Default Finally broke 12's!

My first day back at the track was both good and bad, sort of. My first run of the day N/A I ran a 13.9 @ 106. I'm not even going to post the 60' <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> . The car runs horrible on the first pass, always does. Second pass on nitrous was:

RT 1.146 <img border="0" alt="[boring]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_zzz.gif" />
60' 2.141
330' 5.592
660' 8.3342 @ 89.46
1320' 12.694 @ 114.25

This run was made on Kuhmo Ecsta 712's with a half full and ice cold bottle of nitrous (100 shot). I haven't had time to hook up the bottle warmer yet. My next trip to the track I'll have Nitto's and 1000psi of bottle pressure.

Do you think I can break 11's?

My buddy this weekend in a cam only car run 11.998 on a 1.71 60ft with 114mph. So I would say its possible with a GOOD LAUNCH. But if your bottle was cold and lets say with warm pressure you can pull 116 mph then that would make it MUCH easier... Maybe only a 1.8 60ft or so..

There was only about 3 pounds in my 10 pound (capacity) bottle and it was 30 degrees outside. That was the bottle temp. With a full bottle and a heater, I'm thinking my mph will be somewhere around 117. I went 13.0 @ 107mph N/A. A 100 shot is supposed to be good for 1 second and 10mph. I think I should hit 11's with drag radials. We'll see...

I say get some drag radials at least and you can run 11's. My best with drag radials,free mods and nitrous is 11.85 @ 115 . My vote is the times will be yours,good luck. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
