Here's a video of the car's very 1st spray pass with the new combo from Saturday... my good buddy and engine builder was kind enough to take it down the track for me to make sure it was safe for me to drive

Those are some really good times, considering it was only a 150 shot. How much do you plan on stepping up the nitrous?

Good work, but that Mustang was hauling some major ***.

Actually the Mustang ran a 10.0... but won at the tree

I plan on hitting it with a 250HP shot... I don't want to spray more through the ring kit... I might move up to a direct port, but am worried about my poor 700R4 OD tranny

That Mustang was also running wheelie bars. Both of them hauled *** though. Very nice!

Nice et/mph for that weather, weight, and DA! When it cools down and the DA settles you should pick up a nice amount of power.

Is this a stock LS7 block that has not been resleeved?

Thanks...crazy wheelstands make for cool photos, but don't do much for ET's and are out right dangerous We are doing our best to keep the car nice and straight as well as keep the nose down... race weight is ~3400lbs...
