Default Curious about N20?

Ive had my share of N20 cars but I wanted to get some insite from the bottle junkies on the board.My car is a true 11.20 car as of now.I feel thats realistic.

I'm already at 120 MPH and making over 425RWHP.

Say I wanted to go to a TP4200E,drop my gear back to 4.10 with my 28in slicks.I have the 30's and would think I;d have to add a better fuel pump but other than that?

Would it be safe at say 500RWHP on a stock short block?

With a good hook what could I expect from a car running 11.2@120 N/A with the addition of a 100 shot from a car that is setup for 1.47 60ft now?

6 tenths,7 tenths?

are you planning on changing gears?

If not...you are overgeared IMO and might not gain that much

well one thing is the converter is going to flash like a SOB on the low end...Azzkicker's car did that BIG time with the 4400 stall convertor

Problem is you can't really optimize a setup for both N/A and N20

You've really got a good N/A setup happening...

Just my $.02
