I wouldn't consider a 1.43 60' 'working'. LMAO.

It's pretty basic. It has a KTRE 12-Bolt, QA1 shocks, stock springs, Wolfe Sway-Bar, Wolfe Dbl. Adj. Cntrl. Arms, BMR Extreme Duty Torque Arm, and a Hotchkis Panhard Bar.

congrats on the times. get that 60' down in the 1.2x range and a bit more spray and you should be in the .60-.70 range.

We should see some .70's with suspension tuning and some .50's with N20 tuning. Man would that be sweet.

What kind of progressive controller?

I've got a delay in my NOS controller that I need to trace. I know 2 others that had a similiar problem. One was ground related and the other was MSD window switch.

Believe it or not Eric that is why we went with the 2nd hit over a progressive...No tune type issues...One out of the hole and the second on a timer or RPM switch.
Same amount of Juice just more NOIDS...

Running out of gear/not getting nitrous out of the hole tends to make the mph look low.. Hints the low trap/mild et..

Ben - y'all ever had any issues with it wanting to delay and are you running an MSD window switch?

This is the first time we've ever had a problem with it. But then again It was just rewired. Yes we are running a MSD brand window switch.

I think its because my ON pill was at 3500, and it fell down to fast. But then again I'm not sure. What did you have to do?

Chris,

I haven't figured my delay out yet. Taner has the same controller and had a delay that was due to a grounding issue. Someone else told me they had the same issue and solved it when they bypassed the MSD window switch. I'm trying to avoid that. When I figure mine out I'll let you know.

I'm along the lines of thinking it's something with my window switch. Thanks for the responses, now back to the congrats for Chris.
