Here is a pass for everyone to see. This was my best and only full N20 pass. It was only the first stage (100 shot) as I poped the second stage fuse as soon as I hit the button (Tried to spray 300). I did not spray out of the hole either, closer to the 60'. I could have made one more pass but I am pushing water from the radiator when on the unit. I think I have a small leak with a head gasket and the added cyl pressure on the bottle is pushing in to the the radiator causing the cap to lift slightly.

I'll be pulling the motor out and apart just to do some looking at bearings, rings, rod bolts ect just to make sure everything looks ok. I put 20 passes on it this weekend, 13 last time, 30-40 dyno pulls and lots of tunning else where.

Here are all the passes we got on video..

Best pass on motor was 11.9x @ 113
Best (only decent N20 pass, lots of issues) was 11.28 @ 115mph spraying a 100 shot from the 60' mark. Tried grabing all 300 after the 1-2 shift but the fused poped in the direct port.

Here is a detailed spread sheet showing all the times from this weekend. N20 passes are in Blue, only one was at full pressure. Red backrounded items are things that I feel were out of the norm and could be improved. IE the 11.2x N20 pass, I shortshifted 2-3 and only gained 19.x mph where even on the motor I'm gaining an average of 21.x on the back half.
