What do you think would be faster ?
 

I am planning on running a LE3 headed, LE1 HL cam set up this winter. It will be true duals, ported intake, EWP, all mods in sig.

I will be going to LE3 heads because I plan on building a FI stroker motor later and want all the head I can afford while LE's prices/reputation are still great.

Anyways though, that set up aside,

My friends all seem to think me spraying a 100 shot would be faster/easier on the car than that set up.

I kinda see where their coming from, but at the same time, N20 sure puts one hell of a jolt on everything.

Going all motor though, I will be spinning that bitch up at around 6500 RPM's and thats skimping it ... Really it could be spun higher if you wanted, but that would be enough that it will keep it in the rev range.

So comments/opinions ?

If you're willing to spin it up to 6500 go with an LE2 cam instead.

Or take a look at Joe B's setup

10.88 @ 128 with LE2 heads and the LE1.5 cam.

The LE2 and LE1.5 (LE1 N2O cam) are pretty close cams. One is just smaller so you don't have to turn the motor as hard.

My personal oppinion is that NOS is for silly bastards who cant make a car fast enough so they equip "cheater spray" to it and brag about how its so damn fast. I personally like going all motor, i like the feeling of knowing thats raaaaw power and correct tuning that make me as fast as i am. It makes me feel proud :D, but as with anything in life....its all up to you, what you like more, how much money you have, and what kind of time and money do you want to put into this deal. Just remember, theres alot more to making a car go faster than just upping HorsePower

Or it could be they like driving a civilized street car that will do high 10's at the flip of a switch. :think:

Bret, dont worry too much, I will be going with one of your setups ...

I just was curious what everyone thought would be faster.

Javier, I didnt really want to spin ANY more than I have too. I dont want to spin a bearing on a 18K origional mile engine ... So I was actually hoping that I would be shifting a LE1 HL cam with those heads even a little lower without short shifting.

I am much more impressed with something all-motor. And for me, street maners are a notch down on the priority list. I have a truck as my DD. This is more of a fun/project car that gets about 1500 miles a year. Possibly a little more.

I fear the LE2 stuff lol. Its awesome, but it scares me to go blowing it up. I could afford a rebuild if I had too. Just not the kind I want ... So I was shooting more for peak power at/around 5800-6000 and shifting at/around 6300. I would be willing to go to 6500 at the most though.

Thats exactly what people say when they loose to cars with nitrous. :rolleyes:

Re: What do you think would be faster ?
 

do a progressive setup. just depends on how much money you want to get into it. N20 is definately a much cheaper, easier way to go fast compared to FI. when/if i ever want mo powa i'm going to spray just because of its simplicity.
lol... so true.

Re: What do you think would be faster ?
 

Exactly, run whatcha brung ;)

I'd like to bring spray on top of my 355 plz :D

Re: What do you think would be faster ?
 

Hahah I thought about that before I decided on the heads/cam deal. I just figured the money I would have into it, I mind as well go all motor. Seems like more people are impressed by an all-motor set up too for some reason? I respect them both as long as its fast/runs good.

Re: What do you think would be faster ?
 

who cares what others are impressed with. do what you do!
