Default Lookin for 10s tonight!

Going to the track tonight..Hope to see a 10sec slip but who knows lol. Last time out I tore the clutch out, couldnt shift it and went 11.64 @ 124 Granny Shiffting, launching off an idle, (the car would roll of I tryed to give it throttle with the clutch down) and bottle pressure was crap, My warmer didnt have enough time to get hot I guess..

Best motor has been 11.62@119, now Iv added a 100 shot, Id like to step up to a 150 but everyones talking me out of it. Not bad for a car that still has AC and all the goodies!! Ill post vids tm!

What do you guys think? 10.9s maybe??

Set your goal at 11.0 if you get the extra tenth be happy.

On paper you should be good but we all know how that works out.

Why are people shying you away from the 150? fuel suply?

Yeah thats how I am..Be happy with 11.000s..I think traction is going to be my biggest issue, my local track doesnt have the best prep but who know it might be tonight! On the nitrous, they are worried because of how hard Iv been on it, turning it 6800 and launching it like off the limiter all the time...Im not too worried but the shop that does my work talked me out of the 150..

Should have taken the 150 pills!!

I was afraid you wern't going to make it. .7 on a mid 11 car is certainly possible but everything would need to be perfect. Obviously traction being the main thing and certainly you didn't have the best last night.

Thats really close, sounds like you should delay the n2o to get traction, then have it come on. It's not easy to hookup a stick car with n2o anywhere but it's possible. I would definately go to a bias tire like ET streets or ET drags for a stick. Once you get the car to 60' well you could go low 10's on 150HP. Later
