Guys just to clear a few thing ups here...

Its Nostalgia Pro Street and depending on the motor size you can run from a .032"(300 or so) to .048" jet allowed on a 525ci or smaller motor. A good 632ci can make 1320+ HP w\o nitrous and 1600+ on the nitrous with a .032" and very capable of going 8.50@165 N\A and 7.4x@188-190 MPH all at 3300+ lbs.

Our shop helps out the Colletta team and my shop forman is his crew cheif and engine builder. Collette has the ET\speed record which he reset this weekend from what he had before this race and #1 in points.

Oh well on the testing Robin I know you will get the problem fixed quick Will be calling you this week to talk.

They kicked a rod out of the engine on the first pass!

Kinda doubt it. Last year's champ Tony Nesbitt made a motor-only pass last year during a semi-final bye run to check out parts, and ran a mid-8 second pass.

John,

Good point, but I'm not sure. I'd think mid to bottom 9's at least before the spray, b/c it's not like a 400 shot on an 10 second N/A car would pick-up enough to compare to a 400 shot on a high 8 second N/A car. I'm just a slight insider since I write the reviews for that class.

Yes the cars with engines above 530ci to 632ci can only use a 32 nitrous Jet (300+ hp) but the cars with engines below 530ci get to weigh less and run a 48 nitrous Jet (600+ hp)! So the small engine combos will run alot slower without the Nitrous than the big cube engines!

144mph on a new combo N/A pass is moving, watch the video. I imagine .044 jets will get it close to where it needs to be.
