Fast Fred's Secrets of the OMC MOD50's Thread #1

[Roy Hodges]

you can dust it in the airbox, but on a big hit it tends to freeze the reeds open
and the cyl drops,

Fred,
The first time we used NOS we just shot it in front of the carb inlet. Ran a fuel line and NOS line. Ran this at St. Louis on the V6 the same year Mercury came with brakes. Later units were put into the intake manifold just in front of the reeds. Never had a problem with reeds freezing open. Drivers only used the gas out of corners. Boost of 50% was easy, but had to be careful, too long on the button and motor would blow. I would not spend the money on the trick nozzle, all gets mixed at the reeds. Unlimited started running NOS and kept adding bottles until they could run most of a race on the button, eventually blew all the motors and had to go to turbines.
Good Luck

i've noted, that in the 1/4 mile, lightin off the Nos from the startin line out the backdoor( never lettin off the NOS) that freezin of the reeds happens, stickin open, and the cyl goes out, seems all reddy gots them thare snozzels

thanks
FF

I especially like that solid top mount . did you make it from scratch ?................................................. ..........for those who want top quality grade 8 bolts , your caterpillar dealers sell them , at reasonable price, & it's not chinese or other foreign sub-standard stuff.And, my cat dealer used to have very good stock,or overnight ordering, and could special order grade 12 in 2-3 days, also reasonable prices .

[Fast Fred]

i made it, it's got a 1/2 alu' backin plate under it, to sandwich it all together.

it's the one in back, it'a a dry block, water only comes in, then dumps out the head
