What brand did you use?

I really like XRP and they have a very complete catalog

I used XRP for the unusual fittings like a right angle ORB-to-female AN. They have a lot of those types of fittings that help simplify my fuel system. I went with Russell for the more standard hose ends and hose stuff. My wife found a good deal at Advance Auto Parts where you get $50 off of every $125 you spend. We broke the big Russell order into smaller $125 chunks and saved $50 on each chunk.

Yes, it is a coupon on slickdeals.net. It is not on all of the time. You have to watch for it.

My New Years resolution is to put my car on a diet . You add this and ad that and before you know it you have a heavy car . Last time I weighed my car it was in Top Dragster mode with all the nitrous stuff it was 1585 . I think I can get rid of about 150 lbs . I got a set of the lightweight Goodyear tires thanks to Jon Hansen . Going to an alluminum spool , lightened ring gear aluminum valve body pump and drum in trans . Lighter Battery . Any one have some idea's Thanks Bill.

Bill...without spending any money you could take "park" out of the transmission, shorten all bolts to the minimum length needed and drill lightening holes in levers, pedals etc.
