Default T-rex plus TnT150

I think the cam likes spray pretty well.
It was pure death out today. D/A 2,700 and very hot and humid.
But I still pulled off a 10.44@130 not to bad for a 1.54 60'

Yep But it was death out. I was running consistant 11.4's @119
but I swaped gears Friday night from 4:30's to 3:73's so I could spray it
And my 2 n/a runs were 11.6 and 11.7 @ 117
I know the times arent to steller, but for down here in so fl.
at Moroso, its not to bad. You have to remeber Lee ran a 10.7 here like 3 days before the shootout.

So you picked up 13 MPH from a 150 shot. I agree, it sounds like the T-Rex likes the juice just fine. Honestly, I'm a little surprised considering it's sizable overlap.

Good stuff, I'm considering a 100 shot with this cam once I get my drivetrain squared away. What are your shift points?

are you still on a stock bottom end with stock heads, if so i wouldnt recomend that large of a shot on that lsa, might be ok, but you will have alot of cylinder pressure. i was told to get a 113lsa cam for that much n20, talk to evil about it, he had the trex ground on a 113 for his n2o i believe.
