No, and neither will your engine if you have to ask that question.

Tell me your plans, I know a lot about NOS.

Alright, here's the deal: Not only will the clutch not take a 200 hp shot, the tranny won't either. A dry system will not support a 200 hp shot, so a wet system would need to be used. For this to work, you'd need an upgraded pump, and more than likely, an FPR.

If you are willing to replace everything about your drivetrain, go for it. I recommend a direct port wet NOS system, with a walboro, and make sure your retard your timing about 8-12 degrees.

Go for it. You need a fuel pump at the very least. You lsted a dual stage system.... You are aware that its a better idea to use "Addition" stages, where the second stage just adds the extra horsepower to make the total.

How much time do you have? What kind of budget? I'll see what I can do.

BTW, you don't need 200 hp to run 13 seconds...


I'm doing a write-up on Nitrous Oxide on Rotaries tonight. It should answer all of your questions.

My guess is the tranny will shatter unless you stage the shots. You will slip your clutch, but who cares? NOS can compensate against that.

Gimme your budget and time amount, I'll design you an rediculously powerful system.

Go with your first stage of 80 hp in front of the TB, single wet fogger. Put a second direct port setup, with one fogger per runner, jetted to 40 hp each. Hit the first button at 4000 in second, hold it down, then keep holding it down and add the second shot at 4000 rpm in third. Shift at 7500, and use a microswitch.

Retard your timing 10 degrees before the run, and install a walboro.

Get a good launch, and you'll win, easily. Look for a 10 second pass with that setup (its what I run).

Yes.

You probably won't be able to drive your car home. It is possible... but I think your tranny is gonna frag out on you.

No matter what, be prepared to fork out the dough if you lose. I never make a bet unless I know for a fact I'm going to win, and even then, I make sure I can put up with the cost of losing.

Might I also recommend a pair of slicks?
