Hey, posting this for a friend of mine. He has a topmount setup with a gt35r on a stock ls motor running 12lbs. Anyway, he wants to run a 50 shot of nitrous (wet shot). He's got a stock fuel rail with the modified fuel pressure regulator (B&M I believe). Does anyone here have any suggestions on where he can tap a source for fuel?

 

Well for starters if its a stock LS i wouldnt hit it with ANY nos with boost. NOt on a stocker. Secondly if he wants more power then turn the boost up to make more power, just take out enough timing because the stock bottom end ls isnt oging to like it to much.

If he is serious about the car/engine then he should piston/rod tat short block and turn the boost up with 150 shot. If he is looking to get better spool with the 50 shot its not worth it.

 

Piston/rods is on his way for over the winter. He's running consistent 12.5's with only 274whp, when he turns up the boost his clutch starts to slip. That's why he wants to try the 50shot through certain gears and see when it will not slip. Its just the stock clutch thats holding him back

 

Wouldn't the instantaneous torque spike from the n2o make the clutch slip more?

You said it yourself, the stock clutch is holding him back.

 

OK OK, we all know what he should do lol. But back to the original question?

 

Sell the nitro sysyem and then use the $ to buy a clutch install it and retune for another 10lbs of boost or how much ever his fuel system will support and blast into the 11s with ease. I personally wouldnt bother with juice if I was running a snail with that much potential...

Good luck

 

Here's the thing, theres only 1 track day left here and that is this weekened. So he is borrowing this nitrous kit from a friend of his to try and break into 11's this weekend. A little time strapped, but thanks for the suggestions and whatnot.

 

splice into the fuel line between the fuel filter and the rail.
