You run a 100 hp wet shot and that little blower hasnt blown apart yet? I didn't think the M62 could handle that much with a wet shot.

Yup, probably going to try 125 next sunday @ the track. Not to sure how it will handle the 125 but if engine goes it would be good reason to finish series 2 and drop it in.
I really do not see a problem with it taking the 125 it takes 100 great. In total I have probably went through app 4 bottles with the 100 shot, that is alot of passes.

Ive heard these claims too. the only thing stopping me is the tranny

sc3800fiero what wet kit are you running?

Zex #82021

Wow I was cleaning out my email inbox and found I had never clicked on the email notification for this thread. SO to bring up a month old post and answer the question.

The reasoning I was told was because of the intercooling effect the nitrous would have on the charge. I have the Zex system too and I figured the supercharger would stack a lot of nitrous in the intake and it would result (like you say) in a 100 shot being 150 or such. When I brought this up to Zex they went about explaining how it would be 10-15 from the intercooling effect. The thought stayed in my mind and IIRC I emailed Holley and got a similar response. This was years ago though. I'm VERY sure of the response from Zex though, I probably would have never purchased it had they told me 50-60% over.

Adding a supercharger generally raises the VE to over 100%. Guesstimate 110%. Thats maybe 30% higher, add in the intercooling effect and I can see where the 50-60% comes from.

But I'm willing to bet the rating is based on 100% VE. So lets say 20% of the volume of gas going in is nitrous. Stuffing it with 110% would only mean 22% of the total volume is nitrous. That would be 10% over the rated shot. Add in the intercooling effect and I can see where 10-15hp comes from.

So I've effectively debated myself on this issue. I really don't know.

Someone with a beefed up tranny needs to add nitrous to thier car and get it dynoed before they tear down the motort and stroke it out. anyone here qualify?

hahaha..err, I'm sure whoever that is would but I think they're scared that if they throw a rod they'll end up buying a new head and block, which would suck...just a thought though.

I just threw it on my car today: http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...=334065#334065
