lmao, kinda like this dragboat racing habbit. allways broke and look like shit from staying up late nights working on the boat and having to many beers, and allways jonesing for your next raceing fix!:knockout:, cool story.btwIf for no other reason than I have seen friends addicted like they were main lining herion and can't kick it. .
ron hemmels i have had beers with that guy at the local bar in lancaster he as a cool guy a old girl friend on mine her dad an ron were HAM radio buddys out at rons place in fraizer park it was sad to hear he passed sorry just had to chim in when i heard his name i was just over there at mikes transissionsThis like those stone stock wrecking yard 5.3 making 1200 HP you see on You Tube type question.
Back in the day when about the only person missing with the stuff was Dale Armstong in his "Canuck" Chevy II running out of Ron Hemmels 10,000RPM Speed Shop long before Mike Thermos knew what the stuff was outside of a dentist's office.
A friend had one of those gawd awful POS 75 Mustang II Cobras with a 122 HP 302 SBF in it. He was going to drop a stroked 351 Cleveland in the pile with a T ram and two N2O plates pushing about 150 each. He thinks he is Dyno Don.
So why not have some fun with it before we pull the SBF. So on goes a plate it along with a 351 W Marine cam I had laying around,(basically, the same as the first 5.0 HO cam) and off we go to Lions. 5 runs and the C4 transmissions tounge is hanging out, but the engine is fine.
So he has this beefed C6 that he was going to use behind the Cleveland, so in it goes. Back to Lions the next weekend, and 6 runs the rearend takes a dive. WE ARE TRYING TO BLOW UP THE ENGINE HERE!!!!
So in goes a Detroit locker he has planned, and we try again. 6 runs later, the crank broke hitting second.
Heres the kicker. He spends 6 months getting the Cleveland in it and setup, and on the very first run, getting ready to hit 3rd at 8500, it splits a cylinder wall and it unloads. Blows so bad it literally blows the pan wide open and every drop of water and oil comes out. His rear tires hit it at about 110-120, car goes sideways and starts barrel rolling down track.
When it was all over, he saved one carb, the distributer, and the rear end pumpkin. Everything else was total loss including the trans, rear end housing and axles. Onto a flat bed and off to the scrap yard.
So to answer question Sammy, it all depends.
I never cared for the stuff, and never ran it, never will. If for no other reason than I have seen friends addicted like they were main lining herion and can't kick it. I like my power adders anytime, ALL THE TIME.
So I have the same ignition and nitrous set up as you. So you pull 10degrees out with a 250shot? What size Nos and fuel jets do you run and what do you set your flowing fuel PSI @?You can retard the timing up to 10 degrees with the digital 6. That's what I use with an Edlebrock 250 shot and I use a Holley red just for the nitrous. I only run the nitrous for 2 to 3 seconds in 1320
Mike doesnt the digital 6 have a built in retard function? 150-200hp id run a pair of plates at that level no need for multiport.holley black wld be pushing it for motor n nos, i always ran a seperate holley black for the nitrous only.last setup i ran was 2stage 500hp total and i cld maintain 9-10psi using a holley blk on nitrous alone while flowing over a bowl
Lol, same here my friendTrevor, right now I have 28 - 20 jets @ 6 1/4 flowing pressure. Still messing with pressure. And yes, pull 2 degrees for every 50 hp. I said that I run the N20 for 2 to 3 seconds in 1320. If we pair up on the river you can bet it's on at the hit!
Just keep in mind that there are two types of nitrous users: Those who have blown-up stuff and those who will.
that being said, I love the stuff.

Its a crutch. Gearhead crack.
have you ever tried BLOWN METH? you want too? Follow me.it's both of those, no arguing there :shock:
I ran nitrous for a decade in 3 different boats and motors ranging from 150-500hp shots never hurt nothingJust keep in mind that there are two types of nitrous users: Those who have blown-up stuff and those who will.
