Long Tube's?

I've heard they "open up" your nitrous shot. Do long tubes really affect numbers, both on a dyno and at the track? I just had SLP's put on so I'm seeing what I'm in for.

Re: Long Tube's?

By your meaning of opening up I assume you want to know if the dosage is greater with the addition of longtubes. You bet your sweet azz it is <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Sorry I got a little excited when I thought of longtubes there. The SLP's are really going to allow the N20 shot to shine. Like the above posted, he gained 35 RWHP just with the addition of longtubes.

Re: Long Tube's?

I see now, because I dynoed my car finally but I screwed up and dynoed on a smaller shot. Oh well I actually made up the different with the LT's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Before I dynoed a 130 shot, and gained 92 to the wheels. Now I gained just about 80 to the wheels with a 100 shot. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> I'm going to dyno again in about a week or so with the 130 jets. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Long Tube's?

I did some testing on a mildly modified LS1 with nitrous a few years ago. The car picked up about 54hp and 74 ft-lb torque on the bottle by switching from the stock manifolds to a set of long tube headers.

Long tubes and nitrous are two mods that work very well together <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
