Default First outing on the juice!

Went to my local 1/8th mile drag strip on Sat (20Sept14) to test out the Nitrous and I think the car performed well.

A quick rundown of the car:

00' Trans Am
Stock Shortblock (Katech rod bolts)
TEA Stage II 243's
Martin (Tick Performance) Custom Grind
Vic Jr Intake
6061 Elbow
95mm PTM TB

NX 4150 Gemini Twin Stage 6 Conversion plate
Mainline System with 10LB Bottle (.125 Fuel noid, .078 Nitrous noid)

Jakes perfomance Stage II Th400
RMVB with Transbrake
4500 Nitrous Converter (Stalls to 4250 on brake)

PST 3.5" DS/Moser 9" 3.89 gear

Strange SA shocks w/300# springs
CE Rear shocks (Summit special) w/Stock rear springs
Founders Control arms, BMR Tq Arm
MT Pro 275

Car ran a best of 7.2@96.8mph on MOTOR 1.60 60' (Off the Transbrake)

With a 52N 28F (E85) jetting it ran a best of 6.47@106.8 mph 1.43 60' (No transbrake, leaving off idle) at around a 3300DA (It's on a mountain) (Note-Nitrous comes in at 2800rpm off idle and I shift around 68-7000rpm) Not the best, but heres the video of that run-

(Edit: Have not weighed the car, estimated weight is around 3300-3400lbs)

I plan on moving up in jet size real quick..lol But all in all the car ran real well and for it being my first time on nitrous. It's addicting!! The way the power comes in is ridiculous. Figured I would share my first experience with the Nitrous, hopefully the 6XN jetting will make it even better. Looking to take this thing into the 9's.

Congrats! Those are some good gains with the NOS!

I like how your timeslip shows 330' MPH, never saw that before.

Nice gains!

What kind of gains did you see with the Victor Jr over an LS6 or FAST intake?

Honestly I didn't do an intake swap comparison, I made some drastic changes to my setup when I put the Vic Jr on. The FAST 92 I had made great power and torque and was never a limiting factor if that's what you were asking.

9's are around the comer.
Why the elbow and 92 tb?
Why not a 4150 4- hole.

Thanks man. I would love 9.80's and 110mph traps in the 1/8th.

It's a 95 PTM TB (not that it matters lol), however I went with it because the next phase of this (car) build is twins and the Vic Jr with elbow seem to be a decent combo on boosted applications. Looks sexy as **** too lol

I'm sure the 4150 TB would have been better for this stage of the build. But they're also expensive as hell.

That's a good plan for the future, but a 4150 would really pick the car up now.
You could always sell the 4150 later. I'm not a nitrous guy, but my tuner is and they always run the Vic Jr and 4150.
I run the Super Vic and Fast 4150, NA.

My 10.11 time slip looks almost a mirror of your 1/8 mile slip.

I definitely understand. I too would agree that I am leaving at a minimum, 30rwhp on the table, and more than likely airflow all together. I'm just not that concerned with it. The car is still a beast. Once the twins are setup... It's only just begun.

That's awesome! What was the DA on your time slip you're referring to?

You seem like you have a handle on what your doing.
I don't keep up with the DA stuff. Maybe I should.
I'm in Memphis, Tn (why I don't know), but it's close to sea level and the temp and humidity was low that nite. Now on a hot and humid nite it runs 30-40's, but the same mph.
