Default New dyno results....

Here are the results from the latest dyno run. They weren't where I wanted them to be, on account of my air/fuel ratio, and I needed higher bottle pressure. The air/fuel was at an average of 16.2 through the run, and the bottle was just over 900psi. I was running a 100 shot and got the following results: 276rwhp and 370rwtq. I was hoping to be at atleast 310rwhp, but am still happy with the torque but I can be higher. I need a bottle heater to get the PSI up and a fuel pressure regulator, then I will be were I want to be.

The site has a bandwith limit to it, too much is going through it. I will try to post it somewhere else, and put a link to it later.

I've been converting alot of videos I have to windows media format with the encoder you can download from Microsoft. It makes the file sizes quite a bit smaller for the bandwidth challenged.

My page on the forum is not letting me upload for some reason. It tells me that the filse I try to upload are invalid. I can't even upload pics, eventhough I was able to before. After the site was down for a day not too long ago, I haven't been able to do it.

There is a LOT of power left to be had in that 100 shot. You should gain nearly 100rwhp and more than that in torque.

900 PSI is optimum operating pressure. What baffles me is th 276 RWHP with the shot. What is the stock HP rating of your vette? It was over 200 right? Should put you more in the 300 rwhp range. Perhaps something is wrong? I am running a 100 shot, and actually gained 93 HP over running without it. To cover their butts, most nitrous companies will tell you plus or minus 5 percent. You shold be right in that range. After watching the vid, I would think he shut it down a bit too soon. Sounds to me that there was alot more r's to go!!...update...after listening for the fourth time, sounds like it should have rpm'd alot quicker with the nitrous. I could be way off, this is only a video, but that's what I see.

I had the guy take it up to 4500, and it shows it peaking at just before 4300 and stays at around the same level through 4500. That was video from the first run, once the back end jumped loose he got out and tightened down some more and did another run. I don't think he took it up too high on the first one, but the second one he defiinitly does. Last time I dynoed I reached Peak HP at 4100. When testing on the street, I didn't feel it pull too much harder after 4300 or so. The main thing that effected me with the results was the Air/Fuel, I was running way too lean. Once that gets fixed, I will see a better result.

What was the air/fuel off the bottle? Sounds like you need to fatten up the fuel pill. You may need to run the jettings for the Camaro if you bought an LT1 kit. They run at a lower pressure which requires slightly larger pills. Anywhere between 900 and 1050 is optimal for bottle pressure. Any higher and you would run even more lean. 16.2:1 is VERY lean on the juice and pretty hazzardous. Up the fuel pill and try it again. If your Air/Fuel is fine off the bottle, don't bother with an AFPR, just tune the nitrous. Your numbers should be right around +100 hp, and 125-150 more torque with a 100 shot at 12.5:1 air/fuel.

What brand system is this again?

I was going to put in a larger Fuel Jet in and try that, before I buy the Fuel pressure regulator to see if that fixes the problem. The jet sheet shows the same jets for the LT-1 and the Camaro. I am using Nitrous Express.

Hope to have it solved by next week. I am installing an air/fuel meter, and am going to go from there.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but an Air/Fuel gauge won't help much. mine does nothing more than give me the sweet spot, otherwise it is completely off. Has some pretty lights though. Mine actually pegged rich when it was running lean.
