Radial or Bias ply?.

I see not springs or shocks, and I dont see the car leaving as hard as it can as for time.... mid 12's n/a and 11.8 n20. Providing quick and clean shifts.

I say if you can launch good youll be deep into the 11's no problem N/A. If you launch hard and THEN spray off the line as to not annihalate your tires I see no reason why you couldnt make a 10 second pass on the nitrous.

I went a 11.5x @ 118.8 Mph with 374 rwhp, hoosier drag slicks, 3.73's in a stalled auto. 100% stock suspension.

High 11s n/a

High 10s n20

FAST intake over LS6, maybe 15rwhp

As far as the 150 shot goes, only gaining 110 seems a little low. Depends alot on the kit and tune. I feel like you have room for improvement on this part of your setup.

I agree on the nitrous, I kept wondering why I am only getting 110 out of a 150 shot, I called a couple places and they told me that it doesn't give you a full 150 hp.....but I asked some guys on here and they told me it should.....so you think It has to do with the tunning? its a NX kit wet.....
