With that trunk... He should have no problem hooking up...right.

 

I took half a day off to help get the car ready for Sunday. It is a good thing I did, or it would not have gotten ready in time.

I hooked it all up and tested the progressive. Everything seems to work as it should. I just have to run the fuel line to the nitrous fuel regulator from the filter, run the hot wire for the bottle heater to the battery and put in the BR7s.

I also am going to pick up 5 gallons of 112 race fuel for safety margin.

 

11.5 - 150 shot + progressive = 10.3 I'm guessing......can't wait take someone to shoot some vids

 

2nd on the videos. It should roll out for sure. Good luck

 

We are starting out with a 51 jet which will be ballpark 100 shot. Anywhere in the 10s and I will be thrilled.

I am just trying to figure out what I am going to do on the fuel. Pump. Pump/Race mix.

I am talking to fuel companies about specific gravity. I don't want to pick gas the screws up my tune. It is dead on.

 

I really like 100LL aviation fuel. It works very well mixed with premium pump gas . It is also very reasonably priced. Locally I can only get 91 octane non eth, so I mix the 100ll with great results. I only splash a gallon or so into the tank of my camaro for track days, but for my 15:1 2stroke drag race snowmobiles, we run 50/50, 91pump/100LL. No detonation signs EVER!
Going from memory 100LL is aprox 105 motor octane, they do not list research octane, but it is almost irelevant anyway.
FYI race fuel companies will lie to you and tell you 100Ll av gas is bad for your car and will make less power etc...... They dont sell av fuel, so do your own research on 100ll fuel.

 

VP racing fuels said that their VP-100 is a great step up from pump gas and does not require a re-tune as it has a similar specific gravity and characteristics. We have a station locally that sells it for 8.75 per gallon out of the pump. So, I think that is my solution for a safety margin right there.

 

pump VP-100 no thats spoilt!

i'm lucky that we get very good e85 at the pump. i'm a massive convert, even running 12.0:1 comp on my daily (which does 11.3 with genIV only a ls2 cam).

 

Last time I pulled up to the pump for some Cam II....owner came flying out....got to put in a can....not allowed in a tagged car

$25 of Cam II ($4.50 per gallon back then) + the cost of a 5 gallon can

 

VP-100 is passenger vehicle approved.

Today I tested the fuel system with a .064 by pass jet and it held fuel pressure no problem. So, I know I am good to go up to about a 74 nitrous jet which is 175 horse or so.

I just have to set the flowing fuel pressure on the nitrous fuel pressure regulator and hook up the bottle heater main power wire. Then it is time for a few test hits tomorrow.

 

Everything is done except for installing the BR7s.

Taking a lunch break then I am going to change the plugs, get some fuel and make a few quick hits to see how the car likes it.

 

We'll all be waiting to hear about it!

Test runs were very successful. Feels strong. But, I used 2 1/2 pounds of nitrous. The bottle now weighs 21.5 pounds. Hope that is enough for a good pass tomorrow.

 

Save it......


You know once you hit it you'll be going home with a "Smiling Bob" smile

 

I run aviation LL in a separate fuel cell. No issues ever. Got the idea from a friend that sprays way more than me, lol.

 

Well guys, the results are in. Here are timeslips on motor and on nitrous and a video of me laying down a Cuda.

 

Congrats man.

 

Awesome man! Congrats! A full second and 11mph is a great gain. Was this with 100 shot? Any progression or full shot out of the hole. Details man......we need details....LOL.

 

55 nitrous / 47 fuel jets. 21 degrees straight timing. 40 HP on the hit - all in by the 60' mark.

Car worked great. Dead solid hook. Great lift in the suspension and smooth as silk.
