Default Less nitrous+ $200 in suspension= better ET in ARE 383

Jetted down to a 100 shot. The theory was that i was pushing too much HP for the car as well as myself. Jetted to a 100 shot, full tank of gas, new LCAs and panhard, No nitrogen push system tonight. Was a lil chilly so bottle pressure was low.

First pass was nearly picture perfect. Left hard...hit the juice a little late...but the car went straight down the track for once. One to two shift was a little slow. Other than taht it was great.

1.629
6.946
102.14
10.798
127.51

Next run was with a passenger and Nos was running low.
1.580<<<my first 1.5 wooohooo
6.955
100.40
10.866
125.64
It has become somewhat a consistant car with $200 in LCAs and panhard. All other suspension is stock as is the rear end. Still had the SS chrome wheels up front with Salad shooters and ET streets out back. Tq arm is next up. At that point ill put a 150 shot on it and get some skinnies in the front. Obviously there is a lot left to be had. Motor will take a 300 shot. I think I may make 9s this year with a lil luck. Starting to get some confidance in my driving as well as the car. Actually..when its going straight...it aint that hard.

U r smart for taking your time to dial the car in for max ET.I'm sure u will have your 9 Sec pass once its finalized..

Thanks guys. I am going back next Thursday and put the 140 shot pills back on. I think I have learned enough to give it another shot. Hoping for the lower half of tens now. If I could cut another high 1.5 like my second run with the full shot and nitroen system working properly I dont think 10.4 at 131 would be out of the question. Well..that is my goal atleast.

Damn, I keep missing all of the fun. Great times! It looks like the suspension stuff paid off well. Hopefully I will back out bye next week.

Great runs! You should look at full slicks <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
WAY more consistent than ET streets.

Chris...that will be in my future. Right now I am still on the stock rear so I dont want to push my luck.

Im going again this thursday, gonna jet back up to a 150 shot and run skinnies along with the Nitrogen push system. Hopefully I can see the lower half of the tens...without breaking the rear. <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">
