I don't it taking more than a 125 shot to go from 8.6's to 7.8's honestly. My buddy has a stock GT 84 body style with t-5 3.73 gear and a 125 shot and runs 7.8's to 8.0's on spray. No cam or anything.. therefore im thinking 7.8's or 7.7's on spray with the GT40 heads and a better intake is very achievable... oh well..
I guess im trying to get you all to see that I'm building this car to actually have a FINISHED project lol.. I want a car that I can consider finished thats reliable, pretty nice looking with a good chassis and wheels/tires/motor to put it into the 7's. At this point I hope to retire this car and build another one. I want one thats done that I can hop in and go when I feel like going to the local racing scenes and the track. |

Let's hear someone else that actually runs a nitrous car chime in.

By the way, MY 96 dropped about .7 in the 1/8th on a 125 shot but was having some clutch issues on the spray. Last edited by joker; 05-07-2007 at 02:27 PM. |

Hell, I have wrenched on and driven Lee's car and I know more about it than most anyone, but I still have to ask him about old track times, power numbers, etc.

Also if you think about it, nitrous is going to gain you more time in the first 1/8th than it will in the second 1/8th soley because of the fact that you gain so much torque and increased momentum off of the line. In the second 1/8th of a mile the torque isnt really benefiting the car as much because the resistance to movement has already been largely overcome. If you are looking at a gain of 1.2 seconds over the coarse of the 1/4 I would be willing to bet at least .7 of that gain is coming in the first 1/8th mile. No way to test that theory though as someone would have to be really handy with the button to only spray the first 1/8 or second 1/8th. Last edited by joker; 05-07-2007 at 02:54 PM. |

I don't care for Nitrous as a power adder. That doesn't mean I can't add input to this thread about Nitrous. And from the consensus here...it looks like some other cars have indeed picked up significantly when you said it was impossible.

By the way, knocking .7 in the 1/8 in your old 96 is very impressive. Was the nitrous and n/a comparison on your car performed on a good sticky tire? While I have done it yet, I feel confident my car as it sits now has a 7.95 1/8 12.4 1/4 in it on motor. (best as of this week is 8.00 and 12.50) I am interested to see what kind of times I get on motor and on a 150 shot this weekend at track day.

It will be intersting to see. I wouldnt be too suprised to see a 7.0 to 7.2 in the 1/8th though. Since the track should be hooking much better than Steele I think you will see some really nice gains, even in the 1/8th. |
