I have a very similar setup to you except a bigger cam and better intake but with less cubes. we put down similar numbers....

I have had similar problems with stallled autos. How is your driving? Do you have a shift light? Get a harlan shift light.

Wes... get you some nitrous man. Nobody has to know. Put the bottle in the rear spare tire compartment, take the stickers off the noids, and use black electrical tape to hide the braided wires.


The car is a different beast on the bottle my friend. Its like getting rear-ended by a freight train. Seriously man, get you a little dry shot nozzle kit. You can thank me later.


Your answer lies here my friend.

Have you ridden in a nitrous car before? It is a serious rush.

Too lazy to read the thread...

Check out the AZPS03 cam. Its big, but makes good power, and is driveable for the streets. Might want to check PTV clearence. Also, do you have gears? 4.10s work great with the cam. GTABurnout on here and some of the other AZ forums runs that cam with 3.42 gears, and in crappy Tucson DA ran a pretty decent time. I think he was even DDing it for a while.

Holy Shiat!

dunno if I'd have PTV issues though... with milled heads and all... I have dished pistons, but I'm not mechanically inclined enough to PROPERLY check PTV Clearance... guess I'll wait till I scrub up enough cash to have a shop do it for me...

no... I haven't ever ridden in an N20 car before. But I've ridden in 700+ rwhp cars. My whole thinking is, I like to have the power there ALL the time. It would be a paint to have to go fill up the bottle. Not to mention, I really don't trust myself with N20. I tend to get a little trigger happy when caught in the moment sometime

Its not hard to check. If you like the Tsunami cam then call TSP and talk to them about it. They can instruct you on checking PTV and give you more info about the cam.

Suit yourself.... Filling up the bottle is no big deal. Just get a 15#er and it will last for a while..... I don't know what you mean by trigger happy, but all you do is arm it and go. The saftey stuff (w/o throttle, window switch, ext....) controls everything else.


anyhow, to each his own I guess.

guess I've watched one too many Fast and Furious movies and was under the impression that you gotta hit a switch or button and know when to turn it off at the right time lol...

don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against any of you nitrous guys. It's just something I'd rather spend my money elsewhere on. Eventually, I probably wanna do a whole new build like a 402 or something with some FI

but that's many years down the road... hell I'm still in school. For at least another 4 weeks anyways. Then my college ejumication will be complete!

nvm was bored and googled lol

"Actualy that one is a 236/236 .615/.602 111+2 LSA, what it requires is degreing on install (for no PTV surprizes). It pulls harder on top and likes (requires) more flow
14* overlap (nasty lope), abit less trq below 3500 than El Toro, but more in upper rpms. Trq curve is just as flat as its little brother. Good week end strip cam and it likes 100>150 shots of gogo juice" - from pred-z

he could dd the car but doesn't, he has like 5 cars/trucks. that car made 407 to the ground with said cam,my old headers/ory and a magnaflow cat back. everything else stock! I was there at the dyno day.

wes I'll have to admit, when jason first brought the car down here I drove it and wasn't very impressed. after the cam swap though it got up and moved! he wont listen to me but he needs a fricken stall in that thing. one of these days I'll make it up there, get tuned.

forget the all motor junk, if your going to change cams get boost!!

yea... I think I'd do A LOT better from a dig... my car goes nuts then. But the freeway and already up and going is a different story. You just don't feel the pull like you would at lower speeds... course, I guess that's just about the same with any setup. Cept turbo of course..
