Default Critique My Kit

Alright guys I'm changing a few things around with my setup and I want to make sure everything is peachy. Here's what its going to be:

HSW Standalone: Running at 10 PSI fuel pressure
Dynotune Nitrous Solenoid and Purge Solenoid
TNT Fuel Solenoid (Big one)
Nitro Daves 78mm Plate
Dynotune RPM Window switch
AEM Wideband
TR6 Plugs

Those are the basics of the nitrous kit. Mods to the car are in my sig.

I think the nitrous kit is well set up and has good components in it, but my worry right now is that the SS4000 stall is going to be too much, and I really don't want to pull the tranny in lieu of a new converer.

The car also has katech rod bolts....so I'll most likely be shifting it at 6800.

Just looking for some opinions on the setup and what could be better. Thanks!

How much are you going to be spraying? Do you have a fpss on the dedicated incase the fuel pump fails?

Do you have other accessories such as bottle heater, purge pressure, gauge etc.

I would try the convertor you have and see how it reacts before making changes.

If it were me, i would run high pressure on the standalone.

What size shot are you going to be spraying? Also, give us a bit more detail on your motor setup. This will help determine the correct plug for your system.

Other then what dave mentioned, it seems like your in good shape.

I had planned on spraying NO MORE that a 150 shot. Most likely a 100 shot because of the converter.

I currently have a FPSS (Hobbs) on the fuel rail since my kit was a dry shot before. I will move the FPSS to the dedicated to cover my bases there.

Running a Dynotune High Output pressure regulated bottle warmer set to 1000 psi for the bottle.

Do have a purge.

Do have a pressure gauge for the bottle.

Motor is stock bottom end. LS6 intake. P & P throttle body. cam is a 236/238 .598/.601 on a 113 LSA. Speed Density Tune. Full bolt ons (minus pulley).

Let me know if you guys need any more info!

Sounds like you pretty much have it nailed. Yes move the FPSS to the dedicated. Since the FPSS is a high pressure you will need to use the dedicated at high pressure.

I would suggest using the NGK BR7EF plugs and pull about 4 to 6 degrees of timming. The TR6 you have will work but the BR7EF is better.

What are the benefits of running high pressure on that standalone? Opposed to low pressure.

I think Mike was indicating that for this particular set up based on the components being used. Totally different scenario if he was using it with a direct port. Each set up would have different requirements and certain components might flow slightly better based on the core of their design on high pressure vs. low pressure.

Like said above different applications may not flow well at 10 psi VS 55 psi. Since you are using our plate you will be fine using it at either. There are deffinlty some plates out there I would not do this with. We even have the jetting available if you need it.

LOL the reason I asked is because the HSW unit he is thinking about buying is mine and it has the low pressure spring in it.

You can purchase the high pressure spring separately. If you're going to use low pressure fuel with any type of inline spray pattern plates (where the system dead heads internally) I would recommend checking the distribution on a bench prior to running it. You generally see the end holes being weak. The unique circular design of the perimeter plate like ours features 0 ill effects with any pressure variance and can be used from 3 to 100 with a variety of fuel mixes.

I have the high pressure spring you need if you end up going that direction Matt.

Well then, problem solved.

Can someone give me the list of jets for High Pressure 75, 100, 125 and 150? And also for low pressure?

Thanks!
