I did it!

[91_bowtie]

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. 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.

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

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&#39;t notice any SOTP increase. I am assuming you are non intercooled so expect you would see great benefits in the cooling.

I&#39;ve got the Grabber UHP 285/50/20&#39;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.

After racing it last night, I&#39;d tend to agree with you. 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&#39;s in the back when I was out playing the time before. I hadn&#39;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&#39;m a little confused. I&#39;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&#39;s were up to 162 and 177. I would think I&#39;d be seing much lower temps if the spray was actually working.

Correct. non-intercooled. If Snow Perfromance would get off their ass and send me non-broken parts, I&#39;d be in much better shape.

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.

[KySilverado]

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&#39;ve also looke at some direct port systems but don&#39;t know if you could get all the extra height under the J-tube.

[JimmyRadix]

True it is tight as hell under there.
