Thanks! I need to get it back to the track ASAP with the changes I've made

I put some hy-gard in it to tighten the converter a few hundred, and finally took out the 6qts of 30w dino and put 5qts of german castrol 0w30 in it with a truck filter. Re-set the lifter preload, I had over 1/4 turn on one of the intakes I loosened up the crank trigger clearance, i was getting some weird flat spots in the datalog in the 6500+ revs. Also got an alignment the car needed it extremely badly, plus a few other tricks...

Oh yea, a dry nozzle and .052 .062 .073 jets are on the way. This is a nitrous motor after all

I hear tuning the spray with corn is a little more tricky.

Should be fun getting there though. You gonna start with a 200ish and creep up on it?

i'll start on the 52 jet and keep it real conservative on the timing with a -8 plug. 62 and up will go with a -9. I think it's going to stand up on these new tires. I was watching some tape in slo-mo and it was seriously bouncing the rim off the ground with those et streets, I'll probably have to take some anti-squat out of it on the juice. Seems like transbrake + nitrous = wheelstand, especially on a 4.71 gear.

I bet you're right. Did you make custom LCA brackets to crank the anti squat up?
