very nice results...We had planned to get to the track and see similar results today with my fathers H/C/N20 car, but weather was too shady.

skinnies has the video on his camera. I'm going to bug him everyday for it! I want to see it just as bad!


and a properly built 400 is one thing. I'm not even 21 and this is my first tranny I built that had to be put to a real test. It could blow up tomorrow and I wouldnt care. Knowing that i built it and I will learn more from it is everything.

I would think there would be someone faster but you never know. I hold the fastest stock longblock (stock heads and stock cam) with spray record with just bolt-ons, a TH-400, 12-bolt, all suspension and a 3300lb raceweight. The fastest it went on a 200 shot was

6.49 @ 105 in the 1/8th and 10.28 @ 127 in the 1/4...this was with a 1.41 60'

Get some better weather and it'll definitly be in the low 10's

I really don't think you can correct for DA quite the same as N/A or FI cars. Nitrous cars make their own cold air. I'm sure lower DA will help some, but I don't think it will help that much. Just my .02

Congrats, nice pass!

I agree on correcting a nitrous run for the DA since nitrous seems to work better when the air is warmer versus cold days. Only one way to find out though....

I figure it correcting to half of what it says.

I just use corrected times as a control for seeing the difference in mods.
