Re: Nitrous Devastation!
Took a second look at my numbers and IDK where my head was when I did the altitude correction. The first run on 6psi would have been 13.97 not 14.2 and the run when it poped would have been 13.2 not 13.4. So I was a little faster than I thought.

Re: Nitrous Devastation!
I think it was still too slow on nitrous. Even having it ramp up the way I did something just doesn't add up.

Re: Nitrous Devastation!
When I put 3x00 springs on it I found out it didn't have valvestem seals on the exhaust side, I think in an attempt to keep them cooler. Had to fix that so I wouldn't have oil burning in the exhaust screwing with the turbo.

Re: Nitrous Devastation!
im pretty sure its due to the design of the ex port under the seat that causes the engines to be hard on the valve seats but i could be wrong
