You must be pretty damn high up in the mountains. Because it should be able to run that without the N20. You should also be trapping a hell of a lot higher too.

I don't think that we need to worry about driving skill. He's got an auto and pulled a 1.7 60'. The car should easily be running 11's. He's either at the top of Mt. Everest or has some major problems with the car.

Most def something wrong there, did you say you're on a dry shot? I thought our pcm's couldn't keep up with a dry shot?

I would def say you should be in the 11's. Just to throw this out, but at the track last weekend there was a Ls1 with a 75 shot, exhaust, moser 9'' and slicks and he pulled 11.9's all night. He didn't even have cold air, headers etc etc..You should pull better times no doubt!

I still think its on the rather large scale. The key is match the stall to the cams usable rpm range. Not saying I wouldn't run it, or that its waaayy to big, just not my first choice. Plus look at his trap speed, I'd say something is off drive train wise...

ur tune could be lost but doubtfull, and yea u should be mid 12's motor and mid 11's on spray. ur 60 ft is even crappy with a 125 shot my 60ft was a 1.6 with a nitto dr. bur either way ur mph is extremely low, id say run the car on motor at the track and then run it on nitrous then post times up here and we can help. but u should easily run mid 11's with spray atleast a 114mph+
