You will win. Try shifting from 1st to 4th to keep it interesting.

I understand that....my only thing is, if the op can take him without the bottle, then why waste it? Not only that, he can run once without it, then run again with it. Closer races are more fun IMO also. And wouldn't shutting up an arrogant sob about him using a bottle and still losing be fun in its own right?

There's no such thing as wasting nitrous .. it's always fun. Unless you go around purging, of course. I guess I'm just overly competitive.

You guys do realize the OP has a MS3 cam and ported and polished heads along with full bolt ons right? You shouldent even have to ask. I predict you win from 60-120 by 8-10 cars

Exactly what I was thinking. Even w/o the bottle on the 'bird it will be a 250-300 rwhp car vs. a 400-450 rwhp car with better gears.

My post number 8 (first one by me).

I must admit, I didn't notice the MS3 though.

Well as promised we ran the race and here are the results. We ran from a 35 mph roll, as soon as we jumped I instantly pulled ahead of himby 3-4 cars and kept pulling from him. I ended up beating him by 8-9 cars, all of this on a 100 shot (we decided to up it). We stopped to talk a bit about the run and the we decided to run it with him uping the jets to a 125 shot. As soon as we hit the gas I jump ahead again and pulled on him the whole way and i beat him by 7-8 cars again. I had fun and it was funny to shut em up for a while. Needless to say he wants an LS1
