Juice + Boost...whats it like?
I know some of you out there have a snail and nitro. Whats it like at full thottle, full S/C boost and then dumping a 100 shot in.
Anyone try this with the stock engine?
I have a 100 shot nitrous, and to tell you the truth, it didnt throw me back in the seat like i thought it would.
I mean, my 1/4 mile times are improved by 1.0 seconds, and 10 MPH. You can feel a sensation of im going faster than i normally do, but nothing that jerks and throws you back.
But my question is whats it like running juice + boost?
What special tuning tweaks are required? Do you all have wide band O2 / direct fuel injection on your cars to tune for it?

yep thats me :D on my stock motor i was running 10 psi (procharged) w/150 shot and actually it was kind of stupid! when it was punched it just smoked up the tires...but i did punch it in drive and then added the 150 shot of juice and that was fun got really sidways...i didnt play long with it as i started blowing oil from valve covers a month later so i am sure that had something to do with it! but it was kind of fun and all in all it was the final straw that broke my engines back! :party:

A good buddy of mine runs a wet 75 shot on top of a 6psi Vortech. It hauls butt. He has about 25k on the combo and hasn't broken anything "yet".
