Default Nitrous 408 LS2 Build Thread

I've already started this so I'll try to document as much of the process that I have already done as possible.

To start:

Kotzur Racing LS2 408
Eagle Crank & Rods.
Arias nitrous pistons
Kotzur Racing L92 heads
24x/25x 6xx/6xx cam
Victor Jr L92 intake
6061 elbow
NW 102 TB
Nitrous Outlet Direct Port Rail System with Dedicated Fuel System & Nano
Th-400 with T-Brake 4400 ATI 8"
SMJ Line Lock and ABS Delete
LNC-002 two step & timing retard
Mosier 12 bolt 4:30 spool
QA1 frnt / rear
TRZ Adj LCA with TRZ Relocation Brackets
BMR Tube K
Madman Manual Rack
Wolfe Cage

Im sure there are a lot of things that I left out and I will add them as I remember. I should preface this as saying that this car started out as a 2000 Trans Am WS-6. I am converting it to a formula and repainting it and completly re-doing the interior in the process.

I will post pictures as I get them uploaded.

I recommend NOT using an 8" converter with a Nitrous engine.

When i had the converter spec'd I told them I was going to be hitting that converter with a 250-300 single stage. ATI told me it would do just fine. I also had it built when the car had less HP and weighed more, so it should be just a tad tighter as well.

Have you contemplated more cam? what is your compression and fuel choice? the 240s/250s stuff is very torquey in the strokers , I like to run more lift and duration with them, late 250s intake early mid 260s exhuast, .700 lift, if you want to rev them up a bit. The LSA requirement really depends on what your static compression is, to a degree. The reason you need wider lsa in the plastic intakes is more to do with the average airspeed through the runner. I would port the victor junior run more taper and keep the LSA on 108-110 even though it is a nitrous specific engine. I have run 106 with those intakes on 6L and they pick up.

I thought about stepping up the cam before the build somewhere around high 250's/ high 260's Mid 600'/600's on 110-111. But I didn't want to push the limits of a LS2 block twisting it to almost 8k on a 300+shot. So i decided to keep it around 7400-7500 on a 250 shot. This should be plenty to get me into the mid 9's. My C/R is 11.6:1. I still want to run pump gas N/A and C16 or Q16 in the Dedicated Fuel System for nitrous.

I am also still debating which throttle body setup to go with. 6061 elbow with NW102 or accufab 4150 and build an elbow.

I would hope even at full weight you run much quicker than mid 9s with that compression and 250 off the brake.

I'm just assuing around mid 9's from seeing what other guys setups are doing. If it goes faster than that, great. But I would be happy with 9.50's - 9.40's.
