not sure if this where I should post this(also posted in rear sedction),but here it goes.My car is a stalled cammed a4 putting down 350-355 rwhp and was thinkining of adding a 100 shot to it.How can I keep or preserve the 10 bolt with it.I wont use it from a dig just from a roll 25-30mph then mash the peddle and only use it at the track when i get the 12 bolt in.So can I use the 100 from a roll?How many guys or gals out there use n20 with the 10 bolt and what size shot and total hp.
thanks
john

 

You didn't say which 10 bolt. I ran a 9.88 @ 139 with a stock 8.5" Posi.

150 Shot on a mild 468 BBC @3200 lb's.

 

as long as you dont get too sticky of tires, you should be alright

 

Max torque to the rear is 1st gear (duh) so you
might want to hold off spray until you clear the
1-2 shift. On my low-mods car it's not like 1st
has traction to spare anyway.

Some window switches will let you hold off the
shot until the 2nd time you pass min RPM, etc.
But even cooler would be to use the trans control
signals and enable spray only in 2 & 3, say. Relay
logic would be pretty simple. That way you're not
limited to only strip, 0 to XXX type use like with
the "smart" window switches.

 

I broke 3 10 bolts with my six speed, but I have a friend with the same setup and an a4. He has never had a problem. we both were spraying a 100 to a 150.

 

thanks keep em coming

 

Typically traction is your worst enemy. If you use sticky tires the 10 bolt will typically die an early death. One thing we experienced is not all 10 bolts are built the same. Some, for whatever reason, last longer than others. But be assured as you add power and traction the 10 bolts life is limited.

John you will be alright if you are worried just turn it on in second gear but once you are moving it shouldent be a problem.

 

I twisted a 10 bolt axle on motor only.

 

Still running stock 10 Bolt.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Thats what I'm talking about...............nice

Im still shopping for a n20 kit just concerned about the rear.Dont know if Ill go for the 150 shot just yet may start at the 75 then 100.So basically from a roll I should be Okay

 

People like Mike Comp T/A are the exception.
All predictions are speculations, as results differ drasticly from car to car. The only safe assumption you can make is that you are on borrowed time!
Generally speaking, what most people said in this thread is true: Sticky tires will kill a 10 Bolt.
I have run mine @ the track with nitrous, but I realize, that I am at the mercy of limited traction. I would not put faith in anything other than a street tire. Odds are, You will NOT brake it IF you run on street tires only. This is even more true if you race from a roll only!

 

Just hit it out of the hole, you'll be alright unless you leave on a transbrake or something.

Hit it with a 200 shot!

 

stock 10bolt here, times in sig

 

james
If you do the 200 shot then Ill step up and grow some *****,but you first(lol)!!Ill stick with the 75-150 til then.Better yet when is marc gonna step up since he seems to egg us on all the time.The 3 of us could meet up at jeff's strap it to the dyno and see what happens.

oh by the way everyone I have nittos I dont think those are too sticky what do you all think?

 

get mt dr's, nittos won't hold. At least they haven't in my experience.

I'll probably hit mine with a 100-150, never know what may happen after that though.

 

You guys can pressure me too put the 200 shot on all you want

 

marc go for a 250 shot.scared yet?!!

 

Scared? me? No way im fearless
