Yeah - I figured it would be better to tear into a car that was on its way to its grave, rather than a nice one. LoL

Not Really - Two kits should be fine. Its 1/8 mile racing. Gives the nitorus guys a chance to get out ahead. The Turbo guys have to build boost. It is allot of fun and allot of good racing

1/8th mile? Oh, then it should be pretty good, are there electronics like progressive controllers allowed?

What was that name of that one big nitrous solenoid? Super big shot? That thing is huge.

turbo cars can still run hard in the 1/8 mile, look at the LMR car it pulled a 1.2 60 ft. or BRADY F3/BBC combo thats running high 4's in the 1/8. good luck if it were me i would do something along the FI route.

Oh - I am not denying there fast as ****. I know Steven and Josh from LMR and have been at track with them a bunch and seen their car run. They just really haul in the 1/4 because they start to pull really hard on the big end

Man 2 super big shots with 2 progressive controllers, and spray the **** out of that thing, that would be fun to see, yes the turbo cars 60ft hard as well but you could really bring it in and tune it with a serious dose of gas.

Small block and 1,000 shot what do you think

Nitrous is so affordable, but I really think my next combo will be a LSX turbo.
