Opinions: Whats it gonna run on a 150 shot? Hey guys
1998 Camaro SS / 2007 L92 engine/ Comp XER lobes 232-246 .595"-.614" 115 LSA / TSP 1 7/8" LTs/ 3.5" Exh/ 4L85E/ FTI 3800 nitrous conv/ 12 bolt 33 spline Tru-Trac 4.11s/275-60-15 M/T DRs
I bought this car back in Nov 2012 from a member here. I have made a few minor changes to the car since my purchase. Biggest change was a swap tp a 4L85E transmission/ FTI 3800 nitrous spec converter.
Finally made a few motor passes in the last month, to my surprise with a 200lb increase in raceweight and the 4L85E tranny the car still managed to run about the same #s that the previous owner stated as personal bests.
Two weeks ago the car ran a best 1/4 mile 11.276 @ 121.17 mph, 1/8th mile 7.206 @ 96.89 mph on a 1.639 60ft. That's at 3775 lbs raceweight, yeah its a heavy pig!( with my big *** in it)
Questions/Opinions
1) What is a realistic ET/MPH expectation for spraying a 150 shot from a dig?
2) FTI 3800 nitrous spec triple disc- What gear/mph to try and lock up converter ?
3) GMPP 4L85E Supermatic tranny rated for 720hp/685 lb Tq- Should I spray thru shifts?
4) Moser 12 Bolt with 4.11s with 275-60-15" M/T DRs 7200 rev limit w/locked conv- what mph good for?
Car has Walboro 255 pump with Racetronix wiring. 150 wet shot with Zex 102mm plate/HSW solenoids/Nitrous Outlet window switch/ purge kit/bottle heater.
Suspension consists of Hotchkis weld-in SFCs/ Sphon Pro-Series body mount Torque Arm/ BMR lower control arms & Panhard bar/ QA1 drag shocks and coilovers on all four corners.
Other car specs in my Sig below.
Looking to go try out the spray in the next week or two. If the tires & Suspension will hold it, I'm hoping for some 10.20s-30s @ 130ish maybe somewhere in the high 1.4s 60ft?? I hope this FTI converter surprises me with a good 60 ft. What ya'll think??

But, the faster you go, the more it takes to go faster. I know I will probably be on the ragged edge of running out of gear with the 4.11s & 28" tall tires. I am hoping the FTI converter really shines on the 150 shot and gives me a nice reduction in my 60ft time. I know I will have to be in the low 1.40s to ET in the high 9s, and I also probably need to trap around 133-134 mph to meet the goal.
Just not sure if my combo will accomplish those figures at my 3775 raceweight. Hoping that locking the converter in 3rd gear will help attain the mph and give me a few hundred extra rpms to rev out as compared to making the full pass with it unlocked.
