I have a NOS single solenoid dry kit installed (along with colder plugs, B&M adj fpr, and timing pulled by 1 degree).

I'd say I'm a decent driver (15.6 @ 89 with only intake and exhaust LS) but I'm barely beating Preludes and CL-S's. Are dry kits really a waste of money? Should I convert it wet? My bottle pressure is around 800-900 psi (with a bottle heater).

Is there anything I can do to gain more power?

Thanks.

 

what are you running now? was that 15.6 without the Nitrous? what are you running now with the nitrous?

 

check your jetting make sure its a 75 shot

 

Yeah 15.6 BEFORE n2o, haven't been track since the NOS, header, and tune.

The jet says .042 on it, I believe that is a 75 shot...

 

what would you say you run now if you had to guess?

 

that bottle pressure is too low...should be 1000 psi

 

I'd say I'm mid-high 14's.

 

how are you adding more fuel?

Rejet it for a 100 shot.

 

Well it's a dry kit so it just adds n2o.

I bumped up the fuel pressure to about 40 psi at idle (stock is 36-38 psi).

 

you arent getting anywhere because its running lean as hell, get a wet kit and it will make a world of a difference...

 

That looks like my solution right there, thanks.

 

hit up phasechangeracing they can get you a wet conversion kit and makes things really simple to convert

 

1200 psi, thats where its the best at. i got a jdm r motor and i have a 70 shot single fogger wet kit on my car, and i have 12 degrees timing with 50 psi of fuel, i went from 98 mph to 110 in the 1/4 mile, so i think ur motor can do better than that, an ls with a 75 shot wet kit should be trappin at 104mph or more

 

That's exactly what I'm thinking but it feels nowhere near that quick.

its cause its a dry kit...

 

So my next question: Where can I get a cheap dry--&gt;wet conversion?

Most dry kits I've seen run pig rich. (better safe than sorry) Bumping up the base pressure makes it even more rich.

 

So put the pressure back to stock???

 

You really need a wideband to gauge your setup. A dry kit is fine if tuned correctly. AEM's are on sale for like $240 on Ebay

he hasnt it done anything to make it rich though, his dry kit isnt like a zex with raising the fuel pressure, it would be best to upgrade to a wet kit regardless

 

well with my ls da with type r flywheel and msd coil on a 55 shot of zex i was running im guessing by all the cars i raced and beat around 14.3-14.5 area. nitrous really doesnt feel all that crazy as people make it out to to feel

 

well that is exactly what i was thinking, i mean it is 75 shot, but you areonly going to be so quick, unless you have other supporting modifications, i mean if you are runing around 14.5 and you were running 15.6 that is a little over a second faster on 75 shot. not grant it, you prolly need some tweaking and tuning on your system to have it running perfectly but that will only get you so far. what kind of drivetrain mods do you have, like flywheel,clutch,tranny,ect good clutch will help you along in better 1/4 times, you know all this. supporting mods will help tho

 

Yeah good point guys, I'm currently on stock clutch and flywheel, and I guess I can't complain on spending $300 and gaining a second in the 1/4.

Thanks for the insight!
