My green car has a "OLD" compucar plate system, from back in the early "80's. It is a fixed plate, no jets, and the solenoids mount right to the plate.
I called them, yesterday to see if they could tell me how to determine the HP rating (didn't seem to give me enough gain for 100-125 hp), and maybe increase it. I was told "don't even bother messing with that obsolete part". "Send to old plate back, with the solonoids, and we will replace it with an adjustable plate and check the solonoids, under warenty", all our system have a lifetime warrenty". All I will have to pay for is whatever jets I want, and shipping. It is on it's way to them as I type. How's that for customer service? A 30 year old race part still under warrenty.
12 sec ET's here I come. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Edit:
Got my Compucar Nitrous setup back, today. All I can say is WOW, what customer service. Replaced my fixed plate with an adjustable plate, rebuilt both solenoids, gave me the required lines and fittings to connect the solenoids to the plate, and (trumpets) ten jets. Absolutely no charge, not even shipping back to me.
Anyone planning on running nitrous, please check these folks out.

Thats great to know. I have 2 of their systems. I've talked to them on the phone a few times and they have always been very helpful. Really good to know they stand behind their stuff like that.

Sorry, Kev. I'm done untill next year. Slicks are off the cars, antifreeze installed. Carb and nitrous plates are off the green 66 Valiant. Also too much going on at home, this month, to say nothing of lack of extra funds, due to the holidays.

That really is great service!
I think they may find a home for that traveling trophy next race season!
