All this go fast wizz bang trickery stuff, YOU DONT NEED IT!!!! it complicates everything, standard opening on the bottom, nozzles in the hat gets you 7's and 200mph, I have proof!!! No EGT's, just 2 threads of heat on all 8 spark plugs

Didn't you ask me if I had EGTs?
I did not believe what they were telling me so I looked at the plugs.
The bottom of the plugs in 2 and 7 show heat all the way around on the base, but not into the threads.
The rest of the plugs look brand new and show no heat at all.

Ken Veney told me the story about his old Ford Cleveland powered Top Alcohol Dragster. He ran it with all hat nozzels but it always had one relatively lean cylinder that limited the tune up. He decided to run one fuel line to the port on the lean cylinder and went testing. It looked weird but it worked like xxxx. The car went undefeated for a whole season. I believe he ended up running seven other port nozzels that were blanks to keep everyone guessing.

Just a follow up. we did tip the nozzles as suggested, and that helped a lot!
