Default New PB thanks guys

Shiztiny, ATVracr, Larry (SpeedInc.) Took your advice, leaned it out and took some timing out. Old best was a 10.89, new best 10.75 in worse air and with a slighty worse 60ft. Thanks for the help. Rick

Thanks Chris. I can't believe I was there and missed it.

Hey, at least I had the right letters in there, just the wrong order. Thanks Steve, and the next time out I'll post some plug pics.

I don't have a big jet selection, so instead of going down on the fuel jet I upped the nitrous jet. Went from the 62N to a 67N and left the 38F jet alone. Went from pulling 5 degrees to pulling 9 from my base of 33.

67 38 is probably close. id go 36 if you can and pull 2 more degrees to see if it likes it. mph will tell the story.

I do just happen to have a 36, plus I'll order some more sizes. I have a new set of the non projected 7's, but I'll have to pick up some more. That and some decent gloves so I can pull and read the plugs after a short blast and shutting it off as you said.
So once the fuel ring looks good I then start putting some timing back in, while keeping an eye on the fuel ring?

Was there a timing mark on your plug with the current jetting?
If not just pull the fuel out, if there is then pull the 2* out like Steve said.

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't put the TR7's in yet. Still had the 6's in and some 104 unleaded in the tank. I will next time before I go and bring some extras with. I need the gloves and a shorty socket so I can do this on the return road. I'm just a small dog with limited resources.

I've pulled many plugs on the return road.

Good idea, I'll put that on my parts list. On another note, I still can't believe I was at the track and missed the record setting run by JakesZ28. I had no idea he was there and was about to be the first LT1 on juice to break into the 8's. In crappy air no less. 2600-2800 DA

Not to bust your bubble but it seems like the gains were from adding more nitrous. The Da did suck. What A/F are you seeing on a pass. I would get those tr7's in. I sprayed 200 on TR6's once. I melted the tips off with 10 degrees of timing out. It cost me a stock bottom end. I here they are like glow plugs. I now drive the car N/A with the tr7's and spray it. I have learned alot from ATV and shiznity. Pull alot of timming with correct plugs and dial in the A/F. Congrats on the new best.

lil bro

you lost a motor from a TNT fuel solenoid failure if I recall correctly + the fact of over 600rwhp with an auto on a stock block probably didn't help

Rick's car would make more power weather he leaned it out from fuel or added nitrous, so whichever way it is it worked. We like to go the nitrous route as well

now you should be doing good and need to get your turd on the hose again

Thanks Charlie, I agree with what your saying about the larger nitrous jet. The point is though, it needed to be leaned out some more. The oringinal jetting was a 62N 41F. Saw some gains by putting the 38F jet in. I think I could have run a 36F with the 62N and saw the same gains as the 67N 38F. I'm just happy to be making some headway.
