Is my combo wrong?

spike · 08-17-2001, 09:48 AM

My times at the track are not what I expected when using the bottle.When I bought the NOS kit I was told I would get about 1 sec drop in ET.I'm only seeing a 6 tenths drop.If anyone can see a problem with the combo in my profile then let me know. Any help would be appreciated.Trick Flow heads are next on the list when funds allow.

Dropping 6 tenths in the 1/8 mile seems good to me. I think a full second would be for the 1/4 mile....

Might need a larger fuel pump. Is it running lean?

0.6 second drop in the 8th is pretty big...

I guess that would be 1/4 mile. I didn't think of that.No it's not running lean yet.But i'm going to change the NOS pills for 125 shot.My fuel pump should be good for 450hp+ right.Does anyone know roughly how much stage 2 trickflow heads would produce as far as horsepower and/or further drop in et.

For reference my car with a 150 shot drops from a best of 8.9 to a best of 7.9. So your .6 doesn't seem bad to me either. Now drop the 150 pills in there and see what it will really do.

Are you sure if the reason you are lacking that supposed 4 tenths of a sec isn't due to driving skill?

How many lbs of tire pressure you running?

I'm not saying I cant improve my driving skills but I've been going to the track for 3 years now in 3 different mustangs and i think im doing ok in that department.My tire pressure is 10psi.
