I've had blower cars, blower nitrous cars (the best), nitrous cars, and all motor cars....

ill take blower/nitrous over any of them, but nitrous > blower all day. Especially for a daily driver. I dont "race" daily like most people who drive around in their modified ****.

Its all personal preference.

10.60 on a 150 dry shot. On a 300 shot, it pulled a 1.34 / 60' and didn't shift, hitting the rev limiter ( 7400 ) plus melted most of the plugs... That's why I'm upgrading the fuel system before I try that again ! LOL
Testing the limits of a forged bottom end ! LOL
As far as the wheelie wheels, I've stood it on the back bumper... Comes down pretty hard...

Bill if you put some travel limiters on the car you probably won't need the wheelie bars at all. Looks like you're at full stock downtravel on the front.

I did pick up the hardware to add limiters and I'm also adding a bump stop in the shock tower above the upper control arm, to prevent bottoming out. I just installed a CM K-member w/ a manual rack and lost another 95 lb in the nose...

I run nitrious my car similar set up to JL's but less compression,and lets say I fair very well against other type of power adders on the street.I ripped a new zo6 with a blower on it like he was in reverese From my experience nitrious gets it done yes its pain if you use the bottle alot to change but when it hits it makes all worth while.

Now now lets be fair here. New z06 plus a huffer at 6lbs. I will go out on a limb and say its making in the ballpark of 700.. I am going to take a wild guess and say your car is an auto? You should be proud of yourself. I think there are so many varibles in a so called street race. Being a manual car I would be amazed if the car hooked up on the street...

I just hope you were on your way to a NOS refill station so you could fill the bottle back up.

Guys I am not trying to win this... I know I cant. I just dont think nitrous makes any kind of sense on a street car other than the ghetto factor of being able to hit it a couple times and smile. Than its back to the refill station spending 4.50 a lb...

The important thing to remember as long as you guys like snapper as much as I do your alright with me. Just so you know I just love being blown and stroked all the time vs. being a little laughy and having to shell money everytime I want the laugh... LOL

I can believe it. Wouldnt be proud of yourself to go after a car who had street tires on it. At 60mph and me on street tires you would have ran miles from me before I got traction... Equal tires and manual tranmission the bolwn Z06 spanks you pretty dam hard. I still dont think your car is as light as a c6Zo6 I dont care how much weight reduction you did. And the aero drag of your car vs. a ZO6 is another loss. Most Z06 cars I know go through the traps in the top of third so I dont even think any gearing you would have would help you. So he has you in every catagory maybe you got the magic f-body...
