help with nitrous converter i need professional help here. i have a 98 camaro w 364 LS2 in front of 4l60e with tci 3500 stall. it runs 10.60s @ 126 with 1.43-44 60s. when i spray it i dont get much out of juice. it runs 10.20s at 132-133 w/100 shot nozzle. the fuel is there too. any advice. what is the best nitrous converter that wont hurt my NA runs? thanx in advance.
Todd,im running a new TCI max effort 4000 in mine with the same 60fts. NA. Kevin and i decided this would be the best of both worlds for the nitrous. Playing with a 75 shot in 3rd gear i picked up .4/5mph with it but every setup is not the same,mine loved the nitrous from what i gained with such a small shot up high.
Off the line im scared to spray it lol. Should dip easily in the 1.30s.

Yeah haha i know all about the aborting runs. Seems to have been my problem the last 2 times at the track.
I can't spray the car down low without going towards the wall,so i spray'd it on the topend to make sure it was working and that is where i was refering to the gains with the nitrous. I have not had much time at the track with the new motor and i have made alot of changes to the car since the 10.9s na so im hopeing to pick up quite a bit with the new stuff. My only downfall now is that the car is a heavy pig now (3600 lbs.). You WILL break the 10 bolt again lol. I pulled 5-6 1.45 60fts. out of mine last spring after the motor went in but had to rebuild it becuase the gears were screaming like crazy,how i have a moser 9" with 3.70s and it will take it everytime.
The vig. 3200 should work very well with the nitrous but i can't say it will run in the 1.40 60fts. NA everytime.
Sounds to me like your spinning on out past the tree because the MPH is pretty good compared to only picking up little ET. Maybe it's time for some 28" Drag radials? What is your suspension,tire and gear setup now?

If you're just going to be hitting it w/ a 100 shot I don't think you really need a dedicated nitrous converter. Also what gears are you running?
You may benefit and be able to hit it down low with just a set of taller tires for you nitrous runs.

Todd,i would make sure it's not in your suspension and tire choice before i would start changeing out converters. See if you can get someone to go with you back to the track and watch the car because the TCI 3500 should be able to give you what your wanting on the nitrous. If your spraying the car through first gear the 26" drag radials are not going to hold it and will barely hold from a 2nd gear spray. If you do decide to go with a 28" drag radial throw some 3.73s or 3.90s in it to help with the gearing down low.

i run a stock 6 spd rearend (342s)with an auto. nothing done to it. its been down the track about 100 times and all the passes that dead hook are in the 145-143 range. it has spun to a 1.77 and still run 10.94 @ 125. the car could pull consistent 143-42s if i could worry about stalling instead of spinning. the car has no suspension work @ all except for airbag on pass. side. im going to ditch the 16in drs to put on some 15in 275 60s drs next time out. dont get me wrong in bad air a couple weeks back (3000 DA) it went 10.88 @ 123 w 1.48 60 ft.
