These were from Saturday's ATI Inspection. No paint yet on the bumpers or scoop. They will be picked up tonight.

Man that baby looks NASTY!!! You are lucky guy to have a ride like that Mike. I assume you have lic plates for it! :lol:

We put our pointing at the intake/cyl head area. If there was to be a fire it would come out there. Like you said, the waterpump can't be a fire source. It has to come out an area of the engine that isn't solid. It can't come out the front end of the block.

We have never had any trouble with ours. Too bad but sometimes the tech guys, have their own opinon and no amount of common sense changes their mind!

Thank you. I have two different plates I can choose from. One says "PRO60" and the other says "NOS" They are both Mass plates. The PRO60 one was on the car when I bought it. Oh decisions, decisions.

hmmm....the different color scoop looks kinda good (to me)...breaks up the Yalla a bit......

Once you get all through the tech stuff.....put those nozzels back where you had 'em.....cause, like Rapid said....(an most ANY idiot should know) a water pump ain't gonna catch f'ar.
Lookin' Good, Mike!!

Thanks. Someone not from here suggested I just add two more nozzles back to where they were. I'm thinking that might cut down on the pressure a little too much, if I happened to need them.

Now I am not saying to do this, but,,,,,if it was my money and car. I would get creative and plug the waterpump fire putter outters, on the inside of the line, but leave them there for your tech guys pleasure. That way the nozzle still is there, and he is happy, and you will be safe also.

Then plumb in two pointing at the heads, intake like you need them to.

That way sys pressure is not effected, and you will save your car in the event of a boo-boo. JMO

You could also call the fire system people, ask about pressure drop and wasting the material going off on the waterpump area. Personally I feel that area is a waste of material.
