SM105K's Ownership/Performance/Maintenance Thread

Purge your engine?  So I could just spray into the charge pipe to purge....yes a purge kit would be nice but an unnecessary cost if not needed.  Smallest jet included is .017.  That small enough?

Yes, hold the rpm at 2k and quickly press the button.  You will know when it hits, the rpms will bump. 

0.17 is perfect to start with.  I never got to see IAT temps with my Mustang, so it would be interesting so how low they can get.

What's a price range for filling a 5lb bottle and what would be a rough estimate for how many passes I can get from one bottle?

Depends on the price per lb or nitrous.  Call your local supplier.  With such a small jet, that bottle will last at least 20 passes.

For reference. On my Mustang with a 10 lb bottle and a 150 shot, it lasted nine passes.  With both kits 4.75 passes.  It would stutter at the end of the fifth run.  I just shut one kit down right when it started stuttering and it would carry through on the shark fogger.

If my SHO with all the upgrades doesn't break 400 hp and click off a 12.20 in Oct...........

It will force my hand.  I have tried to reason with it and be nice. 

The conversation this morning at 430 am.  "Please do what you are suppose to.  Please don't force my hand and make me put a stand alone wet kit on you.  Please don't mess with me, because I am a stupid."

Thats pillow talk

Take it from me Easton these bastard sho's just don't listen. Now hit the son a b*tch with nitrous.

I am at those crossroads...lol.  I am out of turbo and fuel, so they need to be upgraded together to compliment each other. At roughly $3600 dollars, plus my labor and
my time ...it is worth it right now? I keep seeing turbo and fuel pump cars in the 480-500 hp range. 

For less then $800 I can build a complete stand alone kit, and with a 50 shot make the same power and most likely go quicker because of the instant ability of nitrous to make TQ.  It is tempting.     

[shoNoff]

Do it

if you would like I will "Loan you" my extra 13 HP over 400 so you can get there without spending the 3600.00 

[802SHO]

Do it or else this is going to happen

[shoNoff]

The price is wrong b*tch

If I put a wet kit on the car, I am not looking to just bump the power.  I will radial her down, and I am going record hunting at full weight.

Given your background and experience with nitrous I wonder why it doesnt already have a kit on it.  But maybe you just didn't want to go there.  It was your daily before but it's not now.  If you do decide to build a kit, I bet it it will be epic.  At least you can decide to do this at any time.  I'm looking forward to your next dyno session as I expect to see some great improvements with the new IC and downpipes, tq mounts, wheel/tires

I didn't want to put a kit on the car because it was never suppose to be a "fast" car.  However there are numerous factors changing my mind.

1. It isn't a daily.
2. There is a 2.5 year warranty on left on my trans.
3. My current configuration is maxed out.
4. I have all the supporting mods for a stand alone kit.

I could actually have Brad pull boost (which will help fuel pressure) and with a EPP noise maker delete (which is next) I could place a fogger directly where a meth nozzle would go. It won't take much for a wet kit to make 480 to 500 hp.  I would worry about TQ personally, I think 600 tq to the tire will be a blast but will have diminishing returns.

I am 60 percent yes and 40 percent no right now.  However if I put a kit on the car, it won't be until the fall.  I will dyno this car as it sits and see where we are at.  Plus I plan to run in the 12.00 index at Street Car Takeover here in Oct.  After that I will either strap a kit to it, or not.

See, you know exactly how to set it up and make it work.  I think waiting just a little longer is a good idea but then like you said after Oct....SEND IT
