Hey guys

I need your expertise on when I should lock up my FTI triple disc 3800 nitrous converter? 4L85E tranny. Car specs below in sig. 98 Camaro SS

Currently running 11.20s @ 121 mph with a 1.63 60ft on motor.

Should I lock my converter up on the 150 shot, if so what speed? Will it help me out? I think I am borderline on too much gear with the 4.11s and 275-60-15 M/T DRs as it is, hoping locking the converter will help stretch me out further towards the traps?

I am roughly around 450ish on motor, and should be around 600rwhp on the 150 shot. What do ya'll think? Low 10s @ 130-132mph??

Back a few years ago I locked my 150 shot as soon as I hit 3rd gear. It picked up .2-.3 if I remember right. But I had a loose NA stall. Yours is probably way more efficient and I'd be surprised if you notice a big improvement. Just have to play with it and see what it likes. I ran a manual lockup switch on mine for the track, that way I didn't have to change the tune to try different settings. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I was kinda thinking about trying to lock it up around 100 mph, which would be somewhere around the middle of 3rd gear or there abouts. Guess I'll just have to try it out and see what happens.

Anybody else have any thoughts about this?
