11.90's goal, nitrous needed?

interwest · 03-09-2009, 11:50 PM

302 (92 GT HO) bored .030 over and fully balanced, hypereutectic pistons, scorpion rocker arms, SFI flexplate, FR valve tappets, FR e-303 camshaft, hardened pushrods, Trickflow Twisted Wedge heads, FR aluminum dual plane intake manifold (port matched), Holley 600 cfm Carb, Mr. Gasket electric fuel pump, Flowtech LT headers, true 2 1/2" dual exhaust w/ Flowmaster 40s, MSD 6AL box blaster coil and wires, Edelbrock gear drive set, aluminum radiator, Ford 9" rear end with 3.89 gears and a spool, disc brakes all the way, on MickeyThompson ET Street Radials 235/65/15 out back and BFG 205/65/15 out front. C4 auto trans.

No power steering and no ac.

Everything is in the car except the rear end and 2 1/2 exhaust (currently on 1 3/4 w/ 2 flows) which I hope to get done in the next two weeks and then take it to get dyno-tuned.

I got a great deal on a NOS wet nitrous kit (100-150 hp), will I need it to get down to sub 11.90s?

im going to say yes. i think your combo will get you low 12's but just for extra measure never hurtz

are you stalled? if not i might look into that before the N20.

Thanks for the reply, been trying to ask this here for a few weeks but had to get my post count up. lol.

Sweet, well the nitrous kit should be here by Friday, maybe Monday. I usually don't care about brand names, but I had a real hard time with NOS, just too many ricers come to mind, but got a deal so, what the hell.

No stall yet. I've been trying to lookup online what exactly a stall does (excuse the noobness, this is my first time building up a car, and just fell in love). Any chance for an explanation?

With the right stall, it should go into the 11's N/A, at least that's what i would be looking for out it.

Nitrous will definetly get there. Even with a high stall converter I don't see that car running 11's N/A. You are hurting in the cam department.

I know the e-303 is the biggest weak link, I should have gotten a more aggressive cam... When I first started finding parts for the build, I told myself this was going to be a mostly street car and wanted a fairly mild cam, but now it's like, lets see how fast I can get this.

well a stall never hurts.

a TFS1 cam is slightly more agressive, and can be had for 75-100 bucks used
