Since I have been off work I have had lot's of time to think about why my car didn't pick up more than a 100 hp at the dyno pull and why I didn't pick up much at the track when switching from 100 to 180 shot.
So....... I kept thinking of why. http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/images/smilies/017.gif I knew it had to be a nitrous problem but where? I had enough pressure.
Then the light bulb came on. http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/images/smilies/115.gif I remember seeing a screen in the nitrous line when I assembled it. Sure enough, the screen was blocked as in no light could been seen, as in I couldn't blow through it, plugged!.
I spent about a half hour cleaning it and it blows air which means it should deliver nitrous now.
BTW, I hate nitrous but have to keep up with you guys. http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/images/smilies/Kneel.gif

Those kind of little problems are such a PITB and keep me up at night. I'm glad you got your problem figured out, now it's time to get that 8 second slip!

Brian

:hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray: Right on Jim, that had to be the problem. Hope your suspension work can hold on for deal life now.:D

Dirty Nitrous?
How'd that happen??

Why would you hate Nitrous? It's an amazing chemical supercharger.
Fuel + Nitrous is a love affair. Add a real supercharger and look out!!!

He hated nitrous because he was hitting the button and nothing was happening well see what he says about it now.:D

I can imagine that's definitely a frustrating issue. On the good side, it was an easy fix.

My guess as to why it was dirty could be a couple of things....when he filled up, there was crap in the filling station tank and it was picked up. That means they need a new filter(or a filter period), need to clean it out when it's empty regularly. OR, maybe the nitrous lines had debris in them from the factory.

Good find!:thumbsup:

Jim,

You are going to have a huge $hit eating grin on your face if you get the Headhunter to hook up with that 180 shot.:yes::D

Heck the 100 shot couldn't have been working right either. That thing had to have been richening up and nearly killing any benefit it was having with the fuel enrichment being much more than the Nitrous shot.

Jim, 8's easy buddy. Hope weather is good next weekend.

One reason I also knew something was up was on the video. At one of my 100 shot runs it I could see it was rich from the hit off the line to about 300'. Being new to this nitrous thing, I just assumed that was all I could get out of it but now I know better. Need a gear swap this winter. Anybody need a set of 4.57 pro gears for a 9"? Only 15 passes or so.
Looks like the weather is suppose to be good for next weekend. I will be there on Sat. and Sun.

I'll be there Fri-Sat.

I'd be there on Friday as well but don't trust them to prep the track well enough.

On a side note..... You aren't working this weekend Darryl? I saw the boss put her foot down and was basically demanding overtime for the weekend and a plan to be a 350 by Tuesday morning. I sure hate going back to work. :(
