably complex. Oil restricters, additional side plumbing on the side of the block (force feeds every main bearing), polishing and blending any passages and the use of accumilaters are insurance for the life span of your engine.
Too little pressure and you have failure. Too much pressure and you have failure.

Phew, sorry! I'll go back to bed now....

And,i Fully Understand the Flow Deal on the Fittings!But,most of my Lines are shorter than 18"s.

Well....

I have all 8AN w/ two 90's from the filter on block to front of the car under drivers side by radiator remote (It is BBC solid lifter) on , a 69 Camaro. This works well; but this car has only seen street at this time. 75+ psi @ start up, 20+ @ operating temp. I get pressure quick upon immediate ign. I had the filter on block, but it sooo close to Hookers that it got really hot & was hard to change too. I put on a single remote, seems all good so far... I hope I did this OK. I am still learning though. My motor is not as wild as some of the others here too. What i do not know yet is how it will operate at high RPM 1/4 mile runs yet. So far so good. Scooter

hey scooter iwanted to mount mine the exact same place, but topspeed lowet (bruce) has some really valid points NOT to put it in that location. let us know how yours works out under acceleration and on cold starts thanks chevy art
