Ok fellas, I have to win this race. How much spray is it gonna take? Long read. Got into it with a 2012 Mustang 5.0 with a standard trans (M6?). He is running full bolt ons has a set of race stars with slicks and some suspension mods and makes 440 to the tire. I have a bolt on only 1999 camaro SS, M&H racemasters with suspension mods and I make 385 to the tire but it weighs 3200 lbs. We raced motor to motor from a dig saturday he shorted the honk like a puss and got out a car and I just hung there a car back until 4th and he started inching away. He got out talking **** about his brand new full bolt on car beat my 13 year old bolt on car and all kinds of crazy *** stuff. Cops came before I could get a re run with him but we agreed to do it again saturday. He caught wind that I was gonna hook the kit on my car and now guess what? He is putting a kit on his junk. He SAYS he is gonna run a 100 progressed to a 200 on his car so now I ask the question, what is it gonna take to put his *** in the rear view.
My nitrous setup is Vic junior spray bar kit from Nitrous Outlet. (running a fast 4150 TB)
I have a racetronix fuel pump with a hot wire kit and 60lb injectors. (car usually runs on E85 but I dont have enough fuel pump to run E85 and the kit so im gonna do this on 93)
Well LS brothers, what size shot is it gonna take for my 13 year old car to keep the mustang at bay?

So he is going to put a kit on his car between now and Saturday and hit it with a 200 shot? Not sure about this guy but I put a lot of time into tuning my nitrous setup. I couldn't do it in a week. Maybe if I had nothing else to do I could rush it but I wouldn't.
Go a head and let him talk ****. Get him amp'd up. Then on the first run don't move and let him run it out and see if his **** stays together.
What shot are you running now?

This is what I was thinking but my buddy 10secZ28 (My nitrous tuner) thinks its gonna blow the tires up in smoke. So what we are gonna do is start on a 150 hit and step up to a 200 and see what happens.
When we are tuning the car, would you mind if I PM'd you pics of my plugs so you can pick them apart? That would be ****!
The car hasnt been set up on a shot yet. Everything is in the car and all I have to do is wire the kit up. We have a saved nitrous tuning file we can work off of to give us a head start on the tuning. 10secZ28 is bad *** with nitrous tuning and he gets it close in about 3 or so pulls.
If its not ready then its not ready. I dont HAVE to run saturday but I plan on it for sure.

If he's got a stock clutch I'd like to see how it handles the power. He's sitting close to 3800lbs with a driver so...

150 is probably all you will need... you will put 2-3 cars on him instantly and he will never catch you from there.

Thanks for your help (in the future). Pretty damn cool of you to do that.

It shouldn't take much being that you most likely have a good weight advantage on him. Around 400#'s. The spray bar at 150 shot do the trick. If you need any help or have any questions when finishing up installing feel free to reach out to us. Just don't rush the install to beat someone. Better to have it dialed in and making stellar power than rush it and not run that good.
Let him be cocky and rush the install on his nitrous. I promise it will not end nicely. If he hits that car with a 200 that fuel pump will be at its limits if he has stock fuel pump for sure.
If he sets it up right he could end up like one of our customers 11 5.0 on 150 made 414 off spray and shy of 600 on spray ( i think 589) with 28in radials on the dyno. That was on a 150. He was running headers, x pipe, Boss Intake and cold air intake. The new 5.0 likes nitrous just as much as the LSX.
