Default First time out, new setup

Setup in sig.

125 shot

1.54 60'
6.42 @ 109.8
10.03 @ 135.13

Didn't spray till about the 60' mark and had some good tire shake.

Converter is a Circle D 5C. I was worried it would slip to much, but so far it looks good. On motor it flashes to about 5500.

oh yeah, stock front wheels with 245's on them

does the DA really matter with juice...i mean your 02 ratio is through the roof on a shot...

so a car on a 100 shot with 0 da will have the pretty much the same ratio at 2000+...oxygen wise

I have always questioned it as well. I more or less use the same DA correction for a baseline regarless. N2o can make it's own atmosphere bascially, but I wonder what it does to the air pressure, as that is where the biggest change in DA comes from.

It is actually about 2950 now with me in it.

I had some issues with my drop spindles and my strange brakes. So I took everything off and put on the stock spindle, brakes and even the 245's.

DA doesn't effect nitrous cars that much at all. It's fun to see some people try and correct a nitrous run with a +2000' DA down to 0' DA

Nice runs. That solid roller cam with hydraulic lifters looks to be a rising trend. Glad it's running strong!
