I didn't mean useless. I just meant makes things complicated.

You can adjust the amount of fuel with the nozzles

I'm running 100% but our set up obviously aren't the same. Going to hook the kit back up this weekend to see how things run with this cooler weather we have now. Always safe to start off with a strong mixture then dilute it as you go to see what works best for you.

Ok.. I think all you FI guys need to worry more about getting your cars to hook before you start adding more power... To be brutally honest the FI timeslips are no where near what you would expect from a car making the power that you guys are showing on your dyno sheets. If these cars are truly making the power they claim to be, they need to be DEEP into the 12s... not 13 flat... My 5100 pound Flex runs 12.9s and I'm at 360 WHP / 400 WTQ... That's LESS than some of the dyno numbers here... Figure I'm a thousand pounds heavier, and less aerodynamic... that's a solid second right there... That means those FI cars claiming 400+ HP and 400+ TQ should really be in the 11s! or very close to it! Not 13s! The difference is I can hook... So before you guys even think about adding more power your really need to make better use of what you've got.... Ok... off my soap box..

To your point about about adjusting the amount of fuel with nozzles... you can do the very same thing with methanol... especially when you look at something like the Alky Control kit I'm running. You can run different size nozzles. You can adjust at what PSI the pump starts, you can adjust how much the pump sprays when it starts up and it is a progressive controller so it sprays more as the PSI climbs... and there is also a "ramp up "adjustment that tells the controller how fast to increase the spray as the PSI goes up... So you can see you can get plenty of control with a methanol kit.

I know plenty of guys that have tried dual power adders on very similar V6s and all of them ended badly....

yep, BUT, you tap into the low pressure fuel line, which is not the issue... the issue is the high pressure side... so with N2O you tap into the low pressure fuel and add a boost-a-pump if need be...

With MT DR's 315/45/18 I hooked Everytime and with MT DR's 305/35/18 I hooked 75% of the time. So my traction issue is fine

This has bad written all over it lol...
I'd rather run 100% Meth and up the boost then add nitrous along side boost.

We need more advice like this in here. A lot of guys want to add power, but that big number on the dyno chart doesn't mean anything if you can't get it to the track.

Thing is your ET doesn't really line up with your trap speed... not sure exactly what the RX SC system is supposed to be making..
