Got 2 really good passes in last night. Swapped to a fresh bottle set progressive to leave on 30% of a 200 shot with a 2.5 second ramp enjoy:

Yes about to order them from innovative racecraft. Down loaded the logs and videos this morning. If it leaves on the kit it comes up.

Limiters are a crutch for shocks with improper valving. I would imagine you would save yourself quite the headache getting them revalved or going with a different shock in front. We had hell with limiters because the shocks just had too much potential energy in the front. PM me if you want to talk about it more.

We plan on swapping front struts I am waiting on viking double adjustable fronts to become available for the car. Right now it has strange singles on the front and viking doubles on the rear.

HD video of all but the first run from friday night. The first one looked just like the last but it didn't rip the bumper cover off. Enjoy!

Jesus that car is trying to eat the rear bumper. You guys try pulling a couple degrees of timing for .5 or so to calm it down at the hit? I bet she would ride out nice with 2-3 degrees pulled for .5-.7 off the brake. In addition to what youre already pulling. If you dont want to do that you could always lower the bottle pressure 10-20 psi to see if that helps. Hooking too much is a good problem to have unless youre trying to race for money.

only have 5 nitrous with the car we worked our way from 50% back to 25% on the hit. Going to make some suspension adjustments and see where it gets us. We are only pulling 8 degrees right now with the kit. Pulling timing off a timer is possible with the ignition, but would need some creative wiring.

Finally, ordered limiters to try and keep nose down. Also ordered a new gas pedal. Maybe now the car will actually go full throttle all the time! If you are swapping a sn-95 don't use the stock pedal.

What's wrong with the stock pedal? Not enough travel?
