15-16%.

I was using a TCI 3600. That motor went into another car and went 10.29 with a better converter and gear @ same weight +/-

Well,here's the thing,while the current cam may not be ideal for nitrous,I would be far more worried about other areas like ring material and end gaps vs. the cam when trying to figure out how much hp it'll handle from the kit.

If using plasma moly rings w/NA end gaps,that's more of a limiting factor than the cam will EVER be.

But yeah,if looking to hose this thing hard,you got some decisions to make.

And like David said,the 4.11's likely wont be the best ratio when running on the kit,but that's also not the biggest area of concern either.

You're at one of those "fish or cut bait" moments with this combo.

Concetrate on making slightly more hp NA and let the nitrous remain a very small part of the combo.

-or-

Refine the combo in a few select areas so it can handle a sh!t ton more spray.

And understand they really are two seperate paths @ this level.

Especially when it comes to areas like torque converter selection.

That's a good point you make about the rings. I'm not a nos guy. Never was. So when I built the motor I filed the rings for n/a gaps. But I've been through 3 bottles so far. 1 bottle was with a 210 shot and had no problems. Lol.

But anyway, You're also right about the converter too. Mainly, why I want to make more power n/a is because I don't want the nos. But from the answers im getting here it doesn't look good for the n/a increase for additional power. So it looks like either nos or turbo for me now... I guess I have to think some more on it for now...

Thanks to everyone for helping me figure this out...

Yeah that's a lot of slip. What was your mph?
