dec track rental. nine time and a good pass you'll skip 9.9 and be in a 9.8 et. speed my guess is 137 maybe a little more. turn on in first gear and leave on. i will tell rpm turned on that worked for me

Spill the beans for us nitrous junkies....
Method of activation ??
Method of distribution ??
Timing control ??
Plug ??
Fuel side ??
Dry or wet ??
Launch control ??
etc...etc....If you can't tell....I like the details in these types of builds.
The answer all depends on how fast you bring it in and at what %.
What clutch and tire ??
Thanks....and cant wait to hear the results.....

It's a Nitrogen Assisted Nitrous Oxide (NANO) System. Pressurized by the smaller tank which carries 3000 psi and regurelated / distributes 950psi to the Nitrous bottle for a constant pressure through the whole run.

Looks great.........
.I'm a nano guy also....
.1)TPS switch for activation ?
2)LNC-003 or -002...timing controller/progressive + 2 step ? How are you de-energising it ? MPH switch or just a momentary switch ?
3)Looks like a single nozzle....safety wired to a stand off ? To keep the torque/anti-rotation to a minimum.
4)Looks like your pulling fuel from the rail, what fuel when your spraying it ?
How quick are you bring it it ?? RPM ?? window switch on the top end between shifts ??
.......Edit......
Thanks.....keep us updated. And that 60' is awesome

Yes, TPS switch
LNC-002... launching and timing controller
momentary switch
Like this idea, "single nozzle....safety wired to a stand off ? To keep the torque/anti-rotation to a minimum."
Yes, pulling fuel from the rail, I try to run a 3-2 mixture of gas, probably switching to Torco by fall
It's a Harris window switch that seems to have a lot of options ... right now, I'm more trying to run the 10.50 number then to play too much with it. Having it coming on now in second at a rmp a bit higher than my stall
- off- then hit third.
What kind of numbers do you have with the beauty in the video?

lol....the video is Lingenfelters "shop" car they do testing on...and compete in some of the LSX races. They were going 8.90's last year at full gen 5 weight. 3600lb +...wow...
your convertor will make a huge difference in the efficiency of the spray. Cuz the more you add the more she will want to blow through the convertor. Whats your convertor % slippage raw ??
Whats your gear ??
Are you planning on stepping up the rollout dia ?? As you know she will rpm quicker...effectively "shortening your gear".
What RPM do you go through at, raw ??
BTW, what are the specs on your convertor ??
But all in all I would expect .06-.09 and obviously the sooner you bring it the better the et results...with traction. But bringing it in that late will be a fun top end charge. Bring it in on the launch and I see some mid/high 9's in your future....especially with the killer DA that area brings in the winter.
Thanks..........be care ful of the nozzle "turning" during applied power. The plugs should tell the story....

Don't know the convertor % slippage - it's a Yank 4000
Gears are 3:73's
"shortening your gear" may become a problem ... I'll could just spray through fourth ... maybe a higher tire ... but I really like the 26' running N/A, RPM currently shifts at 6800
You need to get to the track buddy and get some times you can compare to. . . what do you think you will 1/4 mile now?

OK, the gears will help the motor respond to the spray and help your mph with the tire size. Would you feel comfortable raising the rpm limit ?? I maybe wrong but I feel you will be pushing the limit of that tire with the torque spike when its hit. A bias ply may be in your future if you get real serious about nitrous....especially if you plan on hitting it before 330'...which IMHO, you should. Here is work for me in the past, 30% off the line then ramp in the remainder in .07 of a second. So, 30hp (30%) off the line and ramping the 70hp (70% which =100%) with in .07 seconds...so you will be all in at .07 seconds.
I'm not sure what I would run raw...I hate bench racing my own combo. But the facts are....edit.....
Thanks............when are you expecting to make your first passes ?? The fall is to far wawy...lol

Hey Mr Hot_Wheels....what can you get out of your Yank 4000 ?? Raw with that 346 ?? Will it "really" stall 4000 with that small of motor ?? And what can you "flash" out of it ??
Trying to get an idea of how "tight" it is. Tighter the better for the jug....
Also, are you running a brake in the trans ??
Thanks.........

The best 60' (so far) with the Yank 4000 is a 1.37
It will stall over three (3k), much more and I tend to push the skinny's but I like to be around 2200 keeping torque on the trans...
I realize the tighter the better but, also like the N/A 60 foots so there's a compromise going on here, we'll see how much next Saturday when I run the 10.50 index.
NO brake in the trans - N/A motors are so quick you don't need one
typical 60' is a 1.41 - 1.43, mine is on the right:
