200 shot.

Motor in sig, will a 200 shot be enough to get me in the 9's with all the supporting mods(rear end, clutch, suspension) . around 3400-3500 race weight. Should be around 580-600 rwhp on motor.

Thinking about a plate system. Want to stay with a wet shot, cuz I don't want to run around pig *** rich when I am not on the bottle. Very new to nitrous so any help will be appreciated.

Like I said guys, very much of a newb when comes to the squeeze. I thought that you had to run your tune very rich to make up for the nitrous.

thats what the MAF is for, it detects the added air (nitrous) and the injectors pick up the slack,

good thing about dry kit is you dont have to worry about fuel solenoids failing and running lean, and its less stuff you have to wire up and maintain

if you dont buy a piece of **** nitrous kit, you dont have to worry about them failing.

but yes, if you dont get into the nines, thatd be weak.

if the solenoids are used often they will fail eventually,and progressive controllers will wear them out even faster. i've had 2 NX fuel solenoids go bad in less than one year before, and IMO and many others, NX is the best N2O company out there. Nothing out there's bulletproof.

That's why I prefer the manual, it actually takes some driving skill to get fast times.

If ya can slam some gears, I think it's a go, given the tune is set-up spot on. Don't get me wrong though, getting any car into the 9's in a stick is quite an accomplishment, go for it.

yeah on a STOCK long block and some nitrous, H/C/I on that thing and you can be sure of 9's with easy, traction is just the enemy at that point
