Nitrous run at the track, Advise needed! I went to LMP in Sealy, TX on 11/22/2008. Hoping to get a low 11 run, possibly a 10.999 (wishful thinking). It didn’t happen.
The Camaro: 2001 A4 with SLP lid, Flowmaster cat-back, ColdFusion nitrous. (Stock every where else…)
Wheels: 15X3.5 on the front and 15X10 in the rear with M/T ET Streets.
The last time I had the car out was in the summer and I was on true street tires. I ran a best 2.16 60’ft 11.78 @ 118mph on a 125 shot from 1st gear all the way down the track.
This time with some good tires I thought I would lower my 60’ft which would lower my ¼ mile ET and if I "up" the shot to a 200, it would get me a low 11 just maybe a high 10.999.
Well, nothing worked the way I thought… (125 shot set on a window switch, (3000-6000)
60’ft – 1.9890
330’ft- 5.2740
1/8et- 7.8847
1/8mph- 93.65
1000et- 10.1307
1000mph- N/A
1/4et- 12.0108
1/4mph- 120.39
I tried two footing the car; bring the rpm’s up to 1200 then flooring it… this gave me a worse 60’ft (2.1185)
I got the best 60’ft by going from idle to full throttle (1.9890)
I was running it in "drive" and it was shifting at about 6000-6100.
Any Advise????

You need an aftermarket stall. The stock one can't get you what your looking for. With a bigger stall you'll be able to leave a lot harder and those tires should hold it getting you the results your looking for. Hope this helps!

I guess I'll look into a 2600-3000 stall... Thanks
i have a tci comp th350 and 3k stall i'm wanting to sell with a full manual valve body and trans brake. it was just gone through and freshend up . i'm in ga if your intrested. yeah it is mainly because your running all stock stuff . the stock trans will slip a little they suck pretty good and the stall is'nt helping alot. there fine for a mostly stock car to play with. when you go to shooting the juice and beating on them. it's a matter of time before it has to be replaced.

You should get a better 60ft. than that with the stock stall. I got about the same 60's as you when I waited till 3000 to activate the nitrous. I turned it on at the hit of the throttle right out of the hole and it got a 1.79, stock stall, stock suspension. My mods are close to yours, see sig. I run in crappy air so in really good air it should knock 4 or 5 tenths off easy. I don't know if I would shoot 200 right out of the hole but 100-125 isn't bad. But the guys are right, you'd be way faster with a good stall, I'm saving up for a Yank SS3600.
I vote get the tires hot and spray the bitch out of the hole...on that small of a shot you should be fine....if not then a stall....I went from 2.0-2.1s hooking to 1.6s spinning....never sprayed on the stock verter ive seen a few locals do it and they were sub 2 second 60s but they were spraying off the line
You definately need an aftermarket stall, your 60ft. is killing your ET. I would go no lower than a 3200 stall. I would also invest is some headers to let that thing breathe on the spray.
