Joe,
It was nice working with you also. We have a lot more in store for this car when it comes back to you.
The car in mention was jetted for a 300bhp shot(motor hp). We made 223 rwhp and 525 rwtq extra. The hp could be down for a few reasons. One is a high lift cam that doesn't work well with nitrous and a few other things that Joe and I are going to address once we get the car back. Our main concern was to get the car back to the owner for the race. We have enough power for what the stock bottom end, fuel system, etc. can take, so there was no need to make things perfect at this time.
The nitrous kit on the car has 2 sets of solenoids that are flow rated for 300bhp per pair. We have 150bhp jets in each set, so we have plenty of extra still. The car also has a Maximiser progressive that will allow the nitrous system to start as low as 15% of the max power and build to 100% power from .3 seconds to 15 seconds. This allows better traction, safety, and adjustabilty for track or road conditions. There are also plenty of other features for fine tuning also. The progressive unit replaces the need for a a multi stage system, as it's all done electronically through a single stage set-up. The set-up uses 1 ea. injector in each smooth tube. Each injector is rated for 200bhp.
What I learned from Joe is that a good tune is essential and Joe delivered this. The other Vipers that we have kits on don't have a piggyback that is tuned properly, or a piggyback computer at all. This is why our hp is not so great on the top end, as those cars are falling off the charts rich up high and are lean initially, so they aren't seeing the massive torque we got on this car either.
I think Joe and I are going to even surprise ourselves in the future, once we have time to collaborate some more and have a complete package.
