CBodnar's 307whp Nitrous Cobalt
I will with time, but the car is gonna be freshly put together and tuned, its a work in progress. I'm giving myself two weeks after break-in to get the tune decent on the street, then strapping it down to see where I am. From there, fine tune, then race gas and start all over again. The car is my DD though, so my play time is limited and race gas is too expensive to run up and down the highway with it.
You will still run 14's. Just shoot for nice traps

its not the best option but there is nothing wrong with a "wet shot through the blower" set up especially at something as low as a 50 shot
100+ you need to start thinking about port injection...

you wanna throw some reasoning behind that post? or a theory at least? otherwise what exactly are you trying to get at?

yeah its called a nitrous backfire. Our intake manifolds are not designed to flow fluids through them. Our manifolds are designed kinda like a U shape, the air gets forced down and then back up through the intake ports. 2. With a wet shot gasoline can pool in the intake, and once the fumes hit a hot valve, boom! Now with a normal plastic intake it usually just breaks the intake, but our cars are different. We have a weak 1. cast iron manifold bolted to a supercharger creating positive pressure. So when you do have a nitrous backfire you have alot more expensive parts to break. It also not cheap to replace the laminova cores inside the intake manifold. Cause in the event of a backfire, those will be the first things to break.
1. aluminum
2. 50 shot with right nozzle= no pooling
so who has this happened to? because me italion joe, the original op, i mean weve had no probs some of us (joe) was spraying for ??? a year or two ???
it highly unlikley for that to ever happen with a .022 fuel jet as long as you only spray at wot...
cause if your just speaking on "what ifs" i dont live my life that way, you'll miss out on too much fun **** like spraying nos on my cobalt

well it might be an acceptable risk for you to take, but dont lead others onto it being even something considered to be good practice. Spaying gasoline through a power adder is never a good idea. Because basically once the gasoline goes through the blower, you are created a compressed air/gasoline mixture, a very lean mixture that will be easily flamable. Im sure its also easier to get a spark inside there than you might think. I am currently polishing a lower intake manifold, take a look at the before picture, i hadnt touched the dremel to this when i took this picture. Just took the manifold off a stock engine...
notice those scrape marks? thats from the lobes on the blower...

Modifications- gm stage 2, airbox mod, 2.8, nos sniper 50 wet shot (little less), cx h/e
*yes, everything else on the car is stock.
*i do NOT have a bottle warmer or pressure gauge.
*when i pulled that number the car was driving for over 3 hours, once i got there with in less than 5min got on the dyno
*bottle was sorta cold due to the fact that the whole time we were driving i had the a/c on and the bottle was in my back seat
*on the last run we heated up the bottle a little bit and were making over 330torque which would mean that if the clutch didn't slip i would have probably made over 330whp
money spent on the car (brand new parts)...
1. gm stg2- $400
2. airbox mod- $19
3. 2.80- $49
4. nos sniper kit(ebay)- $285
5. cx h/e (yes the big one on ebay)- $149
6. ngk 1step colder plugs(autozone)- $5
Grand Total- $907
I am a Nitrous fan myself...there's nothing like it for cheap thrills! And I consider it a 'gateway drug', 'cuz once someone gets the feel for that kind of power, it's just a matter of time before they are looking for a more permanent solution like turbocharging!

I just had to comment on the sudden rise in the curve where the juice was applied. Awesome!

me too...im just eyeing afrs when i spray...
on bottle 11.2 - 11.5
off bottle 10.5 - 11.0
both at 22* no knock ... chalk one up to meth injection
i cant wait to get my vcm suite pro i ordered from ottperformance...then i can do proper data-logging....then the fun begins
