Almost done, about two hours of work left. All I lack is wiring the switches inside the car and hooking up the bottle heater in the trunk.

Should be spraying next weekend! Thanks everyone for the help, I've been asking a lot of questions.

Thanks Chris, I am going to start with a 100 shot and go up to 175 once I get it on the dyno with a wideband. BTW what jets are you using for your 175 shot? Thanks again for helping me out.

MUHAA HAA HAA
Roktman is turning to the juice.
Change your sig man!!!!



I'm still dying to get mine back on the road with the 2 stage 250 shot.


You're gonna love the new hidden setup.

Mike

12.17 NA - + 175 shot should be REAL high 10's.

Andy,

What's that chrome cylinder next to the alarm horn? I thought it was a cool can at first then I saw a gauge on it when I went to your website...

Randy that is a Summit vacuum can. The CC306 idles so rough in my 350 that my brakes barely worked without it.

Andy...what overlay is on your Z28 cluster?

Can't wait to see the times from the new setup...I love seeing what can be done with a stock bottom end if you put the right parts in to work with it.

How does that work? Where does the vacuum come from?

The can has one hose that runs to the intake (near the PCV valve) and one hose that runs to the master cylinder. The can stores vacuum at WOT so I have brakes when I need them. It made a big difference. I had a couple scary moments on the street before I got it, after WOT and hitting the brakes it took a few seconds for them to work. Not a good thing.

Andy,

For the 175 shot I run a 67 nitrous and a 38 fuel jet.

On the dyno this was very rich though and a 67/35 was closer to a good (>12.0) A/F ratio.

Oh, I do run my fuel pressure at 48 psi though. I believe the jet sizes for the nx kits are designed with the stock 43-44 psi in mind.

Hey Chris,

Just a thought about fuel pressure. Going from 43 to 48 psi makes much less diference than you think. It would make the N2O mixture 5% rich, and the overall mixture going to the motor around 2% rich, not really enough to mkae that much of a difference.

Hey Andy,

Something I discovered while playing with the juice, if you want to increase your ET, spray as much as possible, as soon as possible, right off the line, if your tires and suspension can hold it. Spraying past the 1/8 mile has MUCH LESS effect on the ET.

Increasing your spray in the last 200ft has a DRAMATIC efect on your MPH, though. I gained 5mph, from 115 to 120, by spraying through the traps, versus shutting down 100ft early!!!

Something else to consider, the higher the state of tune NA, the less effect the juice will have.

Good luck, and may the Nitrous Gods smile on you :D

Hey George,

Good to hear from you! How's the Eightball coming along?

The main reason I used a higher FP is because I still run the stock injectors and I am pushing 340+ RWHP NA (dyno data).

FWIW,

Hey Chris,

I guess it's about time for some injectors!!


The 28lb Buick GN injectors did wonders for me. I didn't want to change the fuel pressure since I had all the N2O stuff working perfectly at 40psi.

The Eightball has the interior and engine bay 100% finished. still need to address the exterior and suspension. However, it is on the road.

I won't be able to finish it until next summer, since I'm moving to Detroit at the end of the month.
