Default Question on spooling time

I have a 348cu 88mm single tb Car has 400tb trans with trans brake and 2-step already install. Was wondering if anyone is using N2o at the line to help with spool times? Car made 800rwhp on 14lbs was just trying to get my spool times quicker at the track with maybe a 150 shot on a manual botton just for spooling purposes. What does anyone think? Oh I already have the N2o system TNT F2 just begging to be used for something. Thanks

What size converter do you have? Any dyno sheets? I'd think with the T-brake and the right converter you wouldn't need the nitrous...

I'm thinking the same. With a 2 step and t brake you should be able to hit pretty good boost right there.

I have a neal chance converter built for my car. Still seems a little slow to build boost at the line for some crazy reason. On the street when I'm just under the stall and hit it It seems to hit almost instantly. Oh the stall is around 3600 or so.

you could try a three step! works pretty good ! Gets the boost on the way when your on the footbrake bumping into the line. then it will hit a higher rev limiter when you set yourself on the transbrake. What takes the most time usually is just getting to the first couple lbs of boost.

That's what it seems like as soon as it hits any boost it just shoots right to my setting.

a 3 step with a foot brake limit set to 3k then set the trans brake to 35ish right before stall. have it poping of the limiter threw both lights. i also use a boost controller set at 15 psi on foot brake and 7-10 on transbrake and on the foot brake i get about 12-14 psi in 1-2 secs. works killer and a 1.22 sixty with a Turbo 6

How long does it take to spool your setup, and what compression and cam?

Mine was bad initially (8:1 348ci + GT47-88 T6 flange) but it's better with the new PTC converter and using the BS3 2 step.

Comp. ratio 8.75to1 cam specs 234/238 lift 598/605 ls115. Have new nc converter. Probably just need to play with the 2-step and trans-brake settings and see what works best. My conv will stall around 3600 to 3800 what do you think is a good place to start with 2-step currantly tried it on 4000 but I only had my boost set at 10 and thats as high as it was going on the launch. What are some of your opinions.
