I have a few tricks up the old sleeve for racing these guys at thier own game. They generally will only run from a roll. So far I have not lost. This new setup should only make it better.
You talking about Jonnah in Miami with the maroone Supra?
He raced my friends 408 stroker ZR1 Vette, 780 RWHP on spray.
The Supra made him look silly from a roll. It wasn't a race at all.

Thats the guy I'd like to beat from a roll with my car when it gets all dialed in. Thats the only totally bad *** Supra I know of down here and have also seen a few times. There's a few 650-750 RWHP ones too.

Im not sure of the guys name...but yes its the one that raced the ZR1. However...the ZR1 and Supra race was not what it appeared. Im sure there may be a rematch at some point. PM me if you want the details.

383LQ4SS I thought you were a pretty smart guy, why are you trying to push so much fuel through the manifold? Also, you really are asking to do a lot of things at once. I mean holding down 3 buttons, shifting, making sure you don't puddle fuel?

The best nitrous setup for street racing would be 2 stages. 1 dry, 200 or so... which also lowers the timing for you. Then hit it with 300 more, direct port or dry, whichever you want. With some MSD 50#'s you could really hit it with a lot dry. I'm not sure why someone else hasn't done it yet.

.
The only fuel going through the manifold will be from the TNT wet stages. No more than 200 hp. To keep the likelyhood of backfire down the wet stages will all take place above 4600 rpm or so in stages.

There will be no buttons to hold down. Only arming switches. The rest is automatic and controled by RPM window switches. Doing it this way greatly reduces any chance of accidental overload of nitrous if you bog or go WOT at too low of an rpm. Good for the street and the many conditions you may encounter. As a matter of fact...you can run around with the switches armed, bottle open and not give another thought to your nitrous sytem. When your ready...just go WOT. The System will take care of the rest. It does get any simpler as far as activation.
