How many running dual power adders?

[DeltaT]

Just wondered how many of you are running say a blower and nitrous, or turbo(s) and nitrous? Any 'Lessons Learned'? I'm going to hook up the nitrous on my Vortech-blown motor after I finish this swap, and I'd like to hear any successes or horror stories.

Thanks,

Jim

I dont see much luck with dual adders out at the races.
If you have one adder you can usually find a way to simply add more of the same

IMO more is better

I have ran turbo and nitrous before....... you have to be careful because it acts like 2 times the shot due to the liquid intercooling. We ended up running a pressure switch to turn the nitrous off at a certain amount of boost. So basically we used it to instantly spool the turbo off the line.

I need to stick with this blower but am already plumbed for nitrous, so I'm thinking of a Stage 1 50-shot, Stage2 ~100 shot, Stage 3 Both setup.

I have the NOS Progressive Controller and a stage-activated multi-step retard to make the nitrous and ignition work together.

Just trying to see if I missed anything or any horror stories.

Thanks,

Jim

progressive controllers are hard on solenoids. your gonna have to pull a little timing out to spray it anyway, so getting a box where you can pull an additional couple degrees out and ramp it in over a short time period will help you 60' the car. easier on solenoids, lets your work with the tire/suspension combo, and doesnt kill your motor. or at least get a digiset and leave on nothing but boost, turn the 50 on .5 in the run then the 100 1.5-2.0 in the run

I'd keep it under a 100shot single stage. That 100shot with boost is gonna seem like you've got an air/water cooler plus some.

Theres a guy here who runs true ten5 with a single turbo and a duall nozzel wet kit. 250 shot on top of the boost and it flat out freaking flys. Ive seen it white smoke hazing the tires 1/8 mile and run a 4.90. Seems to work really well for him.

I like prochargers. 25lbs. boost & a 225hp shot n2o, 1218 rwhp & blowing thru the converter. Rod

 

[Dom87SS]

procharged and sprayed BBC making 1300ish hp id defiantly say there is a problem there. what kinda converter do you have?

im guessin this is on c-16 or the likes?

but there are a lot of factors like your non-intercooled, we dont know your timing, or carb jet, or bottle pressure ect.

Ok it's 38* locked pulling 7.5 for boost and another 5* when I hit the spray. Non intercooled on E85 pump fuel. It's a JW Permormance converter. This is not in my Malibu but in my Impala street car! Rod

P.S. I forget it's a turbo 400 with a gear venders overdrive behind it.
