Induction Solutions Sledgehammer

http://rpm-mag.com/2013/05/induction-solutions-sledgehammer-plate-nitrous-system/

The most powerful plate nitrous system on the market—bar none. Our Sledgehammer has dominated the big radial races in plate-limited categories for a reason—it works awesome. The plate is adjustable from just 150 hp up to 600+ hp and is perfect for the weekend warrior or serious heads-up class racer. We start with a nitrous plate that features four spray bars (2 nitrous and 2 fuel). The 1-inch thick plate is then 4150 SH for site 1

blueprinted and modified in-house at Induction Solutions. The modifications allow for greater flow, enhanced distribution, and superior atomization, which translates into more horsepower and reliability. All Sledgehammer plates are flow tested by Induction Solutions for proper jet patterns. The plate comes with jet-mapping that steps up in 50 hp increments from the baseline of 150 hp all the way up to 600+ hp. Induction Solutions can provide jetting for 650-plus hp for certain racing applications and that is handled one-on-one with the customer.

The Sledgehammer nitrous system is more than just a plate, it comes complete with the industry-leading Induction Solutions Trash Can solenoid that features an extra large .175 orifice for maximum flow. The fuel solenoid is our own Cheater-style solenoid with a .156 orifice. The nitrous solenoid features PTFE plunger as well as a ~16-18 AMP coil. Both solenoids are also equipped with filtered inlet fittings. Rounding out the Sledgehammer systems are a 10-lb bottle, mounting brackets, bottle nut (-6), -6 supply line, electrical hardware including WOT switch, arming switch, power relay and connectors.

All I can say is wow! Very first pass with the Sledgehammer went from 1.52 60′ to a 1.271, This was on the smallest jetting that was sent, about 150-175. Set everything exactly where Steve and Paul told me to and plugs looked good. Cant wait to get back out there and go up in jet. Thanks again Team IS

Chevrolet Performance LSX Real Street Gains New Competitor For 2013

Over the last couple of racing seasons, Chevrolet Performance’s LSX Challenge series has been growing exponentially, and one of the reasons is the Real Street class. The engine and power-adder limitations have made the class attractive to build for, and Indiana’s Todd Williams is one racer inclined to step up his program for the coming season. His team from RPM Transmissions has had success with their C5 Corvette in the class, and although this particular C6 was originally destined for other competition, the decision has been made to build it into a nitrous-gulping small-block monster for Real Street.

The engine program features parts from some of the best names in the business, starting with one of RHS’ standard deck-height blocks holding in a Callies Magnum crankshaft, GRP aluminum connecting rods, and JE pistons. A camshaft that features nearly one inch of lift helps to meter the air into the Chevrolet Performance Parts DR heads filled with Victory Racing, Jesel, and Manley parts. Induction Solutions’ Steve Johnson supplied the nitrous system for their other car and will continue to do so for this program. In addition, an AEM Infinity engine management system will be on board to keep the engine running in optimal shape.

As RPM Transmissions is heavily involved in the Corvette aftermarket, the car will feature a full contingent of RPM’s parts including an SFI flexplate, converter drive plate, and custom Powerglide transmission. The car also features a long list of driveline upgrades including Driveshaft Shop CV axles, propshaft, and couplers. As the class is currently running in the mid-eight-second zone at around 160 MPH, the decision was also made to install a complete 25.5-spec rollcage to protect the driver in the event of a mishap. The build is just getting underway, so there aren’t a ton of photos yet, but this is one work in progress we think you’ll want to follow.
