  • reached a milestone

    Well last night I hooked up bottle number 50 to my car.. 50 bottles in 1 year and 10 months of spraying.. My junkyard motor is holding up fine.. I have been spraying the 125 shot since april now.. I have had 3 backfires.. All of them have been from missing gears.. 3rd gear to be specific.. I spray a wet shot through my maf and am still on my stock maf with 120,000 miles on it..

    Wow our engines can take a lot more than people think. If you keep it tuned reasonably they will keep on chugging.

    Any Idea how many miles are on the junk yard motor?

          Its about 45,000 miles now.. Our 3.8's are pretty beefy.. The only safty feture I have is a Walbro 255 pump that puts my A/F in the 10's.. As long as you have enough fuel its safe...

            90,000+ miles here.

            Ungodly amounts of nitrous and bottles through my engine.

            Each time I have had a wet kit backfire I affected the MAF and sometimes I realized it... sometimes I did not.

            You may want to see if the little wire has been affected.

            Our engines are quiet stong [img]smile.gif[/img]

            100 shot here :D

                    My best pass so far has been a 14.1 @99mph on the 75shot with a 2.2 60' and not spraying in 1st gear.. I ran a 14.2@102 on the 90 shot with a even better 2.3 60' and not spraying in first.. The one time I hooked at the track in 2nd gear on the 90 shot I blew my rear end.. The only time I sprayed the 125 at the track was when I shifed into 4th gear and decided to spray it in 4th to see what kind of mph I would get.. I ran a 14.7@97mph .. Not bad for spraying it in only 4th gear..

                            simma down na. i think its more that BLLDOGG was confused on how a car with both boost and juice could still not be in at least the low 13's.
