10.95 at Norwalk this weekend
Went to Norwalk for the Pontiac Nationals and after making a few 12.0 passes and one 11.99 on motor during a track rental on Thursday I decided to put the bottle in and make a couple of runs. First with 35N/22F jets it went 11.59 at 115 and then with 62N/38F jets it went 10.958 at 122. Was not a perfect pass, spun a little and the nitrous was cutting out due to the high rpm cutoff on the FJO controller set too low but I'm still happy with a 10 second pass on a day with da that put me 4 tenths off my n/a best

Rick I'm so sorry I didnt get to say goodbye after we started going round robin but it was great hanging out with and meeting you and your family, hopefully we can do it again next year
I did real well on Sunday, went 9 rounds to win Chief though I got real lucky in the final when the super pro car I was against went red.
Me and BadBird ready to play on Thursday
Trophies fron Sunday

Thanks and thanks for your help on Thursday with the 10mm wrench, always seems like I forget something lol That sucked that the nitrous didn't work for the shootout, and going red sucks to but you went like 3 or 4 rounds each day which isn't bad.
Thanks, I've got a Nitrous Outlet 78mm plate kit on it with an FJO controller. I was a little gun shy about hitting it too but after talking with Rick about his setup I figured pull some timing and give it a try. The 11.59 pass was a 50 shot, the 10.95 pass was a 150 shot. Would be cool to run again at atco and make another side by side pass on the bottle

Hey Steve check out these pictures http://www.pontiacnationals.com/ (let pictures scroll)looks like it was pretty hot!!! It was cool to hear you won it all I was kidding around with your daughter about her Dad putting everyone on trailer and making them leave since they was only ones left in your area in pit.I'm not to disapointted we mostly show car and only race at nats in Norwalk every year just to see what she'll do and after the electical issues with nitrous then having to replace alternator feel lucky to go as far as I did with everything that was going on.(thought I'd be sitting when wouldn't start saturday morning)

Yup 93 pump gas and I run 26 timing n/a so I followed the 2 for every 50hp rule and dropped timing to 20. I met a guy who had a 7 second a first gen firebird nitrous car at the event and after looking at the plugs and talking it over I need to spend more time tuning it cause it looks like it needs a bit more timing or a little less fuel (or some combination of the two). I'm still new to running nitrous and am trying to learn, hoping any mistakes I make while learning dont cost me a motor.

Congrats on the fun you had and your 10.95 pass.
If you are not doing the following then you will not be getting a correct reading of the plugs. They need to be new and you need to have very little idle time. Burn out, stage and race at the top end of the track when you cross the finish line you must shut the car down and coast off the track. Take one or two plugs out at the top end of the track and put in extra plugs to get back to the pits. Reading the plugs using this method is the only way to get the tune spot on!
Good luck and be safe!

Thanks for the advice N2, quick question explain shutting down at the top end. I've had people say they kill the motor wot and go to neutral, is that right and safe for the car? I want the car to run well on nitrous, and more importantly not hurt anything, so I'm willing to do what needs to be done but that said I put a few hundred passes on the car a year and of those I'd bet no more than 20 will be nitrous runs. So I want to make sure I do things the best I can to get the most info on those runs to tune in the right direction.
