150 shot nitrous graphs!!
looks nice jeremy!
someday when I gotta build my engine, I'm going to look into a direct port nitrous setup with my SSV for drag racing and will probably hit you up for advice and parts - wish I lived closer to you
I think torque also drops partly because the engine is more efficient at mid rpms than at high rpms
like how a turbo can be delivering 8 psi all through the powerband, but the torque ends up being higher in the midrange anyway - well some of that is because the turbo is also more efficient at mid rpms than high rpms for most kits for the Z/G

thats impressive, do you think a 150 shot would be reliable on a stock motor with direct port wet setup, like i think i saw you did with the lower plenum?
P.S. how much for a the lower plenum? (im assuming a core charge then we ship ours out to you later), any pics or threads im missing on that thing?

That's why hp linearly increases over most of the rpm range when the torque is flat. Look at any dyno. At the high rpm end the torque starts to drop and the hp starts to level.
The torque is linearly dropping. Therefore the hp can remain constant as the rpm increases. Nos doesn't change physics.
Also, doesn't an nos system give a burst and then fade as the no2 gets used? If you kept the nos going, the torque would stay flat and the HP would go up with rpm like you would normally see.
Made a mistake with the last comment, deleted it, shouldn't write at night after a beer...

^ agreed! Jeremy might help me direct port my setup because our feeling is 175 shot through direct port might be safer on my stock block than a 150 shot through a single nozzle. There's no reason why a dual stage direct port shouldn't be on a built motor. My feeling is he's probably saving for a turbo and will use the nozzle on top of that for some extra trq... Just a guess!

thats the plan, turbo is the next step for me
.
a really nice DP setup can cost around 1000 for the full kit with everything plus about 1000 to install it. it seriously sucks to install. thats half a turbo kit with none of the inconsistency of good ole laughing gas..
