    Nitrous?

    I would treat this like a car. Full throttle only with the nitrous to ensure you're dumping the max amount of fuel to mix with that dry shot. I would see if you can make a full throttle switch. like using a brake light switch under a car brake pedal and using that to wire in the nitrous into...

    First time Go-kart build

    Now that I had the engine i was ready to start tinkering. I had received the torque converter and unfortunately didnt realize that the 1" bore size wasn't a 40 series, but a 30 series torque converter. I should have sent it back, but i hate returning things and i wanted to test the strength...

All from amazon. Here is a pic of the live axle kit i ordered. Honestly pretty...
