YOu damn liar, you said you were N/A, you said you had no power adders, now you are saying about your nos. Hmm... 14.6 N/A, and 14.6 Nitrosified (my own word, and i like it) are two ENTRIELY different things, i knew your time was too good to be true for us (at the moment)


And please, before I get 10 people saying that he never said anything about that time, read other posts, he did say that, and he even SPECIFICALLY said he used no nos.

O, sorry misread, and to answer your question. First off, I dont love zex, had some friends use it, dont think it puts out what its rated at. hit a dyno to solve that. Second off, how do you tune for the nitrous, the problem could lie in the tuning when at wot with nitrous. Third, I dont think thats too shabby of a gain, Id be happier wiht a sec or so off, but its not bad.

i agree i hate zex ont the dyno i went from 168hp without and 194hp with thats only 26 hp with a 55 shot where did it go.

Was this measured at the wheels or the crank?

150-175 is too much for a wet nitrous setup. You need to use a direct port setup for anything over 100-125 or so...

Those numbers are pretty decent for a 55 shot... you need to spray more!

Do you have a bottle heater? Having the bottle at the right temperature is crucial in getting consistant power every time you use the nitrous. When I had nitrous on my car I didn't have a bottle heater. So when the weather was warm, so was my bottle, and vice versa. The car pulled MUCH harder when the bottle was warm.
