On street tires, in a Gen I RT/10 with the roof OFF, what would be a typical 1/4 mi. time for a 525 RWHP car with a 200 shot of NOS and at what time/gear should the NOS hit?
525 RWHP + 200 Shot -- how fast?

did you ever find out what stroker kit you have? did nathan help with the situation any after the sale?

My situation is weird. It was done by SVSi but I was told by West Coast Vipers (guys working on my car now) that they phoned Ron Sr. over there and Ron mentioned it wasn't exactly one of their kits -- more of a pieced together type deal they did on the car. In the end, I am told it is equivelent to the 600 package that West Coast Vipers puts together, which would make sense considering the horsepower it has.
There were some issues with the Direct Port system so that is being rectified and then it goes off to the dyno next week so I can finally see what the beast is really putting out, with and without NOS.

Jezz,
The problems that your having just ****. I hope Nathan compensated. I would have pissed over the "fuzzy" details of the car. So you are going to just repair the manifold? That's good, good luck with everything.

Jezz,
Yeah, after some discussion, Nathan emailed me and said he and his dad would take care of what we agreed on, which is to fix the gas issue and the cracked manifold. Before taking the car to the shop, the car drove really strong. I would have kept driving it had it not been for the really bad gas smell the same day I got it. Lucky for me I never hit the Nitrous though. Why is that lucky? Well, while the tuners looked for the cause of gas smell, they discovered a crack in the manifold which was causing one of the cylinders to **** air -- so no NOS until that got fixed. After they pulled off the manifold to get the crack welded, they noticed that the direct port NOS injectors were itty bitty tiny... well, except for one, which was really big. This stumped them and they still don't know why this would have been done except it might have been an oversight on the one injector. The setup was only for 75 extra horses I was told, while I thought the car had a 200 shot, but the owner told me it was a 150 shot. Talk about all over the place. So we're not sure why there was a direct port system set up for such a small amount. The car is great and has the fuel system to be a 300 shot, but SVSi put on some really small heads for some reason -- and not sure why the owner thought he had twice what he did. Anyway, the system was found to bean old one after taking it apart and it was recommended that I switch to a newer two fogger non direct port type set up and just use all the existing stuff I have in there, so there's really no major cost in doing this. The explanation was that the more simple you keep it, the less chance of something going wrong, and with a direct port system, you have 10 chances of something going bad. So that is what I will have in about a week. No longer will I have a direct port system (which I think BTR said they didn't like anyway) and will instead have two big NOS shooters. West Coast Vipers will be dynoing it next week starting at a 100 shot and increasing it up to a 200, potentially a 300 shot if all looks good.
After that, I will finally have the beast back and it should be in good working order. One thing that is kinda weak right now is I have these big Brembo race brakes on the front and they squeak at low speed stops (like the last 2 seconds before the car stops at a light or in front of a restaurant.) The car has full on racing pads, so I decided to swap them out for something not so tracked out, but West Coast Vipers said they haven't found any pads that fit it that are not at least what I have on the car. I might post a separate message about this to see if anybody else has found a solution.
The crappy part is now having to wait to get the car back - I'm dying here to drive it again.

525hp + 200 shot = VERY FAST

You'll kill a busa if you can get it to hook up! Good luck with that!

Something about the older roadsters that make them very potent with a healthy dose of giggle gas. They're not the best 1/4 cars from start to finish, but on a roll they are extremely fast!
Have fun and be safe,

Kill a Busa, eh? Wow, don't say that over at the Hayabus forum or you will create another 900 long post thread there. They're breaking out their rocket scientists and claiming about 800+ RWHP is needed to be even with a Busa. Moundir and Gerald are the main guys with the bullseyes on them over there. I am racing a couple Busa guys in 12 days up near Barstow (the place with the train McDonalds.)
