Default 440ci with a 600 shot @3900lbs = ? ET

There is a car in N. La. that claims to have a 600 shot of N2O. He says it's a dry shot but you can plainly see it's a DP setup. He says it will run 8's, and weighs ~3900lbs. Here is a link to the car.

so it has fart pipes and is grossly overweight. also looks like C5r heads as well. :shrug: really really a lot of stuff in that car.

as for my prediction, IF he can get the chasis fine tuned, i think a 9.60-9.70 bast case scenerio assuming he can run mid 10s on motor. at that weight and power level i wouldnt want to tune that suspension.

Well they said they are AFR heads and a C5R block. But those heads have been on the car for a month or so and the AFR's have just hit the market this week I think.

If a 440 with a 600 shot can't run 8's what the heck does it take then?!? This is of course assuming the guy is telling the truth.

Well maybe that's why he went with the 150lb injectors. But, I would MUCH prefer a wet shot at those levels.

damn, that car looks nice, and like was said before if a 440 with 600 shot cant go 8's, with traction of coure then we have problems. i found one weight reduction, he removed the headlight motors.
and 150lb injectors i could put one on each side and have plenty.

Why,Musi runs a big DRY shot on many of his 7 sec cars.
Controlling dry over 500 is no problem if the tuner is capable of dialing it in correctly.

Actually from my experience DRY is safer,u are using an injector to meter the fuel.With the proper fuel system its pretty simplified as long as an injector doesnt crap out.No back fires or bad distrubtion of fuel to pudlle in the intake tract.I ran over 100 bottle threw my DFI controlled LT1 car and never even nicked a plug.

By the way that was a 200 shot though and I do agree it would really need to be fined tuned.Wet will make more power in the long run,the SEFI can control wet too although I know nothing about how it works or controls the noids noe do I like that way of spraying N20 but to each is own.

Ive seen the car in person and yes it is a dry shot. Instead of using fuel on the other side of the nozzle its used as another nitrous injection piece.

Sweet car, I occasionally have heard of this car.

I would say that it's probably high high 10's on motor and then mid 9's on the can. That raceweight is very heavy.

I would rather run a dry setup for a 600 shot then a wet.

They got those heads that were on display at Sema. Its amzing what some $$$ and a well known engine builder can do. I see alot of people attempting the BS claims.

I built the exhaust at the shop i worked at for that car. Its not how I would have built it but its how the customer wanted it. Thats what matters and thats what he got.

The car has everything it needs and some to run high 8's i believe. The car even has some lightweight aluminum wheelie bars which are cleary disconnected at the time of the pictures.

This was a turn key deal done by Keith Craft Motorsports here in Dallas.

Oh well hell since it has LIGHTWEIGHT wheelie bars, then hell yeah, 8's it is.
If he can get that 3900lb car to pick the wheels up, and need wheelie bars, on that suspension set up, then whoever set the suspension up is a God. MADMAN, would that be you? LOL
