Default Time to up the Nitrous..or Gears?

Im stuck in the 11.1s lol...

MS4, 4:10s, 28in ET Street(No Tubes) Started at 16 PSI..ended at 14, 100 Shot..

All night I cut 4 back to back 1.67 60fts..and ran 11.11 11.15 11.17 and 11.19 in that order..MPH was all around 124, when I had 4:56 and NA I was trapping 118-119 in the same weather..IDK Should I add more gear or nitrous or both lol

I know track prep is everything but the MPH is kinda disappointing

Get those et streets traded out for some some et drags and throw some 150 jets in there

curious because my setup is similar to yours, how are you launching on the nitrous? Right off the line or on a delay? and how hard are you dumping your clutch?

How does your tune look? How much timing on the spray and what AFR? You're killing the tires off the line, you need to do a fast slip and not dump the clutch so hard. I can cut a 1.8 60' with a dump but if I do a quick smooth release to not shock the tires I have cut 1.62 60' with a lowered car on stock slp bilsteins. This is especially important when the track prep is not perfect.

Edit: I almost forgot, my car was cutting 1.85-1.9 60' times and I didn't know what the hell was going on as it was cutting 1.65-1.7 last year. I ended having twisted splines on my slip yoke. This would put my suspension in a bind and cause all sorts of problems. I also removed my bump stops as I was slamming my axles tubes. Do you have bump stops?

Check to make sure your yoke slides on your output shaft with out binding.

Your 60ft's will drop with ET drags. I would put a 2-step controller on and also up the shot to a 150 hit.

Its got a window switch on it 3000-6400, and Im spraying in first, No Delay. I drive this car a lot so Im not sure If Id want to ET Drags on it lol.

I have a 2 step but not sure how I can use it with the Nitrous just yet. Im trying to figure a way to wire it in so I can jump on the 2 Step and it not spray until the clutch pedal is released.

Iv been able to side step it about 5000 or so and I did a quick slip and the 60 went from a 1.67 to a 1.70, I cut 4 1.67s kinda funny lol.. out of 6 passes 4 were the same. Last month I cut a 1.52 with a better track and dumping at 5500, but IDK what was wrong. Ill pull the DS and check it, whats everyone run for yokes?

As far as the tune..Idk..I would like to hope its spot on, the plugs look good but Iv never pulled them right after a run because I have to drive the car back around..Im only going through the traps at like 6000..Thats why I wanted 4:30s but Im a kid and dont know anything...

Before i spend any money i would up the shot and see how the car acts. I bet you end up around 6400-6600rpms on 150 shot going thru the traps.

If you look at the instructions for the lingenfelter LNC-002 they have a wiring diagram for what you want

For the 2 step just tie the wot switch fe the nitrous to one of the ground wires to the clutch switch. That's how I have mine. Only drawback is that you bypass the saftey feature and u can start the at without the Clutzh pushed in. But it's a habit for me to push it in on start up anyways. I can take pics if needed.
