what gears and tire size you guys running with your shot? first off happy thanksgiving ls1tech!
so just ordered my nitrous outlet wet plate kit. my motor is a 383 fully built and gapped for a 300 shot. never been in a nitrous car yet but im going to spray anywhere from 150-200 and thats it. my car has 4.30s in the 9 inch and right now a 26 inch tall tire which i know im going to redline with spray. my redline is 7-7200 maybe a little more if the cam is still pulling. if i go up to a 28 inch tire would that be good enough on the spray?

I know there is calculator somewhere that figures this stuff out. If I had to take a wild guess at 7k with a 4.30 gear, and a 28 in tire, that might put you around 125 mph in 4th on a M-6. If that's the case then it won't be enough probably

Thanks!
I'm also going to be changing my gears. I'm thinking of Going with 4:30's
But I'm not sure that will be enough? Might have to go to 4:10's?
I just really don't want to lose the mechanical advantage.
I'm adding about 100 more hp. Wondering what my top speed will be
With 4:30's??

That one shows I'd only be able to go 130 with my current set-up.
But it also shows I'd gain 8 mph going to 4:30's over the 4:56's
I don't wanna do it twice, but I don't wanna go 4:10 either if it's
Not necessary.
