I'm still curious about the fuel system you're using. That's about how much I want to try to spray eventually and was looking for a proven fuel system at that level.

I think it's up to 6500 Vince, but Brent can correct me if I'm wrong. It's either 6500 or 6700 I thought.
Thats awesome.. Stock rods holding nicely. That has to be around a 650rwhp/700rwtq setup.. That is awesome..

Actually, the last time we dynoed, it was 606 rwhp, but they may have changed a few small things since then. I haven't been able to be at the shop as much as I'd like to.

606rwhp is still pretty awesome.. I assume because of the timer the 150 wet coming in did not give as much punch as it would if it was setup to come on earlier.. If it was me I would have my window switch bring the 100 dry on at 3krpm and the 150 wet come on at 4200rpm and then the 3rd stage come on at 5krpm 3rd stage of course would be a 100 wet as well just to keep the tq up... Actually if I had it my way the car would have 60lbs worth of window switches for 12 stages To never let the tq go down.. Of course you would need 3-15lb bottles for one pass..

Congrats Brent! I was there and your car just flat out fast -- VERY impressive.

BTW, what happened on that last run? About the 1 to 2 shift, I heard a loud pop and you shut it down and coasted. Hope everything is OK.

That's moving fast and congratulations are due.

However, I disagree this test proves stock valves are a good choice for a car that is going to be spraying a lot. Run another 50 - 100 passes on just the 150 wet shot and then pull the heads. If the valves aren't pitted, then claim stock valves are ok for nitrous performance.

We don't recommend it for high nitrous use, we are just proving that it makes a great motor valve and good for up to a 150shot. Now that we have met our goal with the 1.5 heads we are pulling them off and going for a big ls6 head to maybe push us to the 50's.

The fuel system we are using is a racetronix kit, 36lbs svo injectors.

We sprayed the car right off the line 100dry and .5 seconds later the 150wet comes in. Shifting at 6500 saturday. All the while we are still on bone stock suspension, rockers and lifters.

my stock exhaust valves were really pitted pretty bad after many 150-shot 1/4 mile runs :o

We have sent the stock valves and many aftermarket valves to get stress tested. So far the locks break before the valves this is at 178000 psi.
