Track results from my first 150 shot nitrous passes Finally got to make a few passes on the 150 shot last night. Pretty pleased with the results considering I have a couple of areas to work on to better take advantage of the combination. Learned a couple of things and will make some tweaks on the window switch settings and possibly some small adjustments on the suspension. Also, as expected I'm on the rev limiter before I go through the traps.
Now , on to the track passes! I need to work on getting the nitrous to come on right when I leave. Seems to be a slight delay before it hits ( I played with the window switch settings some) still need to work on that. I want it to hit the tires while the suspension is in motion and help plant the tires. Right now its coming in a couple of feet out and allowing the car to unload some, and then tries to "knock" the tires off
As expected, I am also on the rev limiter before the end of the 1/4. Just depends on how hard it knocks the tires off determines how soon I'm on the limiter on the other end. Out of four passes, the distance where I had to lift to stay off the limiter was any where from say 30' to as much as a good 100'
Made four passes, weather in the low 90s and down in the mid 80s after sunset and humid as hell. DA probably in the 1600-1800 ft range.
Car is knocking the tires off so I'm not getting much gain in my 60 ft times (when I get my suspension tweaked in and the hit coming in sooner) the car will be more impressive with a decent 60 ft that I know it is capable of. For a heavy *** car ( 3775 lb raceweight) it has some potential even on the 150 shot.
1st pass- 10.73 @ 128.06 mph on a horrible 1.72 60 ft. 1/8th mile was 6.96 @ 104.77 mph (knocked the tires off pretty hard)
2nd pass- 10.37 @ 131.04 mph on a better but not good 1.55 60 ft. 1/8th mile was 6.64 @ 105.21 mph.
3rd pass- 10.53 @ 129.98 mph on a 1.60 60 ft. the 1/8th mile was 6.82 @ 105.88 mph
4th pass- 10.37 @ 131.58 mph on a 1.61 60 ft. the 1/8th mile was 6.67 @ 106.48 mph
My average pass on motor in this heat is usually around 11.30- 11.40 @ 120.00 on a 1.65-1.68 60 ft. So, as you can see I am not gaining much at all in the 60 ft times on the spray. If I can get it to 60 ft in the 1.40s I should easily run 10.0s- 10.10s.
I am also losing time on the big end when on the limiter
I think I should be able to get some 9.90s fairly easily if I get these two issues lined out.
I'm stoked, it was a blast! Car felt really good on the spray. Not too bad for a 3800 lb heavy "Pig" hehehe!

Yeah, I posted 2 videos (poor quality) down in a thread in the 10 sec club category. They are not real impressive because the car didn't pick up as it should have in the 60 ft, the nitrous came on a little late and was spinning the tires some.
Hopefully I can get some next time out with the wheels up a little better

I also still want to chase for a 10.9x pass on motor when the air gets good here for the next few months. I think the 4.11s will be to my advantage to reach that goal. Then, I will change to the 3.73s and see what that does for the nitrous passes.
