Default auto owners your NA times w/ NA stall vs NA times w/ nitrous stall

I do plan on using nitrous but am curious how much my times will be effecting when I plan on racing only motor with a more nitrous specific stall.

So could you let me know when you switched to a more nitrous specific stall how much did it effect your times when you were just racing all motor compared to your all motor stall? Also could you let me know what kind of automatic and stalls you used? Thanks for any info.

With my old n/a converter the car would run 10.5 to 10.4 in good air on a good track with a bottom 1.4x 60 foot at abotu 127 mph. With the nitrou stall, it runs about 10.9 @ 129 with 6 degrees of timing pulled, with the n/a converter and the 150 hit it would go right on the bumper, nitrous converter it pulls the tires a foot at most.

n/a converter on the jug car went 9.8 @ 137, change to the nitrous converter (no other changes) and the car now goes 9.5 @ 142+

Hope this helps!

What is the size and brand of your two converters?

Both converter's were built by Ultimate Converter concepts, the first one was a 5200 n/a 9 inch converter, 2nd is a 10 inch 4000 rpm nitrous converter that's they best of the best that Ultimate builds.

Both worked very well for the intended purpose, just a big difference from a 400 inch n/a setup to a 400 inch nitrous setup.

Well you just told me everything that I wanted to know! I have a 3600 nitrous stall, and I am wanting to go to a ~5000 n/a converter but keep the two converters to swap out for heads up events or bracket weekends. I just didn't know what the difference would be or if keeping two converters would be worth it, but now I do!
