Default Nitrious on a Vig 3600?

Is this a good converter for a 100-150shot? If so how would you launch it with those shots? Do I need a bigger gear like a 3.42 or a 3.73 for the looseness?

The Vig 3600 is not a great nitrous converter. If you have it, use it. If you're still looking around, there are better choices (for nitrous use).

Oh, and as far as the gear goes, 3.23s work best with nitrous.

i've owned this converter and once i put heads and cam on the car and tried to use the bottle it was pretty much usless. I ran right through the converter and over powered it. I would shift my car at 6600 on the bottle and it would recover the rpms on each gear change at 6200. IMO it sucked for the bottle.

Actually it is a good nitous converter. Granted there are better ones out there, it still gets the job done exceptionally well. I gained 10 mph in the 1/8th on a 100 shot. Runs good on motor, runs good on gas.

I bought the converter used but the guy I bought it from said that it was set up for nitrous. That sucks that he lied about it. What converter would work for motor and nitrous?

Well I was hoping that he didn't. Do you spray it off the the line or after you've launched?

I ALWAYS spray off the line. Words can't describe the feeling.
