Anybody shooting N2O with a superram installed?

I am thinking about a 100 wet shot with the NOS 5151 kit, but am a little worried about puddling in the plenum since it is so large.

Has anyone gone to the billet lid for added security?

Thanks!

 

That billet lid ain't gunna hold up w/ a $hit if you have a nitrous back fire through the intake. If it were me, I wouldn't do it. But to each his own. Good luck.

 

Get a fogger and you won't have to worry about it

 

As in, the NX kit?

 

i wouldn't run a plate system with a superram....you run the risk of a lot of fuel distribution problems from the huge plenum

run a direct port kit

 

Would the NX kit somewhat solve the distribution problem? I have a NX waiting to go on my car but, honestly, i'm a chicken****. I also have a SuperRam and would like to know if the NX kit can be used safely.

 

i have sent my superram through hell and i have had no problems with my lid .

I never had a problem with my NX kit I sprayed from 100-175 on mine. It trouble free..... Just check the plugs after a couple of runs to see if any of the cylinders are going lean...

I can help you on your problem I too have the SuperRam but chose to do a dry kit. If you want pictures or info just ask. Peace!

 

Go to the thread in power-adders called "Dry system for F-bodies". It contains an answer to your question. And your right to worry about puddling in the SuperRam because it was only designed to flow dry air. All the twists and turns allow the fuel to fall out of the injected nitrous/fuel mixture and then KABOOOOM!!!!! I'll say this again to be clear, DO NOT USE A WET SYSTEM WITH THE SUPERRAM (unless it is direct port or some similar design) BECAUSE IT WILL RESULT IN AN EXPLOSIVE INTAKE BACKFIRE AND MOST OFTEN THAN NOT ENGINE DAMAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

By the way the same link I directed you to has a great way of utilizing that 5151 kit from NOS. It will allow you to convert your existing system from wet to dry. All the part numbers are available and I'm willing to work with you to do it. Since you already have most of the equipment it will be under $100. LATER!

 

I've been running the NOS wet kit with my SR and haven't had any problems, I'm only sprayin a 100 shot though. My heads (S/R torquers) are in the process of being removed at the moment in favor of better ones, so I'll be able to tell within a week wheather there's any internal problems

 

I ran mine with a 150wet and a 175wet and never had a problem. Like I was saying earlier.

 

I agree...

 

I've seen that happen before...

 

I say screw it, go for it, let it pop, its just metal.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

"i have sent my superram through hell and i have had no problems with my lid."

It has yet to be substantiated whether or not your car actually runs.

 

My Z has been running sence January and i have tested all my power adders ay WOT and have not yet had any problems.
does your car run
this is a resent photo of me at our local track

 

I think it is funny how it is close to a track and yet so far. You would think that he would show a burnout or launch or something.

 

Oh yeah, I remember that time. We were at the track. Then I beat you. Then Britney Spears showed up and gave me a kiss for winning. What a good day that was! I forgot what time it was that you ran at that local track, though. What was it again? I don't remember because I had already turned off by the time your time was displayed.

 

dued your dreams don't count

 

So you have taken it to the track.
Darcom, I would love to see your car in person. Feel free to email me next time you plan on going to RCR or *cough* Alamo. gillowtex@hotmail.com

 

i usely go to harpers on fridays so you can meet me there but i trade off sometimes i take my Z28 and sometimes my Viper GTS.

 

I havn't been to Harper's yet, but some friends and I are planning to check it out before summer's up. Maybe we'll run into each other. Hopefully you'll be in the Z that night!

 

So what kind of times are you guys getting that run a 383 supper ram with the little red funny button???

 

rocc4u, if only we knew what times they were running, we wouldn't be forced to drive around on the street at night in fear of running into one of these bad boys (except Darcom who has proven little except that he can trailer his car to the strip and push it onto the track and take a picture late at night when nobody else is around.)

 

Remember?!

 

Give the guy a break. All he gets is "What does it run?" The car is real. I live in the same area and it would be stupid to tow it to all the various locations, that I have seen pics of, just to have pictures of it on the street.
If I got hounded by everyone everytime I posted I wouldn't be obliged to tell you anything either.
Darcom put in his 2 cents and you jump down his throat.
I'm sure when everything is running up to par and he feels good about what it runs (if that's the case), he'll let us know. Remember that's alot of tuning under the hood. Maybe it does run like crap, who cares!
I was a little hesitant to tell people my car ran 18s when I first got it.
later

 

Have any of you picked up the new Hot Rod magazine and read about the cover car....hmmmmm....From what I have read on alot of these boards I was under the impression the supper ram was not capable of those times at the track but would be better off for light to light running.

 

I haven't seen the article, but saw the post on the TPI board. 11.7 @ 114 NA and 10.7 on nitrous is very believable. Some of the Corvetteforum guys are running 11.5-low 12's @116-118 N/A with similar combos. The C4's are a little lighter than us F-bodies though. With tuning and traction, 11's are very possible. Traction is the key though, it's tough to find w/ the TQ these combos put out.
The guy in Hot Rod was running slicks, right? You pretty much need slicks with a good SR combo. I have BFG Drag Radials at 20 psi and can spin them for a LONG way when I want to, I do sometimes when I don't want to When I was G-Teching the car (w/ BFG Drag Radials), I went back and looked at my tire marks, 2 out of the 3 runs had marks going well over 100 ft., this is with feathering the throttle TRYING to get traction. But I am just learning how to drive the car and haven't tuned it yet.

 

Yeah he had slicks all right but still he has all stock bottem end. The only thing that keeps it from being on the streets is that he just put a open exhaust on it. Its a 350, and I think his suspension and cam are helping out ALOT also...

Very nice indeed though

Oh Yeah, I think his firebird is pretty light also, Aint much to it.
If you get a chance check out the article.

 

there is a guy locally with a 4th gen vette that is running a 4XX with a SR that is running Mid 11's with a 3.07 Gear (3500 converter). He is running the factory ECM (with tuning of course) & a 700R4. this is a motor car, no bottle. Mind you the car has only 1 seat in it & is pretty light. He has been running this car for some time now & has it completly sorted out.

yep

 

yep

 

yep

 

I am goanna with a blower maybe. if it warps the lid Ill just use some silicone or get another lid

 

Everything looked great on the bottom end and in the lid. Plugs showed no signs of cylinders running lean
