Well, i've had this on going from the FIAT section for those who followed. But the NOS was installed before i got the rims and music done, so i just began spraying. Results are pretty miraculas, 100 dry shot did a significant on speed (note: the only cars i've personally taken to its limit was an 02 911turbo, and a 2000 hayabusa. Those are warp zone speed machines). Very impressed with results
Acceleration could have been alot better if not for the 3 batteries, 100 pounds of dynamat, the four W6's + amps, then the enourmous wheel resistance coming off the 22 inch rims. But the front seemed as if it where lifting off as the rear nearly touched the ground. All i wanted to achieve by risking my entire stock engine was to able to burn out with the rims..., and i could, so i'm happy.
Until i rolled to a stop after climbimg to 110 mph while stuck to the back out the seat. Got home to to find that i melted my platinum 4's (NOS+Platinum= No No, but they had been recently installed and didnt wanna junk them cause im cheap, now i can warrantee them out) Called NGK and they directed me to some iridium plugs (BKR8EIX-11, store stock number 2668) that are actually recommended for these upgrades. (Forced induction, NOS, etc.)
But car still only turns over to run for 1 or 2 seconds before dying out. Checked all vacuumes, everythings still pluged in, engine turns over normally, dont hear any mechanical problems for the brief time its on, but, back to the garage with it. Only had NOS installed for 2 days, sprayed about 12 times. Now im down for the count.
In the end, go turbo. I am next summer. (Wrong tread for advice, but please advise on starting issue)
