New best 1/8th mile. i think she has 10's in her went to the local(ish) 1/8th mile yesterday to do my first ever nitrous pass
car has old patriot 5.3's, f11 cam, macs, bolts on, etc with a a 9" and 4.30's (motor has 102k on it). on motor it averages in the 11.5xxx range at 121ish with a best et of 11.46 @ 122 on a 1.68 60' and a best mph of 124.56. 1/8th are usually in the 7.45-7.50 @ 93ish
had my new tires on (28x1050x15 et drags) and did a couple motor runs and couldnt get it to hook. was running 7.5-7.6 at 93-94 on 1.8x 60's. finally figured out the tires and shocks and on the first pass on nitrous is cut a 7.16 @ 98.25 on a 1.62 60'. im only spraying 75 cause i havent pulled timing from the NA tune. kinda pissed cause i missed my 6.999 pass twice. the next two nitrous runs i cut a 1.55 and a 1.57 and missed 2nd on both of them. definitely the hardest the car has ever left and i wasnt ready for the shift. launching harder i think it has 1.50-1.52 in it
had to stop there cause the new tires were rubbing a little so i had to call it a day. im gonna fix the clearance issues and go back and be ready to shift this time. funny how you can have a few hundred track passes in the same car and add some power and it goes right back to like you never drove it before
anyways im happy, thought i would share

Yeah there is a high 10 in it, just work on those 60fts., i'll assume your running a 6sp. because you mentioned you missed 2nd. gear, whats been done to that 9" 3rd. member, is it a "Nodular"?
