Cam only/ TH400 game
Cam only/ TH400 game I figured this would be a fun game.
Over the winter I installed a TH400(standard gear set, deep pan, reverse manual valve body, ultra bell), TCI flex plate, trans cooler, steel driveshaft.
I put 2 seats in instead of 1.
Got rid of the dynabatt(hawker),relocated a heavy Optima with cut off switch.
I got a custom made nitrous converter from TCT(Through Bob Kurgan,NMRA renegade class)
I have full interior(minus back seats)
I deleted the ABS.
THE MOTOR HAS NOT BEEN TOUCHED, just a G5X-2 cam.
So with the car being considerably heavier, and nitrous converter, what do you think it runs?
Now keep in mind, That I 60' 1.51's with the M6 launching @ 6500,
and I have a tight converter now.
I ran consistant 11.1- 11.0 with the six speed
What should I run on motor?
What should I run on a 100 shot?
What should I run on motor in nitrous trim(less timing, more fuel,big tires,full bottle)?

I think 11.60s at 115. 
Just kidding. I would think you shouldn't loose much. I would think 11.2 would be easy with your combo. The auto should launch good and be consistent. How tight is the convertor??

I'm getting thirsty thinking about the Southern Shootout allready. I had a great time last year. Trying to Destroy the rental car was fun. I've never drank that much in a Three days.
What's your goal on your car this year.

After watching that scrap run I think you'd be hell pressed to run 11.25's in great air in motor trim. That converter is way to tight for motor and just seems to lay there. Shoot it with 200-250 and have some fun.

omg that convertor is insanly tight! why would ANY renegade class racer have that one? somthing doesnt make sense. hell a stocker stalls at b/w 1600-1800 rpms! unless that convertor becomes crazy loose under a lot of spray ( thenit is a junk convertor) you will be slow.
you've GOT to be kidding about that converter bro. pretty sure he's joking fellas
what gear you have out back and how big are the tires?
i learned from experience that a nitrous converter with a bigger tire and smaller gear..the car is hard to get a good et out of without spray, mostly due to limitations at the 60 foot.
basically my prediction is you're gonna loose a decent bit on motor compared to your old 6 speed setup, but you will fly on the gun.

With my 3500 converter I was having problems getting the pig off the line.....
Now I had heads/cam, and my car weighed about 3700lbs, I put down 367rwhp, was using 27" hoosiers.....Best 60's I could ever get off the brake were low 1.6's.....
I had some soft eibach springs in the rear.....now I have V8's, I'm sure that would of helped a little w/the launch.....
