I have a 2000 z28 comaro, egr, a.i.r, delete. front sway bar taken off. H/C/I, 150 shot, M/T radial, LCA, LCA relocating brackets, subfram conectors, cold air intake, 3.73 gears, 3200 stall. My question is look at my time slips and explain what happened please, 1st nitrous pass at 10:08pm
1.647-60ft
101.99 mph
7.014-1/8 mile
2nd pass at 10:51pm
1.568-60ft
98.33mph
7.055-1/8 mile

I'm wanting to get into the 6s, thought for sure I would get their with that 60ft, what happened, why did my mph slow down, what do I need to do?

105 1st run , 980 2nd run, would that have made that much diffrence?

Just a guess but according to your 60' in the 2nd run, the car hooked, which in turn could have bogged the motor down in a certain rpm range. And then with bottle pressure and how much I had in the bottle, could have laid it over.

In the 1st run I left at 2000 rpm and the 2nd I left at 2500, It hooked good in the 1st run but when the nitrous hit it spun just a very small bit.

Get the car to hook, that's the first step. Consistently doing everything the same. Make small changes but write them down that way u know if it works or not.

There's your answer. When I spin I have worse 60ft times and higher trap speeds. The opposite is true as well. Better 60fts equal lower trap speeds (generally)

Did you check bottle pressure before and after each run?
