I woul think a 11.0 on a 150 is a 10.0 but with a 6 speed traction will dictate. I would leave with it in 2nd gear to get the tune and car sraight if traction seems ot be there work it in sooner.

If everything goes right I am gonna try to get some 10.5x28in tires, I think that would help..Last night I took it for a ride and I noticed fuel pressure wasn't as high as it should be so I apparently am still having a problem with fuel pressure, so I gotta check that out tonight. Providing I get everything worked out by thursday I am gonna take it to the track friday so I will be sure to let you know how it goes. Thanks for all the info though..You aren't too far down the road you outta just come do some racing up here at Mason Dixon Dragway...do you know where that is?

Its ok carquest came through...

I changed plugs, wired up the solenoids and got my window switch wired up last night, have you ever messed with the "Nitrous Outlet Digital Dual Window Switch"? I've heard some good things about it on the forums but have no personal experience. I guess if the rain clears up this evening I will be messing with the tune. If we can get it close, I'mm off to the track tomorrow...You said start by pulling 9 degrees timing and then work down from there correct?...

if your n/a tune is optimum, i would take 6* out from that and work on the afr first, and do a least one visual check of your plugs for the first run. on efi stuff you can micro manage the afr better, but only if you have room with injector duty cycle, just my personal opionion, i don't have any n20 experience like the heavy hitters on this site. i got a 346 and i run 42lbs just for that reason. search and learn how to read plugs, the heavy hitters have posted many threads and have been very helpful to me. thanks guys!!

ok that sounds good...So I am gonna hook everything up, set the window switch to whatever and then I am gonna pull 9 degrees timing and then go test it out...do I need to mess with a/f ratio before I try it or do I need to make any other adjustments before I try it...once again sorry for the 50 questions, just trying to learn what I can...do wanna make a dumb mistake that will ruin anything

Its going to be rich probably need a 34 nitrous jet. but it should not be rich enough to hurt it. put timming at 22* to start so subtract what ever you need from your base to get there. and make an 1/8 mile pull or 1 full gear if your on the street. if it spins do not slap pedel it just role into it. need 3 good seconds of pull at least. get your fueling right first then timming unless the timming is to much which i highly doubt.

Wouldn't a 34 nitrous jet make it even more rich? I was thinking I would need a smaller fuel jet... I didn't get it hooked up for this weekend, I wanna make sure everything is right before I test it out.

no fuel is smaller than nitrous. roughly half the size on anythin less than 65. not exactly but it gets you close.
