anybody here say i should do,,and im not putting a 50 shot i wanna run 75 or 100 dry shot,,,what do u guys think

 

Im doing that in a few months with hopes of 12s, but im dong a bunch over of other stuff to prepare for it

 

so what are you doing to prepare for it?

 

what do u mean prepare,,, im just gonna put colder plugs,,what should i do

 

umm.. fuel system... some guages maby. Make sure your car if running perfect for sure. Cooling would be good.

 

i meant more making sure i had a good suspention set up and maximum traction.

 

Dude, you're not going to hit 12's with just a 100 dry shot of Nitrous. I have a 100 dry shot of juice and my car is no where near it. You should od some more planning and purchasing. Like intake, headers, ehaust, wet kit, and pullies.

 

Yea dude, Mantis is running 75 with I/H/E and he runs high 13's. (13.8 - 13.9)

 

You clearly need one of the big ones. Better make it 2.

 

He will blow himself up with that much NAWS

 

Given the tranny I wouldn't do more then a 75 shot. I know a few guys with this setup & they run mid-high 13's.

 

Then he got issuses, CLS-6 speed is capible of running consistant 13s with just intake and header. The problem that I have studied with everyone on here is that they all add all these power mods to your cars and then go run it and to do anything good because they cant come off the line with anything better than a 2.2 60ft or higher. You guys need to really under stand that if you invest in a good suspension set up and increase the amount of traction the from stock then you wont need stuff like a 3.5 swap just to run something like a 13.6 wit bolt ons. A friend of mines around here is running 13.5 on CLS6 wit I/H/E and 75 shot. He has bad launches off the line off the line and still runs a 13.5 with no wheel tire upgrades or traction upgrades. If he does something like spend 200 bucks on some torque dampers and maybe another 300 on some 16 inch wheels with DRs his ability to luanch higher off the line and not spinn as much will be increased and he should run at least a 12.9.

The set up im planning to run to hopefully yeild me a 12.9 in the fall is

Ice Box
Headers
crank pulley
Thermo Block spacers
Tein Basic
NRG front rear torque damper
maybe unichip or something
75 shot
16 inch wheels on the best DRs i can find
Custom exhaust to stock mufflers

Anything is possible with a little bit of time, money and research

 

Maybe a few cars with good 1/4 mile drivers, & DR's. The problem lies in getting traction. The 6MT is a bitch to launch as well.

There are factory freaks that seem to be faster then other cars.

 

Why didnt you quote the rest of what I said, because I said all of that and more

 

Here's something to think about for you guys that are doubting the capabilites of the CL:
This is taken from his sig (sorry for stealing it, Joe), but the CL is capable of high 13s with just an Icebox when driven properly. With I/H/E/P and Nitrous it should easily be mid to low 13s. Depending on the driver and mods, the CL can probably be high 12s w/out Forced Induction or 3.5L. The hardest thing about tracking these cars is getting traction.

 

What do nitros do? Where do they go? Or are you talking about the dodge Nitro?

 

High 12s w/o FI or 3.5L? O RLY???

 

almost snuck that one by.... damn that movie!

 

exactly...

 

exactly...

 

i don't think you are going to break 12's. and all this talk about suspension setup and you list the tein basics? that is not my idea of a good suspension setup. maybe zeal, apexi or even tein ss but, not tein basics.

 

I ran a best of 13.2 @ 105 with my zex 75 dry shot. Backed it up too.

I tried to run a 100 shot, but I kept blowing the vacuum line off of the FPR. I tried clamping it down and on that run the vacuum line exploded.

 

You beat me to it Mattg. I was just going to say that there was a guy with a silver a/t running 13.2 with a 75 shot. So I don't doubt either that a m/t with all those mods and a good launch wouldn't be in the 12's.

 

Well for track purposes all u need is something basic enough to let you adjust the height of the front of the car so you can keep the nose from coming up and losing traction, Tein Basics are fine just for that. If I dont break 12s i know imma run close to it.

 

As I always state when this is brought up. I think his car is a freak. Add the fact he can 1/4 mile race the car well because he's been doing it a while. Also keep in mind not all tracks are the same & times can vary.
An average 6MT CL driver could not achieve these times without some serious practice.

I agree the car can do it, but only given the right conditions & driver.

 

Also that 13.9 came with no passenger seat, spare & jack, and lightweight 17's up front with drag radials. The wheels arent in my sig cuz i sold em awhile ago.

I'll bet my car right now would be hard pressed to hit 14.5's because of the 19's and pass seat in.

Think I can fit a pair of 26x11.5x16 ET Streets on it? There's an event coming up at the local dragway and I'll bet i wouldnt have traction probs with them. They propelled my 11 sec Cobra to 1.7 60's

 

the front end it still going to lift. it does on my slow automatic, it will on your 6 speed. adjustableshocks and struts would help alot more than just lowering the car.

 

the front of the car can only lift as high as the the shocks will expand.

 

My best run with all comptech,V-Tech ,thermoblock,fuel reg.,extra fuel pump
13.56 @ 106.66mph that a 75 shot which dyno 293.6 hp
hit the switch at 5000-1 that means first gear at 5000rpm and the wheels still spin
the dyno was 51 hp with NOS GAIN with tires I think the tranny will blow

 

what do you mean?

 

Honestly if you don't know anything about prepping your car to take a dry kit, and plan to run a 100 shot, you are going to detonate your motor.

This is my previous car:




With a 100 shot you absolutely want some kind of fuel management system. If you're planning on just spraying away and not bothering to check your A/F ratios, there's a very good chance you'll lean it out and end up at high RPM with a motor full of nitrous and not much gas. And that's bad.

Do yourself a favor and do your homework first. You can pick up an S-AFC relatively cheap, as well as a decent set of gauges (air/fuel is an absolute necessity) so that you can monitor your motor. Put in a window switch so that if you do spike your RPM's (or your cluch takes a bow) you won't end up doing severe internal damage.

 

Another member of the dead motor club coming up. :\

Your priorities are all wrong. The first thing you want to do is to make sure that your ENGINE handles the nitrous correctly. Springs and tires aren't going to help you when you cause a lean condition because you want to be Vin Diesel.

 

<---- 125 shot for over 2 years. 110 octane, cold plugs and bigger injectors with my last engine (upgraded fuel pump with this motor instead of injectors). But in all honestly, a good tune will help keep you safe.

 

dude, im talking about preparing the car to put the power down at the track so I wont be spinning tires all over the place. I already have people at shops here that has juiced up another CLS6 so i will be ok.

 

kooo

 

Im trying to spray enough nitrous to beat this, LOL

 

wtf? 12.5...that's incredible! That's a heavy ass car too. :ibithas2turbos:

 

I cant remember, I have spoke wit them before. They own a performance shop in this area called Infinity Motor Sports or something. Real cool people though.

 

Best of luck then, just make sure they do more than change your plugs and tap your intake. And enjoy the torque steer.

 

I have a CLS too but, my real fun car is the Legend. I am planning on hitting at least 12.7's on the 22nd of this month on the new nitrous tune.
