How high do you rev your car? Are you still using the stock oiling system?

Why the oxygenated race fuel are you still running O2 sensors or is there another reason. And are you running the same timing as others have suggested. I am hoping for some mid 5's in the 1/8. I am mostly going to grudge race the car it still has the leather interior in it. I should be able to launch the car pretty hard I have 28-13.50 et streets on the car. is that 350 shot progressed.

OK...you guys seem to be the experts. I have a 408, 10.9:1 CR and was planning on spraying a wet shot, plate kit. I am planning on starting low 150 shot and working my way up to 200, then 250. What plug would you guys recommend with each of these shots and how much timing? Should I go to a stand alone fuel system for the 200+ shot or 150+. What fuel should I run? I use HP Tuners and currently my timing is 28* but that is NA tune. I currently have TR6's thinking that would be good for the 150 and going 1-2 colder for the 200 and 250.

Thanks
Jon

FOr your compression, when you put the 150 to it I would get sime # 8 heat range plugs with the 150 to start. Once you're ready to move it up to 200, go toa #9, then with the 250 a #10. Ya probably will be able to stick with the #9 with the 250 because your compression is a little lower, but I would still start with the 10. It's only gonna help save things.

Timing, I have 17 degrees in my car with a 150 hit, but I know it will take a couple more degrees, so 17 would be a good safe starting point for where you're at. Ya probably will be able to work it back up to about 10 on a 150 hit, then when you go to the 100, pull 3 more back out, see what the plugs look like, I'd guess you will be able to work a degree back into it. Then when you go to the 250, again pull 3 more and see what the plugs look like, again you'll probably be able to put a degree back into it.

Always better to start safe then go burn the barn down on the first run.

On the fuel side, with your compression you probably can get away with 110 octane (I do NOT believe in running one fuel in the tank and one in the standalone, run the same thign everywhere) and be safe on the 150 shot, 200 I dunno if the 110 would be 100% safe, 250 I would definately gho toa 116 octane fuel.

For the cost of the fuel vs the cost of a set of pistons... I always air on the side of caution. The fuel that guess who is running is pretty good stuff, I run a a118 octane Nos blend made by Torco, but torco's in trouble right now and the last batch that was made is not up to par from what I hear, the stuff I have is out of a year old drum that was just cracked, so once that is gone, I'm switching over to VP unless someone buys torco out and gets the good stuff being made again. This is a shitty situation because the torco was really good fuel, and a TON cheaper then what VP stuff is. Unofrtunately, there's nowhere around here to get the sunoco stuff or rockett fuel either, who also makes a pretty good 117 octane fuel.

Unfortunately, I am probably gonna switch over to VP when get back to racing (taking a year off after the end of this season) and depending on the cost, I may just get a drum of the C23, that's mad expensive ****, but I only go thru about one drum a season, so it's not a huge deal. Last time I checked, the C23 was like 725 for a 55 gallon drum, but that's what all the big nitrous cars are running, that's what steve Johnson reccommends for fuel for cars with alotof nitrous on them, so I wll probably go that route.

When I get teh car back out, there's gonna be a directport on it with probably a launcher setup on it as well, and I'm gonna put some power to thei thing and see what it will do, so the better fuel, is an added safety net.

Yes, car has a stock GM oil pump and pan. Rev limiter is set at 7200 but I only run it up to 7000.

higher the amount of oxygen in the fuel the better. It is hard to get and some fuels have more then others. ET-streets suck big dick. If I were you, I would put a 325/50 MT radial on it. Easy to go low 1.2 60s on them. Yes the 350 is progressed with a NOS digital controller.

Are you running the new launcher system?

I had planned on running the 325-50 MT radial and at the beginning of the year they were on back order. I wish I had known they actually hook better I would have just waited. But they should fit on my car no problem so I may go ahead and buy a set now.
