Thumbs up 92 degrees out and still ran in the 6's in the 1/8

Reached another goal yesterday, I wanted to get my car in the 10's/6's no matter what the weather and I dont think it could have been any worst then yesterday. Track is 1000' and it was 92 degrees, 60% humidity 29.92 barometer, ~3800 DA. Still ran a 6.97 @ 99 using the 50 shot, only made 2 passes before we got rained out so I didnt try it w/o the nitrous.

Car is really running decent, best thing I ever did was put the nitrous on here. I dont think even with mild/heads cam and the 7.5psi of boost I'm seeing now I would get in the 6s in this weather, its pretty brutal out here

small 1mb vid if youre bored

I just use an rpm switich to shut it off, 5900 is what I have in there now. My converter flashes to 4200 so no need for a window switch, its just on a WOT switch and the rpm switch shuts it off. I shift at 6500.

That 60' was a 1.55, thats what the car was was doing with the blower alone when it was 50 degrees out, heat really kills these things but the N2O makes up for the heat nicely

I have a random tech torque arm and wolfe double adjustable LCAs, thats pretty much it. Stock springs and shocks. I could use some LCA relocation brackets and get a little more anti squat going but it hooks pretty well so I just leave it.

Most of my suspension is the 9x28x15 ET drags. I hit a 1.51 last time at bowling green, when it cools off I think I can get 1.4's pretty easy.
