Edit: Wait a minute I am not going to shut up, as I feel I know what Iam talking about. You can be a smart azz all you want.
Run #2 358.57rwhp at 1:30
5 minutes later
Run #3 387.40rwhp at 1:35
now I see a gain of 28.83rwhp. I contend that minimal additional heat soak was seen, as the time was to short, and the spray would counter act anyway. What you have is a 28rwhp shot, period. As for the tire squat using up hp on the 3rd run only, someone please explain this to me.
You know I was trying to point some things out in good faith. If you don't have the capabiltie to have a mechanical debate on an issue, well that's your loss, as I am done with you.

Now, given the fact that the hp dropped from run 1 to run 2 suggests that the hp dropped again on run 3 "blower only." If one follows this, the limited data suggests that the N2O gave the heat soak lost hp back and then a little more. Now, I did not have a bottle heater so pressure was less than optimum. And I know my convertor is not in a good way these days either. But, all things considered, the data seems to make sense.

But why do you explain this now and blow me off before. I am a schooled mechanic, degreed engineer and have been considered a master mechanic in my trade for over 30years. I don't like blowing my own whistle, but I can't think of the last time I was disrespected like this. Maybe I am blowing this out of proportion and need to go get some pain meds for my neck. Sorry no problem on this end.
Robert
Edit: Oh I forgot, I am not a turbo expert, but the current project (Vic Edelbrocks new yacht) I am working on is 2-16cly Detroit Desiels both running twin turbos. This is not my first set-up like this. If you would like to see Vic's old Yacht check the Victor E in the link.

Robert,
I understand you're trying to help and I think you understand that I'm frustrated.
This just isn't a combo that you can shoot from the hip on.
My combo is maxing out my MAF at 4700 rpm with 9 psi and seeing IAT's up to 160 degrees. It's been noted in GMHTP that the Radix IAT sensor location does not give accurate IAT's as it is located in the base. Actual Radix IAT's can be expected to be many degrees higher. Mine are probably in the 180-190 degree range. The intercooler is located in the base of the aluminum manifold so it is very prone to heat soak.
Now... knowing that I am moving more than 65lbs of air through my intake system... a 50 hp N2O hit is very small compared to that large volume of hot air. It cools it a bit... but not a great deal.
As to the hp loss... why do you believe that the 50 shot would not be susceptible to regular drivetrain loss? I don't follow that at all. I'm shooting it in the elbow before the blower.

Your drivetrain loss is going to be there whether you spray or not. Point is, n2o is measured at the rear wheels. what ever is going on it seems your not really getting a 50rwhp shot, that's all I am saying. Do you think that because you have a higher than normal drivetrain loss, that you can't up your shot? I would think that motor could handle it. you've got a beast for sure, though. I understand your point about collective heat sink. i would think that tuning for optimum power would be at it's normal average heat sink temp, then tune the shot from a known normal temp? what about a resistor on the Iat to trick into correct temp. This is done on the spray and some wiring schematics in my web. I am sure you guys are talking about a Speed Density tune to eliminate the Maf?

The highest N2O shot on a magnacharger that I've ever read of is a 65-75 hp shot. It's not the size of the shot... it's the total cylinder pressure that is the big question. How much can it take? What level is it at now? Who knows? By all accounts and guesses the LQ4 is good for 13 psi and maybe as much as 15 psi. But not many have ventured out there.

I was gonna say a lot of your drive train loss is probably those big heavy *** BFG All terrain's they're not light (there's a reason I don't work out anymore since I started at les schwab lol). And that sidewall flex scares me, I mean these aren't wrinkle wall drag tires after all.

Robert, you're killing me. Maybe you need to go back and learn some more nitrous oxide theory. Nitrous has from its inception been rated by its thoretical out put which is SOLEY based on 2 simple things:
1 Bottle pressure
2 Orifice size
Of course MANY factors play into what the actual results are. Just because some companies rate thier jetting on RWHP dosen't mean they are correct. Alot of these companies say Oh look at our kits, we make more HP with the jets WE rate for XXXhp. Its all a game.
SO, if the company rated thier kits at fly wheel HP (Which btw, most do) and you figure in a constant Drivetrain loss of close to 30% Then its pretty damn close to 50hp.
Now I believe that Cory has other issues, but your Nitrous Theory is Out to lunch.
Also, its neglegent for you to say "it'll handle it" a 50RWHP addition to a stock motor thats already at near 550 fly wheel is pushing it over 600 at the fly. Lets see hom much longer yours takes it bofore it goes POP.

The faster you spin it.... the more power it takes... the more loss. Once you get up to the 17,000 + rpm range the radix takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 hp just to drive it. At 12,000 rpm the power to turn it is much less. See where I'm coming from? (For others reading... this is why turbos kick so much more ***! They don't have the same hp loss off the top)

I do know it can be a challenge to get things sorted out, but it seems your on your way.

The sidewall wrinkle is normal for a truck tire like that on the dyno. Parrish's truck does it too. It's just because the sidewall is so large and the truck is strapped down. Good numbers.

I just figured out the big issue on what seem to be low numbers... the TB only opened to 78% according to the datalogger. It somehow entered a TCS mode that was not known to be possible.
Now I can finally explain why shifting the truck at 6200-6300 rpm on track is faster than shifting at a lower RPM. This was troubling us earlier because we were seeing the power roll off at about 5000 rpm. That just doesn't jive with the real world drag results! I don't know if I can get around that TCS issue or not. I guess I'll have to call LPE again to see what they did...
It is interesting that the TB only opening to 78% still maxed the MAF reading at 4700 rpm. I don't know what's up with that
