I finally sprayed it! After trading bottles with a friend, I hooked up the rest of the system, and went for a test drive before the races tonight. The results were pretty dissapointing. I don't have any traction whatsoever. :laugh: In 4wd, it spun for 100 feet, and got sideways when it shifted into second. I desperately need new tires now, and I'm thinking the 255/65 grabber uhp's that I was considering won't be enough. :rock:
Details please. You are maggie powered, right? What size shot did you run? Wet or dry. If dry did you spray before the MAF?
I am also running radix with stock pulley. AWD really sucks though I wish I would have known before I knew I was going to do these mods I would have bought a 2wd 4wd selector truck but hey I not gonna cry now its running good. I wanted to know can I spray her with a small shot of Nitrous or am I pushing it. And does anyone know of the numbers on the jets (fuel and nitrous) to get a safe 50hp hit .
2004 Yukon Radix stock pulley AWD
Headers coming
Stock tune
Thinking about cam and or smaller pulley any advise.Thanks

50 shot
wet
after the maf
If you want other info, just let me know. :rock:
Hey thanks for the update. I must admit I am a bit suprised at the performance increase you are reporting. The few guys that I know of who have put a 50 shot on say they really didn't notice any SOTP increase. I am assuming you are non intercooled so expect you would see great benefits in the cooling.
I've got the Grabber UHP 285/50/20's on mine. They are a great tire but I can still break them loose at will in 2wd. Hooks well in 4wd. Not much if any improvement in traction over the stockers.

I think the gain that I was seeing was strictly based on me swapping to the stock wheels, and eliminating some weight. I was carrying the 22's in the back when I was out playing the time before. I hadn't really run it hard with them (other than a few burnouts) before that. Last night, I opened the bottle and ran a nearly stock TBSS, that ran a 13.87 @99 the night before. We went about 5 times, and I pulled it by a couple cars everytime. After we all stopped, I closed the bottle, and we went out to meet up with a bunch of other people. We went again on the highway, from a 65, and I pulled him harder than I did before with the bottle open. So, now I'm a little confused. I'm going to weigh the bottle, and see if it was even spraying at all. I also ran a civic hatch twice. By the end of both runs, my IAT's were up to 162 and 177. I would think I'd be seing much lower temps if the spray was actually working.Quote:

Correct. non-intercooled. If Snow Perfromance would get off their ass and send me non-broken parts, I'd be in much better shape. :bash:
Would it be more effecient if we had made plumbing under the radix by the manifold for nitrous? Sort of like a fogger system but not that extreme. Just a thought. I dont really like the idea of that wet mix going through the screws of the charger.
NxRicky is working on a fogger plate for the Radix. It would be safer to keep the gas and fuel away from the rotors. I've also looke at some direct port systems but don't know if you could get all the extra height under the J-tube.
True it is tight as hell under there.
