SR Nikki Add-On options... Need Input Please
I would like some ideas/input for some add-on options you guys want. So far we are offering: Powder Coating, -AN modification to your fuel inlet pipe, in-line fuel filter and 90 degree angle.
Any other ideas for "options" that we don't already offer? Thanks!!!

I've got a few spare intakes laying around, Let me see what I can do to come up with something to compliment our carb. Great idea!!! Thanks.

bad 83 posted how to do the boost-prepping here. I don't know the details of how yours are set up, but chances are you already do most of that.

Thinned throttle shafts definitely. This is a really worthwhile mod. Add some button head screws if you can find them.
Considering that all the tension on the primary throttle shaft is on one side, I don't see how bending across the thinned middle section of the shaft could be a big issue. All you have on the opposite side is the OMP linkage which really doesn't provide much resistance. As long as you ensure that the stopper on the OMP linkage doesn't hit it's WOT stop mark before the stopper on the secondary tab (assuming you have mech secondaries) then there shouldn't be bending at WOT either. Those are my thoughts anyway.
Choke wise you could do a standard removal and just leave the fast idle setup like Sterling did.
Maybe a vacuum secondaries option for people who are opposed to mech secondaries.

I finalized my mech. secondary design tonight... and the good news is it's completely reversable in seconds. One screw, flip a bracket around and your back to vacuum if you wish.

Trim off the booster venturi's arm that extends across the throat, smooth out the casting lines on them as well. Narrow the side of the arm that is left and give it an airfoil cross section.
None of this is IT legal, but my flowbench says it works great.

Nice! I was already removing the arms. Where in florida are you?

What are your thoughts on trimming the OMP nozzles back. I know Sterling does it. After studying the design, I think that it's necessary for the nozzles to almost touch the outside of the boosters, so that oil is mixed in with the fuel from the AP, and doesn't just dribble down the sides of the barrels + manifold.

It would be really cool for broke college students like myself if you offered a barebones machine service; i.e. I disassemble my carb and send you the parts that are machined as part of the modification, then you send those back to me and I put it all back together myself. Less labor and turnaround time for you and many precious Taco Bell burritos saved for me.

I wouldn't think that there is anyway that the fuel would be guaranteed to disperse evenly inside the housings once it gets going. I could just be a paranoia thing for me but I would think that it could cause serious seal on housing problems if it happens to not disperse to one side. That could just be me though.
