You can see pics of the car in his sig here......http://www.cofba.com/ ....
just look for "COFBA-Pres"......

 

I also run 7.30's in the 1/8 and 1140's in the 1/4 and thats on the stock rear also but my 7.37 is also only 94mph.And thats with a 1.60 60' So yes it very possible!!

 

G22Lvr, if you want to NOS kit shoot me an e-mail and we'll make arrangements.

I'm all over the Nitrous....where is Engelhard? How far are you from Charlotte?

 

Engelhard is in eastern NC, about 6 hrs from Charlotte. We can work something out, either I ship it to you or we could meet somewhere, let me know.

Guys, I have to add and not picking on the person I used the quote of but it is not the peak numbers, actually it has very little to do with the actual numbers, it is how you use those numbers.
The big RWHP numbers are only good for Dyno sessions, but being able to put the 300RWHP to the ground properly is what makes ET. BJ's car is probably lighter than most which helps out ALOT. And 'tuning' the car to what it is helps alot too. IT does not take some wild combo to go quick/fast, it takes a thought out approach.

Example, my LT4 set up and Russ's Bolt On car, we run the same ET/MPH why? He is a tad bit lighter than I am and he knows how to make his car go. And he is several RWHP less than mine but he can run door to door with me. OR HE USED TO......

Speaking of Russ, I will fwd him this thread and let him comment on what he is up to.........

And surely MORE Performance and other shops know what these cars (LT1s) and the LS1s can do just in bolt on form with the right bolt ons.....sure wish I knew what I know now...the BO game would be alot of fun.

 

I believe you every bit of the way, BJ. My car went 7.14 at 98.8 mph on a 1.56 60 ft. THIS IS ALSO BOLT ONS WITH NITROUS. I went 11.27 at 119 at Commerce...hitting the rev limiter in 4th gear for 200 feet. Coulda, woulda, shoulda been 10's with a3.73 or a 28 in tall tire. Put in the 150 shot and yank some weight out, and that sumbitch will be in the 10s.

BJ, my car is currently apart still. Phil at Advanced Induction has my heads, gonna put them on a 355 and spray the **** outta it and see what kind of numbers i can put up!

 

If you can meet me somewhere, that would be the best way for me....I can send you a deposit or something. I sent you mail about this, also....

 

I am calling bs on your friend. Somebody is lying to you. You said he ran an 11.4 on the bottle right? That is with the blower too? I have an ATI waiting to be installed on my LT1 and if it doesn't make at least 420 hp on an 8lb pulley, I will be dissappointed and surprised. A simple 75 shot would obliterate 475hp and might bust 500hp with the way these n2o kits work. So basically if he has 10lbs of boost+175 shot he would have close to 550 if not more. Oh yeah, and a blowed up motor

Rockafella, you said this: "I have no idea how much power my car makes but I'm guessing it's a little more than your average bolt-on LT1. I trap around 108-109 in the 1/4 in good air and that's with the usual 1.7 60'... On the 100shot my car also picks up pretty good by gaining at least a 10 in the 60' and then 10 mph in the 1/4. I'm really anxious to try out the 150 where I've seen people gain 10mph in the 1/8!!!"

Your car already picks up 10 mph in the 1/8 on the 100 shot right? What did you mean?

I think it is possible to do what you have done so I will not call bs. Using my car(LT1) as a reference it has headers and exhaust, a Moroso CAI, CSI pump and a 160 thermo. Whoopty doo. It runs the times in my sig. It runs 90mph and 115mph in the 1/8 and 1/4 respectively. I would suspect my mph would increase in the 1/8 if I could hook it off the line but I run street tires so I have to wait until I am at the end of first. If I add some roller rockers, moved the n2o closer to the intake, did some tuning and put slicks on, I bet my mph would be the same. I don't have the gears to launch like you do though so my et would be too high. So I can believe your claim.

Anyway, nice car man. Keep up the speed.

 

BJ heard the motor bit the dust. Hate to hear it, but now you can prepair it for some serious power.

 

Sorry, man, but the proof is in the timeslips and dyno sheets....the car is laying down somewhere in the 475 RWHP range sprayed, and DOES turn 11.4...like I said, the proof is in the timeslip and the dyno sheet. IF you don't believe me, he is the president of COFBA, and he'll gladly show you the proof in the pudding. I know everyone thinks the East COast is the HP mecca and all, but there are some SERIOUS HP monsters in Texas and Oklahoma. I can count on one hand how many HONEST 450+ HP cars I've seen in the Charlotte area in the last year. In the last 6 months before I left Oklahoma, when I really started to get into the street racing and modding, there were more than a dozen in COFBA alone. Everyone thinks More Performance is the shiznit around here, and for the area, it is satisfactory, but not anywhere the same quality or progressiveness as a number of the Midwest shops.
I'm not trying to start a flame war, just stating what I have observed in my year and some change in NC.

 

Well, I did think those times were good I mean 11.4 but now that I see what the dyno #'s are you have room for improvement somewhere mine only dynoed a shade over 400rwhp and I ran 11.4's and that is a full body T/A with everything on it including the spare tire and jack. Now im not saying you didn't run those times but if you have 475rwhp I would expect faster times wouldn't you?

 

Like my earlier post stated, it isn't my car, but the president of my old club's car. His name is Todd D'Amico. There were some fuel management issues he was working with when I was still there. I would agree that there is probably still room for improvement. I'm not sure what he has planned, but his car is full-bodied and has all the accessories, also, so slimming down on the weight would probably help considerably. But, like I said, it isn't my car. It IS the car I am modeling mine after, that's all. Mine will be lightened everywhere possible, though, because I don't need all the extra junk. Good luck with yours.

 

I didn't say the hp numbers were wrong, I just believe the shot of gas and boost ratings have got to be off. Most cars I know of will put down at the wheels what size jets they have in. For example, 300 rwhp + 100 shot of gas =400rwhp. I am just going to say that the kit only gives it 150hp. That means that the motor on boost alone is only making 325hp. That is just sad for 10lbs of boost. Whatever though, it isn't my car.

Well take it easy. I'm out.

 

yes, I see well the weight is a big issue for sure I would also like too lose some weight on mine also.But im not going to strip my car down,but at the same time our a-4's seem to be weak when you get in the 400rwhp range so losing some weight would sure help in that area.
