You need the football traction mod...

Thought about it, yes, done it, no... I just did full Koni suspension which did help a lot in weight transfer since I can set the shocks to max stiff on rebound and they wont allow the font to lift so much. This also added to the overall handling of the car and I think compliment it better than air shocks in the rear. I may some day stuff some bags in the rear if needed but right now a set of rubber spring helpers and the Koni's seem to be helping a lot.

Oh and for Christmas...

I love my wife...



Add a second Nitrous bottle to this as well.

The guy at Dyno Tune was blown away that she was able to figure out what I needed and buy it. He said even his wife wouldn't have been able to do that.

For those who don't know... Its a full direct port plumbing kit with a tube bender and all, as well as a Progressive Nitrous controller with integrated WOT switch, no more damn micro-switch on my pedal that screws up all the time.

When your talking about your wheel spin issues, I seem to understand you have them somewhat under controll, but have you thought about air shocks or air bags in the rear, so when you hit the track you can air them up and have the car sit racked, pushing more weight on the front wheels?

I don't have anything against ABS nor do I think it takes any control away from me regarding driving so um no it's staying....

I didn't think you'd let him off so easy .

Hopefully you can get the coils to sit under the cowl hood.. Glad to see that you were able to get some traction and hopefully things will continue to go well!

its nothing i need now, i was looking for next season. doing the 34/3500 swap now.

someone on Beretta.net was selling a set that another user had custom made... so unless you take a phenolic spacer and copy the profile to have someone make these(or if someone else has done that already) then these are the only ones out there that I know of.

I could probably have them duplicated but your looking at about $250 a set minimum and that's just a guess. Plus you still need nozzles.

[stargaazer7467]

sorry if i missed it , but where did you get the direct port N2O adapters?

[bob442]

Is there enough room under the cowl? I've put coils on older camaros there before, that's where that idea came from

Scrap the abs, you dont need it anyways. Take back controll of your pink Demond!

If the car didn't have cruise control I could fit it, but that's just something I'm not willing to give up... I use it way to often.

I may pull the upper and drop these on this weekend just to see what other issue pop up right away... I'm sure there will be more. LOL

My neighbor has an F250 with the 5.4 and he has gone through a few of those coils. He said they weren't cheap either.

The 2004 F150 has 150k on it with the original coils, the v10 Excursion has 140k on it with original coils. Both have OEM, though.

I mounted the coil packs on the firewall on the first Beretta that got our headers, but his car didn't have near the stuff you do under the wipers.

You should bolt them in that shitty location GM used on the Gen II V6 engines. By the oil filter and starter...the boss holes prolly still there too.

Wow, this might work for me actually... I've been searching for a place for my coilpack to go for quite a while...

[Purple pit]

I was going to use that joke, but I thought he would slap me with his foot. The blocks are not the same.

Yeah ultra long wires and a little extra for movement. It's not going to look all that nice. The strut mount bolt is not doing all it could for the car(lol). I'm not much on the ICM and coils bouncing around though. You really need a two point mount. Now how and where is another thing.
