spraying on the tranbrake

I don't spray but if I did it would be with a wot switch and a 5 pole relay to energize the noz when the Transbrake single went off.

I wired mine so as soon as the transbrake releases it comes on. I wouldn't want to be on the transbrake with the nitrous on

I have been spraying at the release of the brake. No delay whatsoever. I am think about spraying on the brake to get the car to 60ft better.

depending on your hp with the shot on...
hp is hp.. as long as you have the trans and converter to handle power..i dont see any reason you couldnt spray while on the brake..
ive hit mine with a .63 (150hp)pill. while on the brake...(i realise thats not all that much)when my tires are good and track is good it usually stands the front tires up the most..
but its not consistant for me..mostly because it messes up my normal stage and launch routine .

not to sound like a smart azz but why would you say that? Nitrous TS spray on the convertor don't they?

Whats your 60' now with what kind of power... I dont
spray but it makes a TON of torque and with any amount
it would blow through a conv... all the guys I know
that spray pretty hard hit it at the release and ramp
it in for what the track will take... you have to
remember that while your on the line the conv is
making twice the torque and drops as soon as you
start rolling

did you ever try it on the convertor?

If you are going to spray it on the brake I hope you don't use a 2 step if so watch out hood and carb

There is absolutely no reason to do this, nor do I know of anybody that does.

You hit 500-600 of spray while sitting on the trans
brake... am I hearing you correct

Re: spraying on the tranbrake - 04/30/14 06:54 AM
Not really the right way to do it. If you are having to go to these extreme measures to get the car to leave, you have some converter problems. This will destroy a converter pretty fast also. If you hate your trans and converter at least video the event for our viewing pleasure later.

Been there, done it, wouldn't recommend it. 60ft improved from 1.30 to 1.28, but it was pretty much the same by the 330ft.! 1.76 glide 9" spragless converter, mild 440 in a 2850 lb. car. 250 at the hit, and occasionally before, then another 175 at 100ft out.

Yeah especially if the engine stalls after the second stage timer has started.
My car is set up for the first stage to start at the transbrake release and the second to start some time after the transbrake is released. Somehow up at STL this happened to Mike Robbins in (now) my Demon when the engine quit as he was staging and he hit the starter...

Mike, the only guys I know that do that are with the turbo cars. I've seen about 150 hp to 250hp shot commonly used. They use the NOS to bring up boost quicker so they dont get caught with there pants down staging. You might want to head over to yellow bullet and see if anyone else has tried what your asking. In my opinion this is the wrong board for this question. You can tell by the types of replys you get back from some of the people here.
By the way nice looking car!

Re: spraying on the tranbrake - 04/30/14 09:58 PM
I was just curious if anyone was doing it. Currently I feel the car is a little lazy on the 60ft. To date the best was a. 1.25 with an average of 1.28. We went 8.20 at almost 169 mph. I figured if the 60s were in the teens I might see a 7 out of it.
Thanks
Mike

If it's the Cuda in your sig.........it appears to have a LOT of bite in the chassis. You are barely out of the beams and it is punishing the tire and riding the bars hard

I don't know any personally but I hear some guys spray to spool.

Re: spraying on the tranbrake - 05/02/14 08:10 PM
There is no reason to do this. Some no's combos are tuned fat either on motor or no's and both. This will make it lazy leaving. Some relays are slow releasing delaying the nitrous activation. Look up the drop away time. Some relays come with a diode across the coils to help the magnetic field in the relay's coil collapse faster. Any realistic amount of no's activated while on the brake would be harmful.
