Default Almost 5s!

60- 1.35
1/8th- 6.03@113

200 shot


Had the 250 jets in the night before and ran slower... still trying to find out the issue there.

The air was horrible though, 3000+ da, 90% humidity

yea im not really sure whats going on with mine, went 6.09@112 on the 150 jets that could have used 2 more deg and a little less fuel... I think that something is restricting me but the plugs look good so im not sure what it could be.

Gonna try a -6 feed line and see if that makes any difference...

The -4 is where your restriction is. Depending on length you'll start to see it fall off the closer you get to 250.

I'm on -6 myself, I think with a little more tweak's I could have went 5's!

Changing gears now and adding progressive with 250 pills....

Thanks guys yea the air is killing me, on motor this spring it went 10.80@127-128 now it's running 11.1x at 122-124. That car hooks good and goes straight hopefully I see some difference with the added volume of the bigger feed line, could be a easy fix!

I really want to swap gears or put on some 29.5s and see how well it runs out the back door, on the 150 when it went 9.59 it was on the limiter at 139 just before the stripe.

I upgraded to the -6 and could really notice a difference...pretty sure the guy at nitrous outlet said a -4 line could only flow 200-225
