I picked up 14 MPH with a 125 shot years ago on a stocker. I think that is optimistic for most highly modified vehicles. Also, in general slower cars will pick up more than faster ones.
Yes. I would say it doesn't start getting hard until you get into the 10's n/a. That's also another reason why I said trap speed. For instance I pick up 17 mph in the 1/8th on a 200 shot. I had one car years ago that added 21 mph on a 150 shot. The funnest was a little s10 that picked up about 22 mph in the 1/8th on a 175 shot.
Those are huge gains. Am I correct in assuming they were both very light vehicles with near stock engines? Or perhaps cam and converter spec'd for nitrous?
One was a 6 speed F body , h/c , 3550 lbs, s15 was junkyard sbe 5.3 , carb swap, 218/220 cam , shorty headers, th350 , ptc nitrous converter, Wilson Plate, 3100 lbs. Also had a stock bottom end foxbody that had h/c/i , 150 dry kit that picked up 15 mph full weight .
The S-10 really makes sense, but the F-body is quite surprising. How much ET did it pick up?
The F body only had torque arm,lca , relocation brackets and 60 ft were consistent. Best pass was 1.65, 6.86 @104, 10.64@132. Motor passes that day were 12.10 -12.20 on the nitrous tune which had about 4-5 degrees pulled. On motor tune car would trap 90 -91 in the 1/8. The setup was very mild. Cnc 241, comp XE lobe cam in the 226/230 range , 114 lsa, ls6 intake, SLP headers , high flow cats, t56, 9in w/ 3.89 gear, 3550 raceweight.

93 octane. It really wasn't terrible when you consider the weight and mods. The heads weren't milled other than surface cleaning , the cam medium, catalytic converters, lid only, ls6 intake and 3550 raceweight. It did trap 115-116 on motor in the summer heat one of the few times we ran 1/4 on motor with it. If I remember it trapped about 89- 90 in the 1/8 on that day so picked up about 25+ on the backhalf on motor. The day we ran the 10.64 it was on the nitrous tune and was was trapping 111 shifting at 6400- 6500 . It seemed to like to be shifted about 6900- 7000 for best trap speed on motor. When we dynoed it made 405 rwhp @ 6400 through the 9 in. I feel like with some weight reduction, ram/ cold air, off rd pipe, more gear it would have ran 11.40 ish @ 119 -121 in good air which would not have been too bad for the setup. Those motor times were only launching about 3000- 3500 on Nitto drag radial.
