Need help troublshooting NX 200shot on 408ci - low dyno numbers
Mods in sig....
Did 479rwhp na, tossed in the jetting for 200 shot and "only" got 641rwhp (162hp increase). Bottle's are full, have my own NX refill station FP PSI is ~58-60psi, 11.0 A/F ratio, nice and smooth on the dyno graph, dual nozzles in bezel before MAF. It hits hard as hell, I mean hard. Purged air out before run.
Could be:
1. NX bottle heater is only heating up to 800psi. I can have this thing on all day and hit wont go over 800PSI. Heater shot or shutting off early?
2. blowing through 4000stall in TH400
3. Using jets, 52/31 each side - wrong jetting?
EDIT: MEANT NOZZELS BEFORE TB, NOT MAF

Jetting looks correct. If you are only seeing 800 PSI that's your problem. Your low 11.0 A/F tells us that you are running richer then needed. If you are only seeing 800 PSI all the time, you will need to lower your fuel jetting down to the 26 range!!
Remember that NX likes between 1000 and 1100 PSI. Anything lower will and does give lower HP numbers. If I was you I would get a better heater, that seems to be your problem more then anything... Get that pressure into the correct range and your HP numbers will probably be right in there.
Good luck.

Sounds like you are putting too much fuel in there. The maf is adding fuel because you are spraying before it, with a wet kit. That is if I understand you correctly. It is a wet kit right?

What is the timing at? And ditto on new transducer for bottle heater, get one from Dynotune and adjust for 1050 or whatever you like. Great heater system right there. I dont think leaning it out any will help you pick up the power without risk of other issues. I'd leave the 11:1 AFR on the 200 shot, but timing, and pressure. The pressure will lean out the afr some, but nothing like 12:1. Converter is an issue I am battling now. Once the car is shipped to CA and I drive it home to AZ, I will order and install a new Fuddle setup for Nitrous. ATI didnt even want to look into redoing the guts of this one to be good for nitrous. Oh well. GL

Yep. I like this idea too, although having recently been sucked into dynoing my car, I must say its irritating to not see what the track shows. Runem.

I think its a combo of your slightly off tune and converter. get the Af to 11.5 or so. And then dont really worry about the dyno #s.
Slowredz...there is no one size fits all optimal timing for specific size shot. It depends on many factors and may not be the same at 3000 rpm as at say 5500+.
It also depends on the cam and octane of fuel used as well as what rpm you hit the juice.
If its 93 octane and a semi normal cam that 200 shot on that 408 would probably be between 22-26 IMO.

did i read this correctly,he is spraying dual nozzles before the maf,if thats the case and he is using wet kits thats why it wont pick up like it should,dry kits go before the maf,wet kits go after the maf,thats where his fuel setup is off,some one else chime in if this is not correct,only dry kits should go b4 the maf,hope this helps

At what rpm's is your converter locking? I had a Coan converter that slipped from 4800 rpm's to 5800 rpm's with the 200 pills, leaving a whole whopping 5 thousand rpm's for a power band. If your converter is slipping like mine did then you need a new setup. Yank built a PE 3600 for my car and it's much better. I believe the comments made about your nitrous pressure is correct. Change these two things and I bet your power/tq come up.
Question, is your cam a nitrous cam?

Your bottle pressure is low, therefore the amount of nitrous to the engine is less and you will make less power... Get that pressure up to 1000 and you will be very close to a 200rwhp gain.

More pressure, you're not spraying enough in. Increase the pressure then see what you have. If you're still low then check your A/F and timing again.
