80 shot GO!

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Dern Humpus

Finally got all the wet kit hooked up and got the bottle filled. I also recieved a WOT switch in the mail so all is good.

here are some pix

My homemade bottle holder, works perfect and only costed my dad a peice of plywood

Tried to capture a "purge" shot but I guess its a little harder to time that I thought without wasting too much nitrous. The purge is located in the classic position between the hood and windshield, you can see the line in one of the pics.

The 80 shot pulled like a champ, I have to say that the mark is probally ready for a new fuel pump and a step up to a 120/150. Thanks to everyone that helped me with their knowledge to get this underway, and thanks for answering my dumb questions. At least I didnt blow anything up. I should have track times this weeked.
Mod list sits at:
NOS wet 80 shot, cheap ebay purge
Exhaust cutout right after the two pipes come together
Removed air resonator
autolite 103's
tranny cooler, that leaks. RTV sealant here we go

Thanks,
Dan

btw,

Nice... when you go to the track make sure to get 1 or 2 baseline NA runs so you know how much the 80 shot helps you. Good luck and have fun...

I have 1 question which has nothing to do with this post. are your headlights really that messed up or is that just the camera

i strongly strongly strongly suggest that you do not use the kit again until you get a new fuel pump. if you have any suspicions about fuel delivery, stay off the juice. other than that, congratulations.

That's not the camera, he needs to polish his headlights.

i have a stock pump in my car with a 150 , fuel pressure doesn't go below 40 psi
but it is in the plans to change it soon

I had a couple baseline runs, a 15.37 @ 93 was my best with a crappy (2.34) 60'. I had a cutout put it since then though.

Your car should be trapping 95. I'd pay attention to the tuneup 1st before proceeding too far on the laughing gas.

What could be holding it back? It has a new fuel filter, air filter and now new plugs. I havent ran it with new plugs, but the old ones looked good except for the sparatic gapping. Some were gapped around .035 and some near .060.
