Thumbs up THE BIG SHOT FINALLY WORKS!!!

FINALLY!!! I spent about 3.5 hours (and 12 pulls) today at Speedworks in Lewisville on the dyno, trying to get this car running right. I gained another 14 rwhp and 6 rwtq from the offroad X pipe.

Last night I finally got my NOS Big Shot re-installed and went to test it, but it wasn't working right at all (bucking and popping w/ lots of black smoke out the tailpipes). It was doing the same thing at first today too. We even had to call NOS for some tips, and finally we turned up the timing to 10 degrees (from 7), and the problem went right away. The car ran perfectly smoothly after that. We didn't change anything else after we got it running right b/c I need to change the harmonic balancer, but I'm pretty happy with where it's at right now. I also plan to get the MSD Digital ignition and a purge kit(once my bills are paid... IF that ever happens) so I can have the automatic timing retard and 2 stage rev limiter.

The best it made was 396rwhp and 497rwtq. I was hoping for 400rwhp / 500rwtq, but it was after 12 pulls and it was 87degrees outside and almost 50%humidity. It should do that with a little more tuning and better weather.

Well, I'm finally a real believer in wet nitrous, I was about to give up on this thing. I can't wait to try it out at the track!!
