Question for the N2O Gods Do you lower your shift points on juice?
My buddy's truck with a Z06 cam, 3000 stall, 4.10s, and juice we were shifting at 6,100 on the motor and juice. A guy I work with, that has been into juice since they only had one kit, said that we should try to lower our shift points.
We tried lowering the shift points and started to shift at 5,600, thus lugging the motor down alot. When we did this we picked up .2s and 1.5mph in the 1/8 mile. Also the timeslips became more consistent. The truck felt like it was going slower and of course didn't sound like it was working as hard.
The bastard wrecked his truck before further testing could be done. However, I was wondering if ya'll had experience with this. I realize that this is keeping the motor in the huge and low torque band that the spray is known for. Also, I was wondering if a taller gear would also help to keep the motor in the torque band.
My buddy at work said that 60% of the people that use nitrous shift to high. Anyway, I want some opinions.
