how much spray for 9s

AChotrod · 10-20-2009, 05:18 PM

Well My car runs decent NA 11.6s @119(first time out), and still needs alot of suspension and some weight loss. After that I dont think low 11 high 10s are out of the question. My question is how much spray will I need to run single digits?
Ill be buying an N20outlet kit wich is adjustable up to 50-200 and upgradeable to 400hp. Think that kit with a nice stand alone fuel system with race gas would do it?
Thanks
Mike

If you are saying that high 10s are feasible for your car on motor with more suspension and weight loss correct? With that being said I think a 150 shot would put you right on 9s, 175 max if that doesn't do it. Not to undermine your knowledge but research like crazy on the Nitrous forum for tuning and race gas combos. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. The car went 11.6 on stock shocks and springs all around, only leaving at 5k and spinning to a 1.68 60ft and spun real bad 1-2nd shift. I think alot higher launch and a dead hook will help a ton. Once I get that worked out and pull some more crap out. I think 10s are possible with great weather.
Speedinc will dyno tune the car for spray, and I will have all the little safety stuff done.

what is the most you are willing to spray it with?

AChotrod · 10-20-2009, 07:05 PM

Alot...lol! If the motor pops, I dont care I have another. Just dont want it to happen on the first pass.

150-200 shot should get you there provided you get the suspension and 60ft dialed in.

2002t/a06 · 10-20-2009, 08:13 PM

+1 on the 200 shot if you can get it to dead hook.

kinglt-1 · 10-20-2009, 08:45 PM

It will probably take a 200 shot to get in the 9's! If you want a lil more out of it, add a 4500psi nano setup. Any bigger hit than that and I would go direct port imo...

AChotrod · 10-20-2009, 08:56 PM

Ill hit it w 200 if thats what it takes. I feel as is with a single tire pressure adjustment would gain 1-2ths and drag shocks and lose a few pounds ill be damn close to 10s NA

2002t/a06 · 10-20-2009, 09:58 PM

sounds like a good plan man. Let us know how everything turns out.

AChotrod · 10-20-2009, 10:05 PM

Will do! Hell the fastest M6 is a Lt1 so i have high hopes!

Yea I agree, It just takes alot of power and traction to drop from high 10's to 9's. A 200 should get it done tho!

Thats amazing isn't it? The ol' LT1 holdin it down lol, love it!

djm_e22 · 10-20-2009, 10:31 PM

Achotrod, what did your car dyno? dynojet sae corrected if possible? What have you done so far to lose weight? I'm just trying to see if my car with my m6 is possible to hit 11.7's. Thanks.

AChotrod · 10-21-2009, 12:06 AM

Dont have much for weight loss, back seats,AC, spare, road race k-member thats about it
Heres my NA dyno with S60 rear and 35 spline true trac, and street twin clutch wich is 20# heavier than a single.

slowss02 · 10-21-2009, 03:22 AM

id say 225-250 to get into the 9s.. and same weigh reduction and suspension,, getting the car to low 10s is not that hard, but once you are trying to get into the 9s is a different story...

It takes a hell of alot more than you guys think to make a car run 9's. It's not near as simple as spraying a 200 shot on any 11 sec. car to do it. Especially a 6 speed. How many of the guys giving advice have ran 9's? Ok, how about 9's with a 6 speed? Everything is easy on paper, it's when you actually get it to the track when reality sets in.

Put an auto with a decent converter in it and with a 200 shot I'll bet it still wouldn't run 9's.

This is what I am thinking. I have minimal knowledge but I know turning a 10 sec car into a 9 seccond car is very hard! 200 shot should do it but you will be fighting for traction the whole time.

No one said a 200 shot would put the car in the 9's with the car's current setup. Although with full Suspension, Weight reduction, and Traction, as the op stated, it should be attainable.

vicouSS00 · 10-21-2009, 12:37 PM

What about with my setup? Fully built 408 iron block, moser 9 inch, built 6 speed, and a 150 or 200 shot) Does anybody think that with my setup that i am capable of making mine a 9 second car? On the to do list i have some suspension parts to get first and a little weight reduction.. and i just put some fresh MT ET streets on. BTW i have yet to get my car to the track to get any kind of numbers yet i have been awaiting some tires but i think i should easily be a high 10 sec car on motor. What do yall think?

Larry from LS1 Speed has gone 10.60s with an auto and an LE2 setup like the OP. I'm sure a 200 shot would knock off the .6 needed.
