Well for a while i had 1st gear lock out activated, than i went to the track with the nitrous activating in 1st gear. Let's just say it slipped my mind that the nitrous was comen on in first gear and when i mashed it i got a nice little scare haha..

With vararam, longtubes,catless X, borla straights And a 125shot i ran a best of 11.2 @ 129 with a 1.8 60ft..That was my best between 3 runs.. I wasnt able to get more runs in cuz the track was busy. I know i could of broke into the 10s with a lower 60ft

I have just about the sam mods as you besides the cam. I'm planning on going with a cam this winter..I'm considering the SI6 cam 235/240 exh. lift .621 int .609 exh. 111 LSA.. I didn't get a good idea what my car made because speed incs dyno seems to read super low for some reason..And when it was on the dyno i had 100 shot pills in.

i have the nitrous outlet plate kit that i pieced together.
i had a NX kit previous to it but i didnt trust the used solenoids, I'm using somethings from that kit but i also traded a guy C6z wheels for a brand new nitrous outlet kit. This is everything i have with my kit on my car.
-N.O 10lb bottle
-860 performance heater/bracket
-N.O window switch with WOT switch
-N.O fuel and nitrous solenoids
-N.O purge
-N.O intake mounting brackets
-Fuel pressure safety switch
-Ashtray switch panel
-Glowshift Fuel pressure gauge which went to crap, so now i have a mechanical gauge on my rail.
-Glowshift Nitrous pressure gauge which went to crap as well so now i have a mechanical gauge on my main line.
-78mm Plate that i bought from my friend for $100
-Dynotune Lean shutdown switch.
-Aem Uego Wideband
Br7ef plugs
I kinda went all out with my kit lol, i wanted to make sure it was safe as safe can be. The kit i traded my wheels for was a pretty pricey kit but i got a good deal on it with trading my C6z wheels. If i had to rough estimate it, i would say all in all my kit should be worth around 1300-1400..including all the gauges n such.
It looks pretty sloppy because of the solenoid to plate spaghetti lines..I'm gonna switch them to hardlines this winter. Ignore the main line coming out from the fuel rail cover all crazy..it's under the cover now.
I apologize for the lonnng post lol.Hopefully i don't get yelled at.

Do you have any fuel system upgrades already? such as the racetronix pump and wire?
I went with a standalone once I bumped to a direct port. With a dry shot I was spraying 200 without any issues, but the draw on the fuel system with the wet shot created a horrible lean spike. So that is why I went with the stand alone.

with your setup, i'd say you could easily break into the 10s, with a good tire and good launch. I only got 3 runs in and managed the 11.2 with a crappy 1.8 60ft.

Nitrous Outlet is the way to go. I have bought my kits from them and they are quality products. For some of the smaller stuff like heaters, openers and gauges I get my things from Dynotune. They have some good gauges for a quality price. Now if you need some custom panels for you cars nitrous switches look for Beer99C5 on this forum.

He makes custom panels you can place in the ash tray area of the car.
