Default 10s for the first time....so sweet!

Well, after a whole year of trying I finally made it into the 10s with a 10.967 @ 129.6 on a 200 nitrous shot. Mods in my signature. Best ET and fastest mph I've ever been. I was previously running a 150 shot to get low 11s. I was debating whether or not to run the 200 shot on my Walbro pump and upgraded wiring harness because there were so many different opinions on this site. I decided to go for it anyway, added a 50/50 split of race gas and 94 octane, pulled 8 degrees of timing via a Timing Tuner and brought a couple of full nitrous tanks. The air was cool at about 60 degrees so I knew if I was ever going to get there it had to be now. The first 5 rounds were all in the 11.20 range and I thought no go. I switched to a new bottle and I knew as soon as I launched it felt like it was pulling like never before. I have to say when I got my time slip and saw that 10.96 I was jumping up and down! Just wanted to tell some guys that would understand.

P.S. Apparantly my Walbro Pump and upgraded harness had no problems with the 200 shot....no issues with A/F or fuel pressure all night.

Dang, I would think with all your mods you would be low 11s on motor, then in the 10s w/ a small shot. Whats the DA?

Default Everyone thinks I should be faster!

The details of the run are as follows: 60 ft 1.78, 1/8 = 7.15 @ 101.62, 1/4 = 10.96 @ 129.74. M/T Drag radials set at 18 llbs. QA1s set at "0" on the front and "3" on RR and "2" on LR. Normally I run 4 and 3 on the rear but set softer on the 10.96 run because the track was so slippery. Not sure of elevation - it states 330ft on the web site. Runs took place a small local track in Napanee, Ontario called Shannonville. Track prep is normally minimal so hooking is always a bit of a problem. My car weights 3900 llbs with me in it so it's definately not a lightweight. The rest of the mods are in my signature. If anyone has any suggestions for me to try I'd appreciate it.
