That's great man! Congrats!

When you get a chance, could you let me know what your tire height and rear gear ratio are and then give me a few RPM points at like 55/60/65mph? Thanks.

I just noticed in your sig that you have 3.90's. I guess I knew that but had forgotten. I also found in your thread that you have 275/60's.....so I've answered a few of my questions. So I guess what I'd be looking for is your rpm at those speeds in 3rd gear.....just for sake of comparison. Thanks man. Keep us posted on those times!

What was your pressure at the beginning of the run? Do you have a bottle warmer? I like my NX but I always have to take the generator and battery charger with me.

I got it up to about 950, but it would drop 50 pounds on a light purge. I have an NOS bottle heater and a blanket, but that heater is weak.

Bottle must be getting spent. I've had a 10lb bottle act that way even when it still had 3-4lbs in it.

Amazingly consistent with this new converter. Here are the motor passes:

AHHHHH! Where is that 15 mph gust from the back when you need it! A nice improvement anyway, but ohh so close to that 10.99. Do you feel like a 9.99 is in it ,after the bottle pressure is fixed? Did the launch feel solid on spray?
Anyway congrats on the new bests.

Thanx man. You know, I just don't know. It did not feel as locked up as the old converter. But, I will hold my opinion on that for some more testing.

Hey man, nice meeting you today. I saw a few of your runs and it looks like that new converter is getting it done.
I didn't get my 10's today due to the nitrous coming on and off through the run?? However the air was great and got best motor pass @ 11.72 @ 116. So digging into the nitrous wiring tomorrow and I think I'll see 10.8x on the 100 shot in my full weight pig.
I also got my warning today about 'that roll bar'

Yeah, the guy who runs the burnout box said I was pulling the left front about 6" all day. It felt nice and smooth.

With your 100 shot, you will have to pretty much hit it off of the launch to get your 10 second pass. You could hear it hit strong when it came in though.

Yeah, still babying the 10 bolt by spraying at about the 60' mark. It did trap a 125 so 10's are certainly doable. I must have some kind of short somewhere cause I could feel it hit, then bog, then hit, all the way down the track. Anybody bug you about "the bar" today?

Sounds like either your nitrous solenoid is cycling or maybe you have insufficient fuel system. What fuel pump do you have?

Unsure, previous owner told me it had an "upgraded pump and hot wire kit". Duty cycle @ 75% on stock injectors. I could definitely feel the car loading up so nitrous side is cycling w/fuel side still activated (if that makes sense).
