  • In my quest to stay ahead of the Street Car Game in our camp, I have to continue to get faster or risk getting beat by (gasp) either a Mustang, or a 3rd Gen Camaro driven by Kenny Powers. So, there’s no better way to spend a night at your local track! I crank up the bottle pressure, shorten the ramp, and TURN IT LOOSE!

    • @michaelphelps5064
      @michaelphelps5064 Год назад +1

      In addition to the side panels behind the bumper that keep air going through the radiator, the lower valence is like an air scoop for the cooling system. The electric cooling fans worked good when the duct work out front is in tact and half ass sealed. Without the duct work the fans won't keep it cool. Most people threw that stuff away not realizing it was essential for A/C and engine cooling efficiency.

    When you have time have them check the balance on the tires on the suburban. 95% of the time that's what fixes it. If it's in the steering wheel it's usually in the fronts. If you feel it in your butt it's in the back. Congratulations on your street car win. Good luck this weekend.

    Bill keep in mind that the larger hose will hold more mass in it. Causing an even faster bottle pressure drop. The twin bottles would be the ticket with 2 -4 to a -6 feed. That will keep the line pressure as high as possible. 🤙

  • @jrdmotorsports9718
    @jrdmotorsports9718 Год назад

    Hey Bill. Few things that work well in these situations.
    -Add another bottle, with a Y block into the same main line.. The second bottle maintains pressure in the system on a given hit, and lasts longer before bottle changes. It is not just for "Big" hits. Smaller hits maintain pressure on the big end.
    -We run an average of 1,050psi for the hit. Higher the pressure at the start, the higher at the end. Keeps the nitrous in a "gaseous" form to be most effective. Watch your timing. This is usually for hot and sticky days.. Lower pressure keeps it in a more liquid state, less power, less hit, and will tend to run a bit richer for a given hit. This is usually for good air days as it is just more of a tuning window.
    -Going to the bigger main with a single bottle tends to drop pressure more, as the volume needs to recover in a bigger line. Usually needs more bottle pressure to become effective.
    -A -4 line is more than enough for up to 400hp worth of pills. More important is constant, and consistent bottle pressure. Hence the second bottle.
    -Shorter lines hit harder than longer lines. Regardless if from bottle to solenoid, or solenoid to plate. Even on the same size hit.
    Something I do with my customers, especially with small tire grudge guys on the street, run a big kit, with a smaller plate. The amount of holes greatly effects how it hits without sacrificing much over all power.
    Your suspension and converter, as tight as they seem, need that hard hit to plant the tire and get the front suspension to react. You can see how the car reacts the more aggressive you get compared to NA.
    Not telling you what to do, just a few ideas. Best of luck.

    Bill once again I enjoyed the content of your video and the way you explain things. You're getting close you're just right there on the borderline and getting in 10s back in the day yeah we were happy we can get 11s. Of course that was in 1970 71 72 so we were back there ways glad to see that y'all are well enjoy seeing Miss Vicky this time and for her age she looks amazing you're a very lucky man so from the Old Man in Tampa Florida may God bless each and every one of your crew or should I say Associates that are around your shop and keep everybody safe and healthy and most of all that y'all come back from the Carolinas safe and unscathed

    I finally figured out what I was going to say the other night when you all got me laughing so hard is I'm praying for your dad hopefully for a speedy recovery he needs his rest. It's good to see you all are getting the cars worked out and maybe Kenny can get the gremlins worked out as well I'm looking forward to the day that all the cars can make awesome hits uncle bucko is a hoot at times every thing is about maintenance how funny him being in charge of maintenance. Keep up the awesome content Bill God bless and as always be safe 👍
    P.S the hose clamps around the fuel line brought back memories I seen a lot of that back the 70s and 80s inorder to keep the fuel from vapor locking from the heat love you all

      I have 1 on my 1986 GMC 3500 wedge bed car hauler. It vapor locked years ago. Has not since the clothes pin was installed. The 454 likes mid grade fuel in the summer heat. A splash of 110 never hurts either.

    Bill are you able to watch the fuel pressure as you make your hit. You might try a bleed off on the fuel side. I always use the ones that take a nitrous jet from magna fuel. Makes keeping the fuel pressure consistent when making your hit. Anyways good luck 👍🏻

    Hey Bill my brother’s John Deere GT 235 has been solid for years and he has punished that tractor lol. We had sparks flying too this year and had to replace that pulley and carriage bolt. Also this is the first time I had to clean the carburetor in all these years. I finally convinced him not to run anymore fuel with any ethanol in it. Runs great again ! You will get those 10’s pretty easy I think . I hope to see more 1/4 mile passes this year if possible. Have a great weekend buddy !

I built and finished his first ride after even being engulfed in a gas explosion. He wants to play those damn games. Any help you can give how to get kids going forward like what you have done with yours would be so greatly appreciated. I know you're a busy guy and if you don't have the time I respect that.
