I'm doing a 5" Camden in my REPU. It already has a nice NA exhaust, 2nd gen waterpump, prepped front cover for the oil drain, increased oil pressure and volume, recently rebuilt, stock intake ports (for the truck which are '74 spec). All I need is to swap in a light steel flywheel to offset the Camden's extra rotating weight.

I went from a 6 port streetport to a 4 port 1/2 bridge without much change. The camden just can't breath enough for a bridgeport. I plan on doing electric open exhaust to see how much my exhaust is choking things off. I love the sound of the bridge and the sound of the camden.

Here is how this engine sounded when it was in my friends big turbo fc. You can tell by the idle my exhaust is much more restrictive, so I feel there is power to be found still. Man how my car would go with his turbo, standalone, etc! http://media.putfile.com/bridged-rotary

that car is teh secks. as for the breathing, it has to be better than the 1/2 bridge N/A. NO pull till 4000 rpm! i have a 2.5" exhaust right now, but its pretty much straight through, and loud as hell. (fun to set off alarms though). dont you plan on running NO2 also?

Yep, nos goes on int the spring. And the charger does wonders for the bottom end of a bridgeport. Immediate torque! Here is the full version video of the turbo bridge. http://media.putfile.com/another-bridge-video

I don't understand why you supercharged guys haven't tried water/meth injection. You can run more boost with less detonation, and the methonol is extra octane. I would be scrared to run nitrous on a supercharger. Very risky if you ask me. It would send the engine temps through the roof.

Dont a lot of the pro drag race guys use nitrous and SC's?

I guess it is probably different though on a boinger

Nitrous makes for great chemical intercooling on a roots blower. Many guys have seen more than expected just due to the cooling effect. The max I'll spray will be 100 but I'll start at 50. As for water/meth, i already run the snow performance kit. This spring I am going to relocate the injector to the lower manifold though. It is a good kit and works well, it definitely cools the charge and helps with enabling more timing.

Holley makes a kit specifically for the big blowers. So a plate system should work well on ours. http://www.holley.com/data/Products/...A5118-SNOS.pdf and better yet here is a HotRod magazine test article. http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/e...est/index.html Now I can't wait to give it a shot. I also have plans for a different dizzy modification and I have a spare hood so I am going to cut a hole in it and experiment with a 2" carb spacer as well.
