Default "Project Cheap A** LT1" Nitrous Vid

If anyone can remember from past post this car has 181,XXX miles, was bought wrecked and fixed and we only have about $3000 in the car at the moment. Thats mods and the car.

First off this is a stand alone fuel for the nitrous. 1.5 gallon tank of 105 using a Holly fuel pump set at 44psi. Nitrous Works kit with 75 shot (the guy that owns the car was scared to death of nitrous, and now hes not ) The relay for the noids took a crap on us as soon as it shifted into 3rd for some reason


You will have excuse the southern accents in the video!!

o dyno numbers. the car has been down an 1/8th at 8.84 at 78mph on motor. No matter what we do we cant keep it running strong in 3rd gear. It will pull hard 1st and 2nd and slack off big time in 3rd. I dont understand it bc the trans were using came out of my old 94 that was built to a 4L65. I used to run 11.6's with that trans.

I cant find the old thread that started all this. But there are mods. Hooker shorties, ORY, hooker catback, 52mm TB, and a factory 6 speed rear.
