Went from low 13's to mid 11's....with 7psi

Once my Jeep returns from surgery....well let's just say 11's are old news

I have seen your STR-8 on youtube, simply sick!

I run mid 12's now, I hope this will push me to high 11's. Also have my nitrous already installed (never spraid at the track, my times are all motor and the normal boltons) and next spring it will be dyno tunes so I can use it and see mid 11's.

EASY 11's after the blower!!!

I wouldn't do anymore than a 50 shot on the stock bottom end

That was what I was doing, I talked to PSI Motorsports (who I want to tune it) and he said 50-75 with the blower. I was going to get a 30 and 40 shot jets too(I have a 50 jet already) with at least 3 different fuel jets for each nitrous jet so it can be fine tuned. I know alot about N/A and N2O but havent done nitrous with FI. My kit is tuned for flywheel gains on NA (like most kits out there) and PSI said with FI and nitrous the gains will be at the wheels. My goal with N2O is 450-460 rwhp and hopefully 440ish rwtq.

You'll have 450 or more with just the Vortech HO
Edit: nevermind, remembered your not going HO

there is an easier way I just did with my Whipple install. Buy about 5 feet of 5/16" ID hose. Slide the hose in your shop vac and duct tape the connection. Attach the other end to the drain spigot and open the drain turn on the shop vac. Use the shop vac and remove all the coolant from the resovoir, then remove the top house from the resovoir, slide the 5/16" hose in the stock hose with the shop vac on. Your still gonna get some coolant spill on the floor but not much.

Creative idea nem, but I think I will go with the plug on the radiator.

Man I just ordered a crank pulley installation bolt from Brenspeed, $33! I had to up the shipping to make sure I have it by Fri. Shipping was $25 on a dinky bolt. No mater, getting blown always cost money right.

Thats what Im talking about. The connection to the radiator spigot is 5/16". If your referring to the white 19mm nut, that is the shutoff for the spigot.

I think the base brenspeed kit would net him 400-420rwhp depending on where he is at stock.

Redrocket06 · November 11th, 2009, 07:13 PM

I'm not too worried about the rwhp I will make as far as dyno stuff goes, I am very interested in what I will be able to do at the track. In excellent weather I run 12.6-12.5's and in hot muggy weather I am 12.8's. I would love to see a second cut out of my times. Should be doable with a said 100+ at the wheels. Oh, and I will have a set of underdrive pulleys and a JLT CAI up for sale soon. hint hint.

Me having fun last year:
Just a 12.71 on this run
