400' or so should be enough to show you something.
Just remeber no run time once you shut it off at WOT.

Hey ATV is that your motor? If it is, where are the injector bungs for it or is it going to be carb'd instead?

ATVracr

iTrader: (5)

Not my motor.
That is off of Kurt Urbans website.

I dont ever going to a carb.
DRY fuel injected nitrous set up is the greatest. LOL

Thanks for the link
Do you think 3AN lines are enough, or are you using 4 for your setups?
I know some places I can get the fittings to put one back on. I just hate pulling all the crap to get the intake off
I've been hoping to call and place an order with one of our sponsors for 3 days now, but every time I pick up the phone, someone comes in here and wants me to do something (<---at work, I hate dayshifts ).

We had an LS1 crossover last year.
Not sure if the 3an stuff would be better or not but we had issues with 7 & 8 last year even with the crossover.

Trying something different this year for coolant flow but we will still be using a LS1 crossover or the 3an lines, not sure which yet.

According to that website you linked, the water line adapters come tapped for 1/8"npt fittings, so I guess we would already be above that with a 3AN (3/16") line. It was worth asking though I think, it got me to google it lol.

This is what we used the last 2 years.....

What if you run a Fast intake then what would you recommend

ATVracr

Get the fittings from Kurt and make your own 3an set up is what I would do.

forgive me for my ignorance, what will the extra coolant tubes to the rear pf the head help do? obvi for cooling but why tho?

What can I say about Wayne that hasn't already been said? I think granny put it best on the bullet so there nothing really left to say. Wayne isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed but without a doubt he is still a tool.

That $16 for the plugs is the cheapest protection you can get. It would be foolish to trash a $30k motor over a $16 set of plugs. At the level ATV is at $30 a run ain't much. You would be surprised what it takes to run that car at a race.

SMITH

Thats all it does it help cool those rear cylinders off. If it can drop the water temp just a little bit that will help a great deal in helping keep those cylinder temps the same as the rest of the motor. I have -4 line on all mine going back to the radiator.

I don't deny that one bit, but it just seems to me I've never heard of forced induction guys pulling every plug after every run (perhaps I just haven't researched that enough though). I couldn't even imagine pulling plugs ONCE around some of the turbo manifolds I see on some members cars! At ~2.5# of n2o every run (anywhere from $2.50-$10/lb depending on location and availability) plus what could easily surmount to almost $100 in plugs per test-n-tune day, the cost effectiveness of nitrous over a forced induction setup seems like it drops off quickly.

Hey ATV, quick question on this.
I had read something in my searches about it not being all that great on automatic trannies to go from full throttle at the end of a run to just up and kill the flow/cooling to a transmission, which is what we do when killing it at the end of the run. It was a side topic in a thread about shifting into neutral at the end of the run (I guess a big no-no due to over-revving the drum) Any thoughts/feedback?
Also, with my current tire/gearing, I think for actual 1/4 mile time runs, I might have to use 4th (not 100% sure yet). Since I wouldn't be spraying in 4th, I cannot use the plugs from those runs for fine tuning, correct? Since the last second or so will be WOT N/A.

SMITH

You are not as likely to burn a piston or a plug with a turbo or blower as you are with nitrous. I usually run my plugs for 2-3 passes but check them every pass. If we are out in left field with the tune up I will throw them away every pass till its right.

Detroitmuscle

How do you check them after every run and then reuse them? Isn't it proper practice to read the plug only after it has been cut open?

SMITH

iTrader: (3)

I have a 10x lighted magnifying glass I use to check them out. Cutting them may be the best but that would make them useless and its time consuming at the track between rounds. I really have no clue as to what I'm doing anyway which is why I'm still slow.

I'll believe that last line when tires stop being round

V-10 Killer

iTrader: (22)

Yeah I don't believe anyone in this thread so far is slow lol
I'm still soaking all of this up. I got some addons ordered for my bottle and heater, B8EFS's, and ordered those coolant fittings from Kurt Urban Performance. I'm gonna pipe it up with 1/4" S.S. tubing. Hopefully that'll help those back two cylinders stay cool.
As soon as I get off this overtime stretch, I'm gonna get it all installed, grab some 110 for the standalone, and head for the nearest test-and-tune.
However if I have the same tranny issues I had back in 2006, it'll be another slow year
It'll be a serious buzzkill if I have to come up with another $600-900 for a professional re-tune.
