NEX Main Line Kit?

mastershake · April 24th, 2007, 09:12 PM

This kit any good for shavin a couple tenths off? I only race 1/8mile once a month, so I have no need for a $650+ kit. Can the 4.6 handle a 75shot with no mods? (my first experience with Ford V8's, dont know their weaknesses or strengths)

03stanger · April 24th, 2007, 09:45 PM

oh yeah....75 is easy for em...i put a 150 on my 03 gt with gears, and exhaust....tires and clutch are the weakness with nitrous...as long as you stay at or below 400 hp at the motor youll be fine

ujslost · April 24th, 2007, 11:20 PM

with 400 hp at the FW and a 3.73 or 4.10 what should a 4.6 2v run in the 1/4?

Garhfer · April 24th, 2007, 11:44 PM

I would guess high 11's, maybe mid 11's

mastershake · April 25th, 2007, 05:59 AM

Alright then, Im gonna buy it.

03stanger · April 25th, 2007, 06:31 AM

i never ran 1/4 mile..only 1/8......if i would have had a set of 315 drags....i would have hit the 7.90 to 8.0 range...on stock 245 tires i hit a 8.30..spinning solid through 1st and 2nd and spinning hard in 3rd and even scratching 4th

i had 3.55's with a bunch of bolt ons and only got 12.50. i was spinning quiet a bit but not bad enough to shave a second. i would say 12.5-6 in the 1/4 and 7.8 in the 1/8.

ujslost · April 25th, 2007, 08:29 AM

guess that would be a 13.? for me then since i got a vert.

mastershake · May 2nd, 2007, 09:15 PM

I bought the kit, puttin it on next week. The only thing Im concerned about is having to cut the fuel line and using hose clamps on it. The line on the car looks a little bigger than the rubber hose in the kit, so Im wondering if the T-fitting is gonna fit tightly enough. But Im also known to just be paranoid...

If the car were to run a 14.0 stock what would a 75shot prolly put it at? I know a 100shot is usualy about one full second.

you know that you have to have a roll cage to run at the track if you're faster than 13.99 right? cuz you're a vert.

mastershake, I would guess that the 75 shot will get you to low 13's. that is, if you keep traction. I wouldn't recommend launching on nitrous unless you have axle work.

zerofx150 · May 2nd, 2007, 09:48 PM

I just got done doing 410s, CAI, and the NX 4.6plate kit and i got a tuner for the nitrous, i'd hope to be in the 12s

You gotta be shitting me man? I mean dont 03 cobra verts run faster than that stock? Thats the one thing I dont want is a cage.

I shit you not. Yeah it really sucks. they won't even let vert cobras run once on the track unless they have a cage. If i was you, I would do as much modifying as you can before you go to the track, then go and make one really good pass to get yourself a number. then if you want to continue, you're gonna have to get a cage.

mastershake · May 3rd, 2007, 06:51 AM

The kit activates by a push button, so I will start spraying at the 60ft

ujslost · May 3rd, 2007, 08:22 AM

my track is dumbasses so they dont know that either i bet

02steedagt · May 3rd, 2007, 11:10 PM

well then maybe you're good to go. give it a shot. just make sure you don't put the top down at the track.... what they don't know can't hurt them.

MustangMatt96GT · May 3rd, 2007, 11:16 PM

My track always checks for saftey equipement, but I have heard that they sometimes dont care about somethings such as cages. A buddy of mine has a buddy that had a 04 Cobra convt that ran quicker than 13.99 and wasnt given crap until he broke the 11s!

ujslost · May 3rd, 2007, 11:24 PM

yeah our track gets on that ass about seatbelts and breaking into the 11.49

Drgnracin72 · May 4th, 2007, 12:28 AM

if you cant get a 400rhp car into the 11s, you suck nuts at driving. my car has 300rwhp and has run 12.5@110 on street tires. i think itll go 12.2-3 with slicks
