Smoked a Nissan tonight.

This little Nissan car was riding in the left lane, doing about 60. I went by in the right lane doing 65. Nissan catches up and then hangs right beside me. I eventually speed up to 70ish, so does Nissan. Finally I lay the hammer down and run it up to about 95, Nissan is trying to keep up. Come up to a stop light, Nissan floors it on green. You can see it bucking and jerking when shifting, ricer boy is really into it. I waited about 3 seconds, let him get a little ahead, then blew his freaking doors off in 4hi. Oh, it was grand, I tell you. I cannot wait for my injectors and tranny. It will be officially ON then.

The grovers, all four of them, are sitting on the shelf over my workbench, throbbing. I'm still deciding on the air system, I think I want air bags for the back, and want to hook the grovers into that system. Actually I'll only use one probably, maybe two at the most. There are a lot of choices between air bag systems, compressors, etc. I haven't figured out which way to go yet. But you'll probably hear them when I hook em up. I expect trees to be defoliated by the blast, and dust to raise up from the sheer decibles.

Oh absolutely, let me know when you're down this way and I'll give you a full demonstration. I picture being able to blast paint off of buildings. I think the air bag kit and a 6 gallon tank should do fine to run the suspension, horns, and some air tools. With onboard air, as you know, you have an obligation to check your tire pressures or re-torque your lug nuts at stoplights.

With my job i work alot on medical equipment and ambulances. I was working on a ambulance the other day that had bags and a set of grover horns. I am pretty sure the way it was set up was that there were two seperate tanks decent size though. They did not share air and the horns had their own compresser. There is a guy here in texas that specilizes in grover horns. If you want his number just pm me. I have talked to him before and seems very knowlagable about these horns.i am sure he could tell you what the best setup would be
