This was my first time at the track with the nitrous. I was running on 245 50 16 kumho ecsta supras. lol
I'm spraying a 100 shot and my bottle pressure was at 825. How much would that low of bottle pressure hurt me?

First, those khumo suck major ***. I had them before and could not hook worth a crap. Bring that pressure up to 1000psi and get some sticker tires and you will def. be in the mid to high 11's easily.

I knew the Kumhos sucked major *****, but I was more concerned about my trap. I was hoping for some high teens or low twenties but instead got 116 and 117. Could the bottle pressure hinder me that much or is my car just weak?

the pessure should be up, if you bring the pressure up to atleast 1000psi no more than 1150psi, you will see a higher trap

Is nobody impressed that I cut a 1.8 60' spraying out of the hole on street tires? Is this common?

I know a 1.8 isn't that impressive for Dragradials/ ET streets, but with 87 dollar Kumhos. lol

and ImportPatrolWS6, what type of mph should I pick up?

Man, I dunno how anyone could be upset about those times or that trap speed. You're squeezing a 100 shot, and you ran a 117 mph trap. I mean that's as high or higher then a Viper GTS, and that 60' on street tires while spraying out of the hole is insane. Is this car an automatic or a manual?

I would think you can end up around 119 if you bring the psi to about 1100
