How Do They Do This??
2008 Hot Rod magazine Pump Gas Drags. One of those guys used, for example, a 200hp N2O plate AND a 400hp fogger. How in the heck can you do that on 93 octane pump gas? I know it's all in the tune but how do you tune for that?

Retard the timing more and more for each level of NO2. Dump in a rich mixture of fuel as insurance. The heads have to flow enough to swallow all that but they are drag cars. The real challenge is driving them on the road.

That could be true but there was an interview video and they showed the setup. I doubt if he used it all at once but still... The video is on the HotRod magazine sight. Click on Pump Gas Drags 2008 and then the "Nitrous Beast" video. It is a 582c.i.d. motor in a Camaro
