Thread: Looking for extra power at the drag strip

Has anyone ever got the whole kit because if I'm thinking right with the wet kit I'm going to need some sort of aftermarket fuel rails that have an fittings

Well you need an aftermarket fuel rail with an intercooler also.

Just use a -4 at the Fuel rail test port.

That's a great idea till I get some rails thanks

Don't forget to remove the schrader.

Lol that would definitely be a rookie move, bright side would be I would never have to refill the bottle

Well, rookie moves have happened before, as I suspect is the case here. I meant the fuel schrader- A wet kit is far less destructive when introduced with a ration of fuel present.

N2O master right here^

Lloyd I know what u meant, its something I prolly would have did.

Only you, Kooks, BMR, and my paint guy think that's neat. My wallet thinks it is rookie.

My onstar box weighed more than 2 lbs i can tell you that.

question for those who suggested the 3.0 pulley i did put it on today and with some tuning i have bad kr on shifts now, do you this this is the result of the only torque management i left on. Or do you think i need to change my plugs to 103's?

Mind you i run my current setup on 20* of timing i wouldnt think it would be such a substantial amount of knock for that pulley drop.

And to add to the confusion in my scans for my 3.0 and 3.25. i can pull up my knock at certain boost levels, and i dont get knock at around 11 psi on my 3.25. well if i find the point at which my 3.0 hits 11psi there is knock

just taking some suggestions about being able to run the 3.0 so i gave it a shot and its not going to work unless there is something im overlooking

well i haven't got the nitrous installed yet but im going to union grove for the test and tune today. bright side is at least ill get some time slips

It's still hard to believe that E85 would knock on a 3.0", headers, 1.9's, 65#ers... What AFR are you shooting for or can your wideband read in lambda?
