One more thing run just one solenoid and make sure it's a Ford starter solenoid Part# SW-3

Like someone else said a year ago i would have said Air is the only way to go. But now i have a juiced and stockfloored pup that is my daily driver. I put anywhere from 400 to 650 mile on it a week which should say enough. Never had any problems with it, my only complaint is that the seals go a little qicker in the cylnders from being set up with accumulators. mines set up with 3 batteries and i charge it about every 3 weeks. And the best part is not listening to a compressor.

I'm not doubting you but this is what I was told when asking about a daily street setup....

"Make sure you get CARLING SWITCHES and ONLY USE 3 SOLENOIDS per PUMP no matter what anyone tells you, If its grounded properly you'll be fine."

this coming from a guy who wrote a book on hydros, from basics to things to check back on if things happen.

More than one solenoid on a 12v or 24v set up is going to make you hang solenoids because of the amperage draw. It takes more power to turn on multiple solenoids that you don

pump COMP KIT
COIL OVER for the rear set up
upgrade the dumps to OIL SYSTEM (AKA ITALIANS - NOT DELTA)
UPGRADE the CHECKS to PISTON STYLE stay away from BALL STYLE
#9 MARZOCCHI HEAD and start off running 36 volts
DEEP CYCLE GROUP 31 , 1,100 CCA
CARLING SWITCHES and ONLY USE 3 SOLENOIDS per PUMP no matter what anyone tells you


thats the setup he told me to base things from...

WHOOOOAAAA, Scrub City. I haven't heard that name in years. I almost had my Monte juiced by them back in the day. I was geared up and ready, but parents wouldn't co-sign on the loan I was gonna have to take out. I'm kinda glad now though, 'cause I would have probably abused the car and not still have it. I eventually want an LS Monte to juice one day, Pat I'll look you up if I ever get one.

thats the setup he told me to base things from...That sounds like a good start except for the batts. I was sposored by Exide and had full access to their plant and engineers. You absolutely don't want a deep cycle battery for many reasons. They are designed to only cycle so many times and then they are through. A cycle is any time the battery goes from week to charged. This means they are not designed to be charged a lot. Deep cycles will need to be replace more often. Second problem is they are also designed to discharge at a much slower rate than traditional batteries. Which means your availible amperage is low and your pump motors will not have any power.
