So I had a little money race I needed to take care of, against a modded Syclone...anyway we threw on my buddies NX Wet kit in about a hour or so...and headed to the local 1/4 mile...Did a couple highway test pulls w/ the 75 shot n2o (41 maybe?) and fuel jets, felt good, ran horribly rich though...so we changed the n2o jet only to the 100 shot (52 i think it was) and kept the fuel jet as is, and went down the track. STILL ran off the scales rich, but I ran 12.6 @ 113 w/ a passenger and a bit of a delayed 3-4 shift (costing me I'm sure .3) anyway...the motor took it like a champ, no knock until 5th then just a tad (under 20 counts) even w/ 33 deg of ignition on the STOCK PLUGS. Note: I was running 100 oct fuel
I was impressed and have decided to keep the kit and get some colder plugs and tune for a 125 shot.
In short I'm pretty impressed w/ a motor that can take 100ish shot w/ 11.5:1 compression and still running the stock plugs. I know it might sound like we were really taking a chance but given where the A/F was and that we got no knock through 8K in 5th w/ the 75 shot we felt it would be fine.
you'd hear about it, if/when they come back and post about it, they haven't answered a few questions we already asked.... so we're waitin just the same.
? Looking at your speeds in the rpms, I decided to go try it out. It's totally wrong... There's something wrong with your ratios there. Is it modded or stock type r tranny?
the details will always getcha.....the car is away getting painted right now, and once that's done we'll be tending to a real install of the system and then a tune..
Honestly I don't see it being high risk...there's more than enough fuel, I'll run colder plugs, I'll have 4 egt probes/monitors to make sure everything is nice, and Kpro to trim the fuel per cyl.

so you have one egt sensor in each exhaust manifold runner? how do you install them, drill holes and weld some bungs on? how do you moniter them, all on kpro or individual gauges?
ok i just skimmed over the post and im kinda confused... this guy is bragging about having stock everything but then it came up that he had different gear ratios and he has some insane time just because of a 100 shot... is this right?
that time is kinda insane to me... ive seen 400 hp tt supras with a slower time... hmmmmm... im not super car guy tho so flame away at this if u want
anyway i think we need to clerify one of the major BAD aspects of being ricey... and that is having a car with a fake ass body kit that wont last half a year before flying off on the highway and additionally having a badly coordinated and tuned engine that wont last even as long as the shitty body kit...
anyway in conclusion dont complain about this post having no substance when the guy is no longer responding

lol, i'll say it has no substance, even with the last line :laughing:
anywho, just everyone realize that you're here for fun and to learn and stuff, and no one get their undies too far up their ass, and we'll all be just fine

Sure but that can be said for anything. I really don't think we were "pushing" any sort of evelope with the setup we ran. I mean seriously I was probibly around a 11:1 A/F ratio or richer. The only problem I could see with a 125 on a wet kit would be the last cyl. not getting enough fuel. But that is why I'm setting up the 4 egt monitoring system. But I would say we were running a very minimal risk @ the track...

I think you'll be fine on the stock plugs, I run a CTR here in the U.K. with JRSC 9lbs boost and 50 shot nos no probs (we have our own dyno) made 340 bhp Saturday and going back to the strip next Saturday. Awesome time btw
