Default Sprayed it tonight!

Well I got the NOS kit hooked up and the bugs worked out, except the upgrade on the fuel system I now need, and it all went well. Started the day off going to Williams Performance to get the nitrous tuned in. Found out real quick that my 125 shot became a 70 shot! Had to jet the fuel side way to high to support it (NOS 55 nitrous jet, 47 fuel jet). Dyno ended up with 511/497 with the A/F about 11.5 to be safe. Mind you I'm still on a bone stock tranny! Set the FJO to come in at 50% @ 3400 RPM's and ramp to 100% @ 4000 RPM's. First pass I peeled off a 6.91 @ 101. Second pass I changed the ramp rate to 75% @ 3000 RPM"s, blew the tires off and run a 7.0 @ 100. Last pass, with the bottle going low, ramped it in to 100% at 3000 RPM's and squeaked out a 6.83 @ 100. With a built tranny and the right fuel mods it will run 6.50's EASY in the 1/8th on a 125 shot! Cool thing is that it leaves oh so smooth! (tranny is living on borrowed time!)

Keep watching Blu!!!!

Nice #'s!! Is you kit wet or dry? Reason i ask is b/c I just found out my 125 wet kit was only about 90whp, running very rich. I had to lower my fuel jet way down to get my AFR right, but did not have any larger nitrous jets to get the hp up. I am running a Zex 30 fuel/64 nitrous. AFR was 11.8 (still a little on the rich side), and my gain was ~90whp/115tq.

Dry kits don't have a fuel jet, so his kit is a wet system.

It's a wet kit (NOS LS2 Plate). We chased the fuel around and around! I kept having to go buy jets but we got it dialed in. Ended up with about a 70 shot when it was all said and done (NOS 55 nitrous and a 47 fuel). Picked up 68rwhp and 105rwtq on the dyno and a little more than 4/10ths at the track. I just need my tranny to hold through Pinks next week!

Congrats on the new best, I don't think I'll be back racing until fall. Definitely don't want to break again until after the summer and I get to drive the car some.

103 is rolling pretty good, I hope Im over 100+ consistently after the new clutch and headers.

Ha Ha, you say they hook like hell, but you peeled off on the first pass and blew the tires off on the second...

All jokes aside, those are some nice numbers. She's Hauling azzzz...

Hell with good DA it looks like you might be able to knock out a 10.3x if it hooks hard.
