Be safe with it stang46sc and you'll be fine

 

I'm sure rear QA1s alone would help quite a bit. The Roush suspension is going to hurt your 60' times due to its added stiffness. But then again, if you're going all out drag...maybe it's time to take other measures suspension-wise?

 

Adding a highly volitile combustable gas to an engine not specifically designed for the stresses and heat generated by a 100 HP boost???> Ummm, yeah that's safe, have at it!

KA-POW!!

Please videotape it???


LOL, just being a non-searching, wise @ssed vermin....I really don't know.

hehehe







I just put a down-payment on a life !!! WOOHOO!!

 

what is a 100 shot equivalent to in boost? 8#-10# lower? I know nitrous and changing the lower pulleys out are pretty similar internally on the motor. nitrous may keep the motor cooler which may help right? But with both aplications your upping the pressure inside and heating it up a bit. As for doing a pulley and nitrous, some trucks handle it. But I think it goes back to the tune on the chip.
Sorry I couldnt help that much, im kinda new to changing the pulleys out and haven't even messed with nitrous yet, so im with ya man. good luck with what ya do, Shane

 

Thanks for the replies shane and rob , I had asked the question about what nitrous=boost, and no one could answer it.

I want the nitrous to equal about what i would get IF I went with a 6-8#pulley

Im not a newbie to going fast safely, Just wanted some reasonable advice to consider

 

My apologies stang46sc, I thought I made it fairly clear that my answer was of the humorous nature and that I did not know. I don't recall implying that you were a "newbie" though, i'll just have to check my post again.

BTW, how do you bold out text to try and make someone feel insignificant?

 

nitrous is not like boost man....... it's not near as safe in the application you're using it for, my suggestion, get a 6-8lb lower, but BEFORE this buy a jlp super or POWERCOOLER........ cold boost is safer than hot boost which is safer than nitrous( in your application), now professionally tuned on a dyno ($$$$) that nitrous kit woudl probably do ok, but i would go all out ice cold boost!!! ( that's where i'm headed soon !)

 

Please tell me how a supercooler with a 6 or 8# lower is safer then a 50-75 shot of juice with a 4# pulley?

Nitrous is less volitile to detonation since its a much cooler form of power. The air temp charge entering the engine is very cool. The Lightning has a very good fuel system. I hear more of engines blowing with 6# lowers then i do with 4# and 50-75 shot of juice,

 

a #6-#8 is MUCH more harmful on a stock block compared to a 100 shot. the nitrous is a COLD charge going into the supercharger. which does a great job of sealing everything and causes the supercharger to work much more efficiently. more boost creates more heat in the engine and more stress on the rods, inturnals...etc. i would feel better about running a #4 and a 75 shot over a #8 by itself anyday.

Nothing is as cold as nitrous, they couldn't make a power cooler big enough to even come close to the freeze of nitrous. You need about 20 more years experience with race cars son.

 

Badkhama, I didnt mean to come off rude. I was just wanting to get some good opinions to think about. Last thing i want to hear is about how im gonna blow it up. I get that all day long from my wife. Theres no harm done bro.

This is starting to get good now. I was starting to consider dropping the shot to a 50 to 75 just cause i want a little longivity out of the truck.

Ive had blower cars for a while now, and i just think that its safer to add spray than adding more boost. Superchargers are basically a heat pump. So instead of adding more boost(heat), why not add nitrous? Nitorous will counteract the heat and give good power. I dont see any reason why it wont handle 100 shot .

 

anybody got some places to hide the bottle on a L?

 

i agree

 

ya got a hard cover or a toneau cover?
if so... in the back of the bed. That would be hidden. Or in the cab I guess if tya wanna behind the seat where the console is... otherwise we are outa spaces aren't we?
any other ideas? just my $0.02 Shane

 

so if you can run a 4# and a 75 shot or like Rob, what is it 4,5# boost and 65 shot, then why couldnt you run no extra boost and a 100 shot? If fairly safe to assume that these motors can handle around 500 flywheel hp before the rods go. So why does it matter how you get it as long as you have a good tune? It seem like the trucks are breaking the rods on high mph runs. So if you keep it below 110 mph or so and lower shift points to 5250 and move the limiter to 6000, and never spray below 3000 then i dont see anything wrong.
