Yesterday, I pulled the plugs for inspection, and did a compression test. Did not see any signs of detonation, and compression was still good. Number two cyl was down slightly, but this is a stock short block with plain cast rings, and quite a few passes. I am going to step up the shot slightly from .026 fuel and .027 nitrous jets (fogger). to .027 fuel and .028 nitrous. Running 6 lbs flowing fuel pressure and 1,000 psi nitrous pressure. Will drop my timing back to 23 degrees total from 25, and see what happens. Acording to this online calculator, that should be about 212 hp shot, up from about 197 hp. The hp number are "about", as I am running a one step bigger fuel jet then they recommend, but also one step smaller then NOS recommends. http://www.robietherobot.com/NitrousJetCalculator.htm Next TNT is 8-14-2013, might try to make it, but might have to wait untill 8-23-13. I want to see if I can get the rear suspension working a little better. Getting a lot of rear end "squat".
