Hi guys, just about to have TR Racing install a 50 shot of NOS (fogger system) and was wondering about others techniques for use on the drag strip

Do people generally use this from the launch all the way to the end of the strip or is it used once the car is launched and finding traction?

Thoughts appreciated

Use it to build boost and launch the car. That where the big gains are to be found. It doent make much difference at all if you push it half way down the strip.

The sooner you use it the better your results will be, hitting it just before you leave will get it right up on boost/torque and help get a heavy car leaving hard.

with a 50 shot, when the fogger is triggered, does timing need to be retarded as well? Or do timing adjustments only come into play with much larger doses of nitrous?

Thanks Rob. In full street trim so need some help to get that lardy arse off the line

Not sure on that Toby. Tweenie is going to set up the NOS so that it will only activate with the race gas on the race fuel map (this will also save me a fortune on NOS as there will be no temptation to use it on the road) :chuckle:

So I guess that Tweenie will be controlling all of the parameters through the FCON software to make sure that it is all safe :bowdown1::bowdown1:

saw your gtr at tracing on thurs with a note on the passenger seat saying "fit NOS" nice car

Thanks Dennis. Sounds like I gotta hit the big button and hold on tight :clap::clap::clap:

With a medium power engine I'd personally be going for much more than a 50hp shot, it won't be enough to "really" make it worth it, it'll be cool and all that and it will help your times a little but IMO go with 100-125hp through a single fogger and make it worth the exercise, you could drop around a second off your time with good traction and a well tuned 125 shot.

Well if it was up to me Rob I would go for a 200 shot :flame: but I need to be sensible and listen to Tweenie He is obviously driven by reliability as much as performance and I am happy to go with his recommendations whatever they are. I can't wait to give it a go at York in two weeks time though :thumbsup:
