Default 60' times also 1/8

Below u will find my 1/8 times, the first pic is my old number 480 rwhp n/a with a couple of nos runs bogging down. The second pic is my newer numbers 507 n/a and 675 rwhp with the 200 hit. The motor is a 415ci and a th350 4k stall and a trans brake, Rear is a 9" with 4:11 and a spool mt drag slicks with tubes 28" tall. 40psi front and 15 in rear. I don't know if the difference in times from n/a to nos is normal or should I be expecting more. I'm launching @4200 off the brake and 2 step, the nos is coming on @4300-6800. As of right now I forgot where my Viking da front and rears are set at though the rears are stiff. I know that's crucial but really I forgot. I know I am lacking motor wise on my 243 heads that are p&p,also my headers that are 1 3/4. Nos is an outlet 102 plate kit.

Where and how can I improve?
How much faster is a 200 hit vs a n/a run?
Lastly again I'm new to this and know I need more experience/intelligence to get all this down.
Also I think I will be running outta gear if I do a 1/4 mile pass with the nos? I think I was almost on the limited when I crossed.

I'm not a nitrous guy, but I always thought for a 100 shot you would gain around
7 tenths.

It depends on setup and how much horsepower you start with. If you're running 4's in the 1/8 100HP shot may not even improve et, on a stock 84 Trans am with 100HP shot off the line with drag radials you can pick up more than a second.

Your absolutely right, the more hp you start with the less a 100 shot would pick up.
The OP has 507 na, with a 200 shot, I would think 1.3 range?
If I put a 200 shot on my car, I would be pretty upset if I didn't pick up around
1.3 seconds.
Maybe I'm wrong.

1.3 in the quarter you mean I take it? If hes doing 1/8th .7-.8 gain probably would be equivalent?

For instance the t56 record holders are pretty even to RENE on motor, really low 10s but with 250+ shots are running 8.8s

Cool. I have yet to try the 1/4 with the spray. N/A old tune did a full pass at 10.6@127
I think I may run out of gear though.

This is about an 84 trans am? missed that

On a 3650 pound stick car that makes 450/420 on motor we pick up right at 7 tenths as well and around 10 mph in the 1/8th

I quoted the wrong person should have been the comment below. Sounded like he thought 100 shot was equal to .7 always, so I was explaining the different effects on different cars with nitrous. In his later comment I seen he understands.

"I'm not a nitrous guy, but I always thought for a 100 shot you would gain around

oh yeah, upper 6.4's with a car making 507na at the tires plus 200 shot seems slow to me unless it's a 4000lb car. I think it should run that with 80-100HP less.

Yeah seems a lil slow and I'm on c16 to top it off and have been lightened pretty good too. Take a look at the numbers, where can I improve? My converter was done by circle d and is supposed to be speced for nitrous, maybe I need to get one from another company?
And I'm not at 4k pounds,

Well I think your 60 foot times are the issue. Not sure what your car weighs in at? Nitrous could be causing the convertor to blow through resulting in higher RPM's with 28 inch tires on the back you should have plenty of RPM's left in the 1/8.

My car usually picks up .5 tenths in the 1/8 mile on a 125 shot of dry at the air lid. I am not sure what that is at the rear wheels! Also my car usually picks up a solid tenth in the first 60 foot between NA and nitrous.

Hope this helps!

So would my converter be too loose or tight?
