Running better too....

I have made 4 full passes so far this year on the jug.

6.52 then, 6.42, then 6.39 and then a 6.23.........

car should be a bit faster depending on bottle pressure. It also is on one stage. I might put another one on it if I can keep it off a wall and it lasts until next Spring.

should be fun.

I need some wheel screws for my rims, a NANO system, a tuning SUITE, and some travel limiters before I put the second kit on. Next year MAYBE.....

What size shot are you hitting in with? 150? Either way it looks like its working pretty good. But I think your right, you better get that thing launching straight before you hit it with a second stage. I have a setup very similar to yours that I plan on spraying 150 at in a couple weeks. 413 LS2 with ported L92 heads and a N20 outlet plate kit. I think I am going to pick up some Save Your *** bars from Madman before I spray it though. Especially after seeing your car. Are you running a trans brake? Also how high does your converter stall to NA and N20? Just trying to get an idea how my car is going to react to the bottle. Thanks, and good luck, your times will only improve with more seat time.

Congrats, it's coming around. I'd do travel limiters for sure.

Nice runs. Good to see the car is working.

Why would you need NANO for 1/8th mile racing? Seems like money could be better used elsewhere.

60ft was 1.32 on the back bumper... I am not sure if that was with or without the front registering.

The cleaner pass was a 1.38 with the shocks tightened up.

2 pills.... 52 each.... would normally be considered a 200+ shot...


It makes 410 on motor and picks up around 250 to 300 off the pills. Not really alot of nitrous though. I believe I was making under 720 on those runs.. probably around 690

I say add travel limiters and don't change anything else until you have 6-7 more clean passes. Your combo could run 9.5's with no changes I believe.

Wize,

Glad to see the car come around! I ran a 6.48 on a 75 dry shot which ended up as a 10.25 so I would say the 6.23 at 110 MPH's is for sure a high 9 second run. I guess you have to run it out the door next time and show us the big 9 second time slip.

Good luck and be safe!
