    Thoughts on electronic water pump over regular performance pump?

    If you're running and electric fan then you should have upgraded you alternator and wiring already! I'm guessing that since you didn't that you are also not running a fan controller. Both of those neglected items can spell "under hood fire". I am glad however, that this has not happened...

    460 ci. Ford in an RV Wanna run nitrous

    Figure a regular ole RV cam. Probably power peaks around 4500 - 4800. Rev peak 5000-5400. Makes torque off idle and has decent mid-range.

    got me a free Ranger

    I woulnd't be able to leave something like that alone. 302 HO, beef up the drivetrain a little, put some great breaks on it and make it a mini-towing power house.

    Have you seen this new DEI concept! AMAZING!

    Appearantly... There was a pretty significant advantage to be had to completely atomized fuel + forced induction that was had from expanding the aircharge within the intake. He put some sort of check valve in the intake so that the air/fuel misture had no where to go until the intake valve...

    460 ci. Ford in an RV Wanna run nitrous

    No idea what the thing weighs but could probably find out easily enough. If a 50 shot will add 20 MPH to the hill climb then we're in there! :nice:

    460 ci. Ford in an RV Wanna run nitrous

    I'm not sure that would be necessary given the cooling effect of the nitrous itself. :shrug: Keep in mind that this is supposed to be a relatively small shot of nitrous. One other thing is that water/meth would require additional tuning to make use of it. The timing controller I think...

    460 ci. Ford in an RV Wanna run nitrous

    Initially, I thought about that as well. However, all we'd really be doing is adding air and fuel to the combustion mixture. So long as the motor internals were able to handle the additional pressure (which I think it is... the motor is not putting out near what a 460 is capable of handling...

    A 50 wet shot might actually do the trick if we're able to gain 100+ ft/lbs of torque from it. I'm actually more concerned with the tranny temp than engine temp. Even in the worst climbs, the engine and cooling system do very well.

    460 ci. Ford in an RV Wanna run nitrous

    I don't see a 50 or 100 wet shot "blowing the motor sky high" unless the tune is so out of whack that it leans and goes boom. We're looking at a relatively small shot of nitrous on a big block to increase torque... not a big shot that will propel it down a quarter mile. In other words, the...

    460 ci. Ford in an RV Wanna run nitrous

    Thanks for the suggestions so far. I'll refer to the original post when I say that a turbo is pretty much out of the question. For the most part, these RV motors are "entombed" and a pain in the arse to access and modify. Running the all the piping and extra "crap" for a turbo would be...

    460 ci. Ford in an RV Wanna run nitrous

    Yeah.... that's still an option but a blower usually means higher octane gas. I'd like to get this done with a large enough shot that it'll make the torque target above but still be able to run 87 or 89 octane gas. I figure that with a nitrous system, we'll able to jet the thing so that we...
