With about the 40th modifcation to my 3 stage nitrous control schemadic it is about 98% done, I started on the wiring diagram today (barely). There is on way I can spary on 3.08's and turn 1/4 mile times worth any thing. I am going to have a mean nasty 383(450hp and 480tq, forged moving parts) made for me while I'm in japan and have the trans and rear end reworked and when I come back I will use the SB in there now for trial by fire learning (and if theres any thing left of it when I drop in the stroker I'll sell it).
It's all for the IROC Z in my sig.
What gears should I pack my 10 bolt with? 3.23's for top speed or 3.42's for power or shock the world by lifting the frount wheels off the ground with 3.73's and an Eaton posi?
I'll be keeping my 255/50/16R's wheels for a while.
I'm going to add a race overhaul kit too the trans, the best one I could find, Heuges(sp?) for $330 with every thing.
And I need to pick a converter.
For 3.23's I think I would need some thing like a 10'' converter with 3200-3400 stall (not to much of a daily driver I think).
And 3.42's I was looking at a 10'' or 11'' around 3000 stall.
I realy don't know what to do for 3.73 gears.
Any ideas would help.
If any one wants to see my little nitrous drawing I'll send it to you, it's a tech schemadic.

 

I don't know, my beaSStie does OK for a 4400 lb car. I run 14.3's@98 NA and 13.0's@105 with a 150 shot. That equate to high 13's NA and middle 12's juiced at sea level.
Considering it's a stock motor with just intake/exhaust and 2500 rpm stall I think that's pretty damn good.
Enough to beat a Z06 at the track last time out!
They don't like getting beat by 4 door sedans don't you know.

mtxpert... what year is your car and your elevation?

 

1996 Impala SS running at Firebird - 1300 ft elevation.
I've ran a 13.17 in Tucson which is 3000 ft. elevation.

I haven't ran my car on juice yet but I can tell you that with 3.73s and a 2400 stall. I have a hard time keeping the power on the ground right now unless I have slicks on. I'm thinking that the 3.42s might be the best choice. I dyno'd 354rwhp on motor. By the way, I'm in Wichita Falls.

Hey bad95z28,
I saw a black 94' Z28, with T-tops ( that wasn't what I would call quiet and was an auto, I'm sure) roll by me (walking in uniform) at the wal-mart buy the mall after 10:00pm, any chance it was you?
You said you haven't ran your car on the juice, but is it installed?
Could we meet up some where this weekend?
This will be my last weekend here IF my orders come in.
About all I know of this aera around here is how to get to the mall and the wal-mart just off base.

 

That was probably me. I have duals dumped under the rear axle and red badges. Shoot me an email: mikep453@yahoo.com I'm kind of busy this weekend but maybe I can get out for a bit. I don't have the juice installed on the car. I'm planning to run a 100 shot or 150 but I'm waiting until I get everything I need. Plus I don't know a whole lot about nitrous yet, so I'm still trying to learn.
