Question Not enough?

I just recently dynoed my car (mods in sig) it made 400 HP N/A and only picked up 75 HP on a dry 125 shot (52 jet). I have a small NOS noid and a single nozzle thru the filter. Could it be placement, is only nozzle enough? The car is tuned and the A/F was good on the motor and the gas(not sure what it was but was told it was good). Does anyone think I should go with a wet shot, would it even help? Thanks in advance for any help!!!

yhea, sounds like the bottle may be low. you can have no jet, with low press, its never going to make the "125" hp.

I bet its your injectors. My car made the numbers in sig on dry shot 28.8 inj. Thats all the injector I have is good for. 125 engine hp jetting with assuming bottle psi and everything else was on par will net a solid 100rw

nos does do that, but it should make more then that, i would think a 100 shot would make atleast 80 to the wheels.

imslow. i loved the turbos, but the kit i had just wouldnt do what i wanted, and i was tring stuff like most people wernt, kind of uncharted territory, and it was hard.
so i figured time for a change.
thanks

Bottle was right over 1000 psi. I thought it would make about 100 HP was looking for 500 rwhp on the gas. Also I do have the 28.8# injectors and it is tuned for them.

You said the A/F was good on the dyno but you need to know what exactly was it. I found it made all the difference in the world running the A/F below 12 with a dry shot even a small one. when i was running my 5177 kit it was like night and day. did you log for KR?
