  • What's goin on?

    Well we finally got down to the track yesterday. It doesn't seem like the nitrous is working the way it's suppose to. The best time Kristen could get was 16.6 on the 1/4, I thought that an 01 v6 camaro was 15's stock? 16.6 seems high while spraying. Is there something I can do to check everything is running ok?

    Well, I would need more info.

    16.6... spraying.....that is not a good time.

    Please provide complete slip #'s, mods, type of kit, amount spraying, bottle psi, outside temp etc.

    Thanks

      Sorry I didn't post back been a little busy. Anyway thought I'd update this post. It's a little difficult for the nitrous kit to work properly when you forget to plug the 60 amp relay into the wire harness [img]tongue.gif[/img] . Works good now we're gonna try to get to the track again and see how she does.

            Well atleast she's not in the 18's like she was the first time. She just needs more practice.

                my god, get down your n/a driving first, then hit the nitrous. it scares me when people who get slow times cause they cant drive put nitrous on their car to compensate for the lack of driving skill.

                id say until you can hit a 15.5 to 15.3 n/a, dont use the nitrous. but thats just me.

                is it auto or manual?

                  It's a manual. I mean it was her first time at the track with the 18 sec and she was only able to get 1 run in, this last time would be her second. Can her car even hit that NA? She has a 2001 v6 but car-stats.com claims a 99 does the 1/4 in 16.1 and that site has been pretty accurate with my cars.

                    her car should be able to hit 16.0 to 15.9 if it's otherwise stock. nitrous should bring it down quite a bit.

                      just watch the wheel spin...depending on what shot shes running if she injects it too soon those babys'll smoke...too late and she could see a slower time...try to get a few runs in or do some practice starts to find that nitrous sweet spot [img]smile.gif[/img]

                          Wheel spin to my surprise was not an issue at all we installed a window switch to kick on at 3k and shut off at 5800. With the window switch we have we also have the option to skip first gear. She's running a 75 shot at the momment. We havn't really hit it except for a sec or 2 for testing but we'll see what happens at the track.

                            As for the N/a times, I have a 2000 v6 virtually the same thing and I got down to 15.2s@90mph paperfilter stock on the original tires.

                            She shoudl be at least high 15s in it.
