My WAG.

It's slower NA than it used to be by a couple tenths.


Mine is too, although I'm way slower than you. Used to run 11.20's pretty easily but now 11.30's - .40's.

I attribute it to the colder plugs, plate restricting flow and maybe the thicker VR1 20w50 I started using in conjunction with nitrous. Maybe the weight of the added hardware for nitrous as well? Freaked me out at first thinking it was having issues but the more I thought about why... shruggy


Mine lost it all in the 60' due to the converter being 1,000 rpm tighter and 3.54 gear versus the 4.10 I used to run.
My best NA pass ever (back in 2007) was 9.54 at 140.4 mph w/ a 1.32 sixty foot.
Now (w/ the nitrous setup) it has run 9.69 at 142.5 mph w/ a 1.43 sixty foot. It pulls hard up top w/ this setup, it just won't leave! For this pass I was on pump gas and had the hotter -8 plugs in it...just like I always ran for NA passes. When on the nitrous I use a -10 plug and Renegade Pro 120 nitrous fuel.
It also has a bigger intake manifold on it now which hurts the lowend.
