Default what should i feel??

I want to start of saying that this is a newbie question and a weird one. i just put a dynotune dry system in my 02 camaro. I have it set up with a 75 shot. when i use the nitrous i can deffentily feel it but it dosent feel like its adding 75 horsepower to my car. i was wondering if anyone had an explanation for this. is it just me or did i mess up when i put it in. thank you

well, did you have a heater on it?
if the bottle press wasnt 950-1100 it wasnt 75 worth of spray.
also, dry doesnt hit hard, and lastly, 75 worth of spray isnt much. i hit my vett with 125 dry and sometimes i have a hard time feeling it unless im racing some one

bottle pressure?

you should feel 75 rwhp, a noticable gain, but the lines in the road are not going to start bending and your eyeballs are not going to get sucked into the back of your head...

A 75 just feels like the car is being pushed. You can def feel it but it's nothing to shake a stick at.

I started off with the 75 and increased it to a 100 shot. As weird as it sounds, the extra 25 hp made a huge difference...SOTP at least. Track times still to come.

On the same token, HSW rates their kits at rwhp. I'm not sure if dynotune does or not so that could be another factor involved.

Yes, single nozzle. No numbers yet. I'll be strapping it to the dyno within a month so I'll find out soon enough. I ran into problems with my WS and I still need to reinstall the kit.

After looking through all my files I can't find any pictures. I know I have some though.

As far as I know most wet kits are rated at rwhp...some dry kits aren't. When I spoke with cold fusion their dry kits weren't rated at rwhp.

don't know if your doing this but to me on an 85 shot it doesn't "seem" as strong going from 50 on the freeway vs a solid stop spray. but data logging can show you what was actually going on compared to what your mind is telling you.
could also be in your tune. nozzle location is another factor.

but even on a 40 or so shot, i could feel a difference from stock na and got exited. lol.

Dynotune kits are flywheel rated.

75 HP on the LS1's is not that much. We rate our kits at the motor as many of our customers have done drivetrain mods and this would throw off any rwhp rating. The kits that rate at the RW are just giving you bigger jets - not a more efficient system. As a matter of fact the DYnotune kits given equivalent jetting rate right at the top! Basically 2 kits same jetting - DYnotune will outperform. We will supply you whatever jetting you like for whatever HP level you are looking for!
