How many shoot off the line? At the track how do you guys engage your nitrous? I tried an 100 shot with a 3,200 pill and it blew up my rear end and my tranny!

I have a 2800 stall, progressive controller setup to start spraying 60% power at 2000 RPM's ramping to 100% power in 2 seconds shooting a 175 shot. Have had no problems except traction occasionally, but it's a little harder to get traction in a 2wd truck.

I wouldn't recommend hitting a 100 or 150 shot at 3000 rpm. That is a hole lot of stress on those rods from the torque. I had my pills set at 3800. I had a friend with a Z06 used to hit it at 3000 and not long after put a rod out the the side of the block.

I was looking at my last all motor run scanning with EFILive. I am almost to the 60' mark at 5,000 rpms and going 30 mph. If I get my tranny working good again, I thought about putting in a 5,000 or 5200 rpm pill. My rpms never drop below that again through the rest of the run.....Anyone try that?

If you really want the best ET performance you'll be launching on the gas. 40% of your elapsed time on the track will be spent from the 0 - 330 mark which is only 25% of the total track. You'll make the biggest gains in dropping your ET by focusing on the most power the soonest. I don't see the logic behind the comment not to use a 3000 pill.
