with the DA in GA a 12.99 pass then add 100 shot that car will run 11s,
we did it here in vegas w/a 6spd car granted it was a 150 shot but that only makes up for the shitty air up here!

With your 12.99, its is definitly possible, i can't speak for any other system then the NX, they hit HARD, last year (with old clutch) it was only going 13.5s every round, but my MPH was slowly fadeing, but my 60fts. stayed the same untill the last pass, 4K launch & clutch slipped pretty bad, still ran a 13.54, but my MPH faded to 99 , so i'm sure it'll run 12.99 all day NA now with the new clutch & have it re-tuned, right now its on a N2o tune, sorry no video's, i wish i had one, i think the left front almost saw "air", i know theres DEFINITLY an 11 in it now, i only left @ 2500, i was going to pill it for 125, screw that, its f$ckin hailin the mail on 100, its a very safe shot, engine loves it, so i ain't messin with it, there is also more MPH left in it too, i felt the Nitrous kick out around the 1200-1250ft. mark, its set to turn off at 5600, i didn't mess with the window switch, Ray @ Nitro-Daves said thats a big NO-NO, so i took his advice, he said just start launching up in 500 RPM incromments, you'll get into the N2o sooner & sooner, then watch your 60fts. drop & drop, & that it did, the MPH just amazes me , were talking all stock valvetrain & cam, all i will say is (along with other things ), If you haven't put the bottle on yet, or too scared too do it, " JUST DO IT" & don't look back, just NEVER get greedy, do your homework, make sure it has fuel, set the tune, run beter gas, or at least a mix, get a bottle heater & window switch, TR6 plugs set @ .035", Oh & again, "DON"T GET GREEDY".

Lm97z you still have more in your setup you get the 60ft down more and it will be in the 11s trust me! My car and my buddies car both on a 100 shot cut 1.6 60fts consitent on the 100 shot and go 7.4s in the 1/8th and 11.6s to 11.7s in the 1/4! Mine is a m6 his is an auto. Also we are both running HSW kits.

You are only hitting 11.6 - 11.7 with 7.4 1/8th times? You should be in the 11.3 -11.4 range with that 1/8th time. My car ran 11.7x with a 7.6x 1/8th time - 1.64 60 ft.

Give me the rundown on these cars? Yeah i know theres more in it now, i just couldn't believe it, i'm sure it'll go a solid 11.8x in the low 1.7s, i even felt the nitrous kick out before the end.

If you launch at 3000 on the spray it will 60ft in the 1.6s which going from 1.8s to 1.6s would get you into the 11s! Nothing special. Mine going from 1.7 60fts to low 1.6s picked up 3 tenths but I also went from a bigger gear that I spun alot with to a smaller one that helped me hook! Guys feel free to make fun but it worked. I went from going sideways down the track to hooking and going straight! I have alot more work done now but have not been back to the track. Also not trying to down your times just wanting to help you get the most out of your setup!

I know your not downing my times, what makes me happy is i'm doing this with a stick car, i dropped .2 tenths off my 60ft. just raiseing the launch 1000 RPM, & netted .5 off its time, so if i can get it to hook leaving at 3000, i'm sure they will drop more & if i can get into the 1.65 60ft. range, that should net an 11.7, i won't be going back anytime soon, but when i do & all goes well, i'll hopefully get that 11 second slip. either way, i'm very very happy with what i ran with this ol'e turd

Yeah my car is a M6 with a 9in rear and I launch around 3000 on the spray it pulled consistent 1.6 60fts on stock suspension. Now I have all uprgraded adjustable suspension Im hopeing for 1.5 60fts this year we will see! Just play with the tire pressure and launch it harder it will go 11s!

Just having a full bottle might get you 11's. There's less chance that the pressure is dropping as much by the end of the run.

I'll start increasing the launch RPM, sence i've got this thread going, i have another ?, maybe you guys can give some imput, i was thinking of getting some ET streets when the hoosiers wear down, i'm looking at the 27x10.50s, this should get me through the 1/4 with ease, but i'm limited to getting 15" rims, is there any stock style steel wheels that will work? this will rase from an 82 too 85 circ., but the ET streets will grow @ the big end over the DRs, this should give me another 2" advantage. Your thoughts???
