Default NX installed


Had a chance to do a few pull on the dyno today. Man does it rip!

Mods: stainless works headers, CAI, 18# lower, and 150shot. Just tried a 3rd gear pull around 50mph and it took off! Super happy with the setup.

885whp
1075tq

So, you are getting away with a 18% pulley with no Meth or E85 on 93 octane?

Did you dyno the car without the nitrous and if so what HP did it make?

On the spray I have stand alone c16 fuel that enriches the shot.

Nice set up. We'll be installing the same system on our C7Z as we just finished our group buy on NX (authorized dealer now). Your torque numbers are insane!

Cool. Where does the fuel tank go?

Anyone know if this will work on an A8 without needing to re-program the transmission, or without destroying it?

the fuel tank goes in cubby hole in rear. Yes transmission needs to be reprogrammed. I'm gonna use a dual fuel pump one for the wet shot and use E-50 fuel.
