From what I have seen in real life is a typical 50 shot on boost doesnt react like a 50 shot on a non boosted motor
For example:
Old hickman's b16a back in like 1998 was running 10.90's. Barely qualified in the top 16
Ripped off a 50 shot single wet fogger at the track off another car no tuning,no wideband this was before the times when that stuff was open to ever Joe
car laid down 10.30's-10.40's the rest of the weekend and never failed made it to the nhra finals on that bottle that weekend.
Needless to say nitrous on boost makes huge #'s.
Is it the cooling effect? Or something else? Always wondered why a 50 shot on a boosted motor is more like a 75 pill
Normally with spray and boost i've seen a 150-225% gain on what the shot was (thats assuming that everything isn't completely choked), gsr with a 35r on a 75shot picked up 140hp. The cooling effect has alot to do with it, you have the power from the shot itself, then the cooling effect, which causes the charge to become ALOT more dense.
The rule of thumb is that every 10 degrees you can drop IAT's you gain 1% of power, so you take a turbo'd 300hp engine, add 50 from the nitrous, and drop the intake temps from 100 degrees to -100 degrees so you got 300hp + 60hp(200 degrees of iat drop, 200 x .10= 20% x 300= 60hp) + 50Hp from the nitrous = 410hp , 110hp gain from a 50 shot. That isn't exact numbers, but a reasonable estimate to explain whats going on.
I've noticed that the smaller the shot the higher % gain, the law of diminishing returns kicks in because you can only drop the intake temps so much, which causes me to believe that increase in power from the IAT drop is added to the orginal power level, and then power from the nitrous is added last, final power= (original power) + (% gain from IAT drop x OP) + (Nitrous)
