How much more nitrous to hit 133mph traps??? I'm trapping 127-128mph right now running high 11.0's. I have a bolt on, heads and cam corvette with 3.90 gears and DR's. I'm also spraying 150shot through Dave's NX plate system.
So how much more nitrous will I have to spray to hit 132-133 mph traps? Will I hit that goal if I bump from 150 to 175?

I actually went from 150 to 175 myself.

I have seen way different ET's with the MPH your showing.
For example, I have dyno'd 405rwhp N/A and I run 117-119mph N/A

Verdad Gallardo well, before everyone rags on the numbers, they are estimates and meant to answer the original question of adding 25hp. If you don't like my spread sheet, try this one.. very similar numbers though

The calculator comes out corrrect for my car 3300lbs, 128.9 = 551.6rwhp. So it does seem the spread sheet is crank hp.

Thanks for the spreadsheet and links. I wasn't trying to bash your products, just that I didn't think they were acurate.
I think now that they are pretty close! And I need to see about 50-75 more rear wheel horsepower to see the traps I want.

Todd, I think the spread sheet and calculator are pretty close. Thanks for sharing.

That was a good post Todd, as with anything, nothing is cut in stone.
Good job, thanks.
As for my slow car, don't forget I was running 155-159. Adding 25 HP didn't do much, 1-2 Mph.
I was at 1050 HP, so 25 HP is 1/2 the increase % compared to 500 HP.
Weather made more change than adding 25 HP.

I'm going to be buying some of that trick fuel from you this year..........if you'll let me.
I'm going to aim for low 130's for traps. That will be my only gaol for the year!
