Default Stock Motor, 6 psi of boost, and a 125 wet shot?



Check out my link under my sig for all my motor bolt ons.

I was thinking since the blower and nitrous (small dry shot to cool the intake tract) made 298 rwhp before the blower belt went......Hhat would a 125 wet shot do?

I could right now bolt up and put the wet shot on. However, I want to get an adjustable fuel regulator and a fuel pressure guage....and probably a wide band before I do. I will tune it on a dyno jet dyno with their wide band. I will play with the timing, and fuel pressure....and all that good stuff.

I have another motor so blowing it up won't hurt my feeling...........

I am nuts or what? Do you guys want to see me do this? And if you do.........how much RWHP will it make? I want at least 410 at the rear wheels........What do you guys think?

I dunno SS... that's really pushing the envelope there, LoL. At least it's wet and not dry, so it will be a little safer. But don't forget... a 125 shot on a N/A vehicle is actually quite a bit more under boosted pressures. So you'd be looking at a lot more than 125. Then you also have to worry about fuel fressure and making sure the pumps can handle it (although i think you have that covered.) And then if it puddles up in the upper, then forget about it!

I'd run the car pig rich, take it too the track and do it. I think you could bust out some really good times if you hook.

Boost+nitrous=blown head gasket/melted piston


But still...do it...i wanna see what happens. Then depending on results...i may try it.

Oh I will try it...believe me.......

My time table is this...........

Buy the fuel regulator next week, then I will get the pressure guage around Oct 1st. We will dyno it around the 3rd or 4th and take it to the track on the 6th.

I will be on street tires however. It should be a rocket.......

I would run a 75 shot at most and see what happens. Here's the deal with running N2O and boost. The N2O acts to cool the intake charge even more which will allow you to make more power with the blower and not detonate, as will happen with more boost alone (due to the air being hot). If you do this I would run at least 110 though, you really do not want to detonate, colder plugs and a few degrees of timing retard will help a bit as well. 500 crank hp is what I would consider the safe limit on a stock 5.0 block so you are going to be pushing it. A 50 shot might even get you what you are looking for. Remember to always start low with N2O and work your way up, it's easy to get greedy.

Cool that is what I was thinking too. I am going to run 91 in it.....and start at a 50 shot. I will run the Autolite 23 plugs. The timing right now is at 5 degrees. So it should be interesting. I know it is easy to get greedy......i blew a head gasket already....with a 175 shot.
