9's first time out..
We have plans to send the car to Madman for front suspension, scaling, and 8 point cage in next few months hopefully. Not real comfortable making 1/4 passes at the speeds it will be capable of in the 1/4 once we do gear swap.
Is your 4l60e holding up well after that? I'm still on a built 4l60e as well. What size are you restalling the converter too? I figured the ss3600 was perfect for the spray. I'm on a ss4000 which may be too big for the large shots judging by my mph.
^Negative, but we can agree to disagree.
Nitrous jet size ratings can be very misleading from different companies, which will have a lot of people thinking they're making a lot more power than what's advertised, so others and I have found that the robietherobot.com calculator and other similar online calculators to be pretty accurate. Fuel jetting is a different story.

That's around a 300 shot. Is your 4l60e holding up well after that? I'm still on a built 4l60e as well.

Yes we are running a Rossler Terminator III , with every option he offers. Car weighs 3500+ lbs and trans has about 50-60 1/8 mile passes spraying 175-250 and about 15-20 motor passes and still works like a charm. Going to send the converter to PTC and let them rework it based on specs of our combo that I will provide them. The problem with the SS series is the STR is a little to aggressive with nitrous especially the bigger shots and makes it really tough to get the car hooked consistently. As far as effeciency the 3600 was fine up to 200 but it is blowing through the converter some on the 250. ^Negative, but we can agree to disagree.

An .088 jet is an .088 jet (or whatever size yet), regardless who made it and what they rate it at. The orifice size is the same.

Verdad Gallardo Yes sir. He is my son. Joint venture. Doesn't really matter what it comes out too. That's why we listed the jet size. Our next step will be .093 jet whatever that works out to. Regardless of what jet or orifice it is it will never make the exact same power on different setups or vehicles. Main thing is that you have the appropriate fuel jet , fuel supply, correct heat range plug, and timing that the eingine wants which varies from engine to engine even if identical setups. Baseline settings are just usually a safe starting point.
Looks like you could maximize your current combo some. You are only picking up about .6 and 7 mph on a 150 shot. That tells me gearing, converter, tuneup or something isnt setup for nitrous . Ours is still far from maximized even though it does run well for the mods.
Exactly Speedtigger. Bottle valve, feed line size., solenoid, jet spread, timing , bottle pressure can all effect how much power a jet size makes. We run filter, -6 line, leaner fuel jet, conservative timing , consistent bottle psi 900-950 . Lot more to maximizing than just throwing a kit on and going with a baseline tuneup. Our car will go quicker once we make a few changes we have planned.

This time around, when I started researching, I was very surprised by how much I did not know that I did not know. But, some hours on Yellow Bullet and a couple brain picking sessions with some outlaw racers got me on the right track. My $400 used Cheater kit quickly turned into a $1500 system, but my car ran hard right out of the box and the plugs look excellent and safe.
i'm really liking how fast you guy's are going , hard work , research and seat time and i'll get there . ..
