I pulled everything out and rewired the entire system. I did find a few problems that I don’t know how I managed to so but I had a hot wire tied into a ground wire in one spot, it must have been when I added my progressive controller but I took all that crap out.

Lets hope that fixed it.

Well i'm just getting home and I can tell you I got the nitrous fixed and the new tires work great!!! Well every thing worked a little to good. On my first pass I was just hitting it to the 60' mark to see how the new tiers hooked and they did. The car did a wheel stand so high everyone said they could see my front tires over the 3' barrier. It cought me off guard so much that my foot came off the gas, when it came down I got back in it and it came up again!!! Two more runs with a passenger and it blew the tires off so I lowered the PSI. On the 4th pass I heated the tires good because I wanted another big wheel stand and stay in it BUT it did hook hard so hard that it broke my universal and took out my tranny.

Its over at Matt's house right now the guy with the flat black mustang. He is going to have it apart and let me know what is going on with it today. The only thing that concerns me is it would not fire back up after it broke.

That last part doesn't sound good. Matt will have you running 9's, after a few upgrades.

Actually it did restart 2 times after it broke but after it sat for about 10 min it would not. I am sure Matt will have it figured out soon.
