track results with nx dp kit!! First problem of the night came when I found out that my bottle heater wasn't working, but I tried to manage with out. I had two ten pound bottles that were full. First run, bottle pressure was at 1100 but dropped to 850-875 at the end, and I ran a 11.26 @123 w/ 1.75 60'. Second run I changed the bottle, lowered tire pressure to 10psi from 12psi, and opened the bottle to a 950 psi. Second run I ran 11.02 @123 with a 1.66 60', and bottle pressure dropped to just above 900. I am spraying a 200 shot, and the car was tuned at 1050psi. Last time I went to the track my bottles were warmer but, never more than a 1000psi and I trapped @126. Any ideas on how much hp I am losing going from 1050psi to 900psi? If I get my 60' down to a a 1.50, is there a possibility of going 10.50's @ 127-128-129?

Did you trap 126 with the 6 speed or the th400? How was the weather compared to the 126 run? I would say you are down 1.5-2 from the bottle pressure but not the 4-6 mph you are looking for unless you you get a way better DA.

Don't get defensive man, you asked a question and he gave you his opinion. BTW, his car is faster than yours, he runs low 10s.

If you can get your 60ft down to a low 1.5 you will probably run a 10.9 possibly a high 10.8. You'll get better times when the weather cools off, if the car stays consistant maybe a 10.7, not to bad.

The weather was actually alittle cooler, but I had probably a 12-15mph wind coming right at me. I gained 2.5mph in the 1/8th but lost 3mph in the 1/4

WIth 200 pills the car should be making over 600rhwp...Is it even doing that? I see its a LT1 car....What ar ethe specs of a zz409?

To get the car into the 10's that 60 foot has to come down.

you were spinning with the 27" tall tire causing you to trap a higher mph.
with everything in check and a better 60ft i see 10.50's easy.
get it all worked out falconey

You would also want to take a look at the convertor a 10in is pretty big.That will hurt your 60ft.And the cam is not the best choise for nitrous you want a split duration.
