So I should be good to unscrew and just remove all of the linkage so I can attach my microswitch, correct?

It's the linkage to the left of what I've circled. The part I've circled doesn't even make contact

hi, installing the microswitch and this linkage is blocking the mounting. Looks like remnants of a choke linkage, it doesn't do anything or touch anything, just rotates with the throttle. I don't have a choke, am I good to remove it to allow mounting of my microswitch? 4150 mechanical secondaries

Okay, that's making more sense and is definitely a better safeguard against failure of parts. Leaning out isn't killing it, detonation is, if it leans out because of a failure of something but the timing isnt too far advanced, just means loss of power

Well, I certainly try to build knowledge, instead of going in blind to something you can't mess up if you want to keep everything intact.

yes, I was being brief here, I know how it makes power, I'm in high school chemistry right now and went over combustion reactions just like you did in high school. I know you need both, and I'm not sure how to really word it without just writing down the whole book word-for-word, but he...

Got the book, read it a good bit, and I will say it definitely opened my eyes on the theory side of things, especially how it's not the nitrous but the fuel that makes power. The thing directly with the book is the tunes for the jets are very rich from almost everything I've heard. They're...

And crazy how he said he is able to drive home with those cracks, wouldn't have known without telling the crankcase vaccum

Where should I measure vacuum from?

Okay, that's the thing that scares me, you had from the get go double the ring gap on the piston if this PO didn't gap the rings for boost. Would I if I ran such godly low compression in a original high compression motor? Yeah because who would run it NA? I don't know if running 93 in tank and...

Well, it's got aluminum heads and forged pistons so it's kinda like your proper ish version. How much gas do you think you were spraying hp wise after you bored out the solenoid? Did you gap the piston rings also for nitrous, or did you just ball with it?

Well, I know the clutch and behind the clutch. I'm worried more about in front of it, as it also happens to be a lot harder to replace if it kills itself. I know the clutch and trans have it to stand it, and if the clutch or trans doesn't for some reason I've done both myself before on jack...

To do that though, I would need to remove the pistons, which would mean i might as well put in the higher comp pistons, and then not even have to run a higher nitrous shot The fuel system side i can keep up with, I was thinking of a nx safe system. Knowing that, what would you shoot max?

Knowing what you know about the internals, would you run a 200shot of nitrous and not be worried about it exploding? I'm thinking that should get me to at least 520hp, which is hopefully enough to push me faster

I mean, I might be able to find room to do a swap, whether it being a friend or something, I don't even know if anyone is over in the Chicagoland area with a garage from here and is willing to put a car for a weekend in it. I don't want to put in a supercharger, but nitrous would be fun. I don't...

Okay, looks like I can run the 2316s and be within weight to where I don't need to balance, now my other thing is I really don't have space to put a engine on a stand, much less fit both a cherry picker and get the motor out. Is it possible to do this replacement with the engine in car at all...

Oh I'd be under budget, a gasket kit is 150$ and rings are another 100$ Also, summit says the wrist pins are of the press-in style for those pistons. How does that work with the rod that is bushed for a floating pin? Only question is do I redo my main and rod bearings? I don't know, some may...

Well i know it won't cost Mallory but I'm just saying even taking it to the shop. I mean, I'm reading forums and people aren't caring over a 20gram or so weight change, so I might run it honestly. With the compression change, i should be golden as far as the rest of my setup goes, right? I don't...

Well, my only issue with this is balancing i think is at like 300$, pistons are 700$, and holy hell I'm at half what a cast scat crank 416 stroker kit is. And it's required to balance the crank for new pistons, right? I can't just drop in a set of the stock replacement 70 340 pistons? 16 grams...

On another note, how would you feel about running some nitrous through it? Like a 125-150 shot, maybe more. At max 200 shot. Pistons are the 2835 discontinued .030 over pistons. Given I have supposed 8.39 to 1 compression, it should be a bit more forgiving than a 10.5 to one motor to tune as a...
