nitrous
hi,
I'm wondering how much is a safe/common shot of nitrous to run on the ls1 motor. Some friend of a friend of mine is talking a whole bunch of smack about how his 99 camaro z28 is running mid 11's on just nitrous, and that seems to be a little rediculous to me. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Re: nitrous (lilsupdawg)
If he's running 150+ shot and has some sticky tires, it's possible. Is it safe or common? Probably more common than safe. Most conservative guys run 75 to 100 shot on a stock LS1. I plan on running 75 shot, but I'd be lying if I said I would never push it to 100.

Re: nitrous (Skeeter1)
I'm not sure, but I think I'm running low 11's on the juice. No heads and cam. Mid to high 11's is possible on a basically stock LS1 with good traction. He might just be in the 11's, you never know. Oh yeah! What in the hell is a lilsupdog? :lol: Sounds like a rap artist.

Re: nitrous (Big Carrot)
:p: what is a supdawg? i was trying to be humble 
. I have a 97 supra, just a shade over 400 rwhp. This guy is gonna want to throw a whole bunch down on a race, and i haven't had a chance to look at the car. is there any way to tell what kind of shot they're running just by eyeing it?

Re: nitrous (lilsupdawg)
Yo yo yo! Wuz up homeboyeee? :cool: Just kidding! Nah, unfortunately there is no way to tell what shot he's running. If it's a dry shot, chances are it's not more than a 100. If he says he's in the 11's, he probably has a one fitty. I had a pretty much stock Trans Am that became a rocket when I sprayed it. I beat up on several Supras, Vipers, Civics, etc.. :jester So watch out, he might just hand you your arss!

Re: nitrous (Big Carrot)
see what i'm wondering is if you can actually get into the 11's on just a 150 shot. My gut tells me he's um embellishing a tad. Also, if he's on street tires, he's gonna have some traction problems. I have some 315 geforces back there so i'll be able to launch about as well as possible on street tires

Re: nitrous (lilsupdawg)
YES, you can! My T/A had a K&N, cat back, and a few other very insignifigant mods, and nitrous of course. I ran 11's on street tires (285 40 17) pretty easily. He may be embellishing, I don't really know, but it is entirely possible. In fact it's probable, but just how deep into the 11's just depends.
