What kind of times to expect on a 125 shot? ON a stock 98 ss with a 3:42 auburn rear end and a 6 speed. What kind of quarter mile times you would guys estimate with a 125 shot of nitrous. Also would a wet system or dry system be Better. Thanks Brandon.

You could run very deep in the 12's, probably hit 11's even. The fact still remains that it doesnt matter how much power you have if you cant use the power to get the car down the track it does you no good.

i'm looking at a 125 dry system. I like the idea of the dry systems because you are relying on the MAF to supply the fuel rather than a solenoid that could possibly go bad at any time, leaving you without an engine.

solonoids now a days fail very rarely. id go with the wet kit since its very simple to tune and easy to install. on street tires id expect to drop 1 full second off your et. i ran a 12.7@113 vs 13.6@103 same night about 30 minutes apart (plus i was only spraying from 3600-5600rpms, when i go back this or next week ill be 3000-5800 so i guess if all things are equal ill run about a 12.4@116, then again i have a pair of et streets now so ill be hoping to dip into the 11s

and in either case, if you're worried about it, run a wideband switch.

ive heard of peoples's mafs "freezing" from nitrous but ive never actually heard of thier car doing this, so really its just rumors, but i havent really read anyone's fuel noid failing, just user error in wrong wiring, wrong jet. both wet and dry. i guess its just what you plan on doing with your car. nitrous being your only mod id do dry, if you plan on a head/cam or cam only id do wet to keep from redoing the fuel system, unless your like Robert and have one of those fancy cars with special fuel sysems

The MAF freezing thing is really the screen becoming plugged up because of condensation build up which then effects the performance of the MAF (you see, then some dummy reports that his maf failed and/or froze up). This is why we remove the screen when dry shooting.
Here is a quote from another post, that I just saw tonight on another site.
We have had reports of this happening right here on ls1tech. I have also had guys pming me with this issue. It's a reality we are going to have to live with. We will now have to stay on top of the fuel noids, by checking/servicing more often.

Also beware of the Ethonal in pump gas, it caused my fuel piston to swell up and not open completly causing a very lean run when I retuned for a 150shot.

that might have happened to me during my lean spike on the dyno, even with a richer pill combo, is there a way to test and confirm the swelling of the plunger?
