Default Fastest TEA Stage 1.5 in the country???

Previously we had ran a 10.62 @ 128.5 with a TNT 150 shot, we added an NOS 100 dry shot today, only picked up about 40-50 RWHP but that was enough to run a 10.10 at 133.5, 1.45 60' in a 97' C5 Corvette! I hope it is OK to post this, but the time has come for me to thank everyone involved in this project. I want to thank GOD for all he has given me, my wife Kelly, kids Michael and Drew, Brent for the long hours of helping me do everything, especially the DYNO TUNING, John Bewley for giving me motavation to work on the car when I would have rather sit on the couch at home, Josh Givens, Nic Alexander, Eric Derr, Earl Bowling, Darryl Stevens and Brian Patterson. We are going to try a few more things so we can go 9.90's at the Z06 fest here in Bowling Green next weekend. We will have a full detail on our website of the car for those who may be interested. And yes, that is still with the stock exhaust valves!

Wow!!! That is rolling.. I have very little knowledge of nitrous, but could the stock exhaust valve have hurt the 100 dry shot and that is why you picked up very little from it?

The stock exhaust valve flows more then the aftermarket units, so I don't think that could be it. However we have a NOS remote bottle opener and that may be a restriction. We will find out shortly.

Are you saying the stock 1.55 exhaust valves flow better than a after market 1.60? Or just better than a aftermarket 1.55?

There was nothing better than watching that car launch to a 1.45 60' and seeing the tail light cover pop off. It was unreal how that thing left the line.

Brian/Brent call me when your gonna be working on it this week after 4:30.

Yes the stage 1.5 valve flows more that aftermarket 1.55, 1.57 & 1.6. It's just not as durable as the aftermarket, but hey we went 10.10 on it and we are spraying 250.
