Bottle fed... and laughing all the way!!

Well I finally broke into the 250+ WHP!! And the Tq is nice also.. 260 Tq!!
Still on stock tune, under $2600.00 total mods and just a bit of spray!!
Yep... went WET!! Jetting is 34/18 !! 50% water/meth mix ! and loving it!! Yeah-yeah, I know for the track Nitrous isn't that cool..( unless you have a HUGE Bottle) but for the occasion blast past a Mustang.. or ricer, it sure is a riot!! yes??

A/F ( my reason for going from a dry shot to the wet shot) is actually a bit rich, however well with in the HP range I am putting out, and Id rather be safe than oily!! I pulled a 245/239 with the w/m OFF!! SOOooooo.. it showed the spray LOVES the water/meth!! 239 tq to 260!! And STILL stock TUNE!!

I will be on the streets this Saturday eating a lot of rice!! The only problem is... after 20 minutes.. I'm hungry again!!

Just me..................................

HP on a budget

How much of a cooling effect do you get having the NOS pre intercooler?

you know... I was so excited.. I didnt run the temps!! sorry!! I am sure there was cooling.. I just didnt doc it!!

I am sure there is a LOT more power on a tune!! My plan is to keep that on the back burner till I can do no more with out it!! yes? Hell... 257 HP is a good beginning... I will see how many runs I can get from a 10 lb bottle hopfully this week end. Heerrreee ricer!!

Damn... what is your 60 ft?? I was on a 2.20 60s when I was at 180 WHP!!
I agree, tire spin will dictate when the button is hit!! I think Gainesville is open a bit more.. I will take the car there soon!! I have an open diff.. and the slipperiest tires I have ever found!! So I would be looking for a good MPH and the ET will reflect my crappy 60ft!! yes??

Just got off an UK site.. they are pushing 100 shots on their engines!! One had a fuel sel malfunction and they lost a few pistons... they just stuffed another stock engine in and kept on keeping on!! I still want a 220-230 engine WHP and use the spray as a fun thing!!

Thanks

I had a 2.14 on the 12.74 run thanks to both my sons request of a long rolling smokey burnout.

the 12.16 at 110 was a low 1.7 on slicks

Nice numbers! My 1980 350 vet, is putting about the same thing down, but with 4x the displacement, 2x the cylinders, 1/3 the gas mileage, and 2 less gears, Im sure that thing flies!

Mike you need to come to Orlando Speed world!!!!
I would love to See that thing run!!!! I'm there almost every time they are open and might be renting it out for a day here shortly.
Haven't been able to run my MINI but we're doing some amazing stuff with the GTR. Best pass sunday was 10.80 @130mph not bad there is still more power there but just like the MINI we need more traction!!!

Eddie.. cool!! But it would be Gainesville, just to see what the topend MPH would be.. I have an open diff so the ET's I am sure are going to suck, along with the 60 ft's..lol AllBlackmini is getting his CV Joint changed out, and then we are going to set his cam in and then we will make the track!! Maybe you can come up the this track?? just a thought. Sat nite there was nothing on the street. the cops set right across the street to make sure of that.. so the system is still untested..lol!!
