Smile Performabuilt Level 1 & 150 shot

And guess what, it works perfectly. No problmes even on a full bolt-on car with a stall with 150 shot of nitrous. It feels incredible. Still don't think the bottle pressure was high enough, but I'll have that problem sorted out soon with an adjustable bottle pressure heater switch. Afterwards I'll have new dyno numbers.

It pulls pretty good at around 65mph.
It pulls quite firmly at 55 mph
It pulls REALLY hard at 40 mph
And the rear end steps way out at 35 mph.

*All runs shut down around 85*

So it would seem that I have enough traction to go WOT at 40 mph on the nitrous. All of the runs started in 2nd gear and ended a little into 3rd gear. The window switch was doing its job and cutting the nitrous before the shift point. When it hit 3rd gear and the nitrous came back on, it was strong. Since I have a converter, the car doesn't drop out of the powerband like a normal automatic, so the nitrous just magnified the effect of the converter and immediatley began pulling hard again. It sure was fun to try out the 150 shot.

Oh yeah...I had 3 people in the car, so it'd be a tad quicker with just 1.

Thanks again to Performabuilt for building a great trans!

Looks like I won't be able to dyno with the 150 shot before I put my new engine in, but I did go through the rest of the bottle. We think its probably around 450 rwhp and 480 rwtq though. Educated guess.

Trans is still fine!
