I just finished installing the zex 55 wet shot and tested it this weekend it works great nice pull all the way to redline. I'm going to the track to run the 1/4mile this sunday any advice? I'm going to fill up at the track with 100 octane I will try to post a time slip but its hard to since I don't have a computer I just have my blackberry.

 

= BOOM. just kidding. Im sure the experts are coming to weigh in on your issue.

 

Just double check your fuel lines to ensure there's no leaking.

Don't launch from low RPM's (sub 4,000 RPM) and above all do not for any reason lift off the throttle for any reason other than shifting.

You should be fine, be sure to post slips!

 

I plan on launching around 5,000 rpm and ill make sure to shut off the nitrous before I let off the throttle. I will try to post a time slip like I said I don't have a computer but maybe I can email someone that's nice enough to post them along with some pictures of my setup its pretty clean looking!

 

Reasoning/info. behind this so I know for when I put mine in.

 

Thanks for telling me this so I don't have to waste my money at the track. Also CRH thanks for all your info on the nitrous threads it really helped out on the install and understanding how it works. And I thought the higher octane the better for nitrous use?

 

You will be fine with 93. You should be able to pull high 13's if you can drive.

 

if you are really concerned about something going wrong, i wouldn't say the 100 octane is literally useless, as it will provide some protection against detonation. It is useless for increasing performance however, and if your fuel solenoid fails or something you are probably still going to have problems.

 

In california we only have 91 cat **** here as our highest octane wish I was texas like you! Jk I know I can drive so I'm hoping for mid 13s but will probley gonna get high 13s. I heard that NOS octane booster works the best so ill try that out soon.

 

Ah, suck. I didn't see you were in Cali.

 

yeah cali sucks for any type of emission stuff.....good luck.....(prob already at the track anyway..)

 

I'm hella pissed my dumb azz friend didn't tell me that he wasn't going to the track so I'm go to meet him at 8am he never showed up I called him and he said I thoght I called you last night and told you that It wasn't going on anymore i said WTS I was waiting for you for like an hour lil girl then I hung up

 

let me guess, you ran mid 14s?

 

Harsh but funny lol.

 

Dont waste your money on that crap from NOS. Go to a local performance shop and ask for a can of Torco Accelerant. Stuff is awesome. It can turn 91 gas into 104, (depending on your mixture.) It gives you directions on the can as to how much to add per amount of gas to get a certain octane. My last car was a Saturn Redline which I had a full rebuild and every part imaginable for that engine. I lived in AZ with the shitty 91 gas like you, so my dyno guy turned me on to this Torco stuff. I typically ran a mixture for 97 octane and the car ran BEAUTIFULLY. Its not a placebo effect, it makes a difference. I ran 0 knock at 21lbs of boost. If youre not running any tuning software I dont see any point in creating anything higher than 93 octane. I dont think the computer can adjust for anything higher, so whats the point?
