Well the other night i went out and did a little street racing. I raced a friend of a friend with a Nissan SE type R 6-speed. He has the usual bolt ons and N2O. Not exactly sure how much though. Well we raced 4 times wit hthe same results. I totaly kill him off the line all the way to 80mph where i hit 3rd gear. Then he comes flying past me till i get my rpms back up in the 5k range. Then from 100-130 i start to catch back up to him. From what he was saying i think he runs low 13s at 108 in the 1/4. I didnt mind loosing, yea right.

Right now I'm shifting at 6300rpms for my 2-3 shift, but my rpms drop into the high 3k range, and i loose power bad till i get back above 4k. I am going to try to advance the cam 4* to lower the power band some, but will i loose much power doing so?

What I' mean is, right now i thing this cam hits peak HP at @6800-7000rpms. By advancing it to hit my peak at around 6300-6500rpms will i loose much if any power?

BTW, yes the Nissan was a 4 banger with a full interior, and a small sub box.

I do have to give it to the guy though, when he passed me at 80mph, he cought a 4th gear scratch!

 

You need a stall converter to keep those rpms up on the shifts. I have a TCI 3800 you could get.

 

3800 sounds like what i need. My B-day is next month, so thats what i'm telling the wife i want. What are you asking? Does it keep the lockup?

Aside from the stall i need to get comp 918's so i can rev it to 7k and see what she's got. Right now i'm still on the stockers. lol

 

wam bam. is that thing streetable?

 

I have no clue, never installed it.

You really have to drive in a high stalled vehicle to decide if it's streetable or not.

I had a 3800 stall in my old Camaro and it was streetable to me but, I don't think I could have dealt with much bigger on daily basis.

The lower(numerically) the gear the less loose the converter will feel.

 

really? could you explain

this isn't thread hijacking, you know you are curious also snake eater

 

Doh! that is a typo. The higher numerically the less loose the converter will feel.

 

i agree with the stall, try advancing your cam, and next time hit your go go switch, lol. sometimes those little fart canned cars are actually quick, g/l with it,

 

I would hit my go-go switch, but $80 to fill a 10lb bottle is rediculase. Not to mention the fact a full bottle only lasts me about 6 runs.

 

Where in the hell are you buying N20 for $8 per lb.??? Its less then half that around here.
