Tommorrow's the day.... nerves are KICKIN IN big time Yup the time has come for me to run the car on the bottle.... The hood is fitted, electronics are all taken care of, internal data logging is in the box.....
the only thing left to drop is my *****....
Frankly i'm scared of what this thing is gonna do on the bottle... Anyone got any words of wisdom to prevent block cracking wheelstands..... it's too late to install travel limiters or wheelie bars... So i'm going out there with a few ounces of brains, and 2 gallons of stupidity....
Wish me luck. I want it to run SUB 9.50 and i'll be MORE than happy.... I'm only bringing the 150 jets and the 175 jets. Car went 10.62 on motor with a VERY n2o specific cam and gears setup for spray as well.... I just don't want to break anything cause Pinks All Out is less than a month away and I've heard they are looking at a mid 9's possible class (which is exactly where i'll be at roughly).... Would love to win it with the forgotten about LT1.....

Dude I got the chills just reading that, have fun.
Thats an amazing setup WITHOUT the nitrous. Just ramp it up slowly so you can see how it will react, thats how I plan to handle it when I finally get to that point

thanks man..... I was just down there in the garage just staring at the car sittin there all clean and ****, just running thru my mind praying I have everything handled... It's the first time I'll have run in the 9's and the summit box just came in today with my neckbrace, nomex gloves, nomex pants.... that really brought it home for me when i tried all that stuff on that this thing could easily kill me if i'm not careful.....
Probably just some pre-race jitters.... Again I appreciate it man...here's the video of the motor only wheelie it pulled.... It's undergeared for NA but it still yanks em hard and hooks HARD.... so i know it's gonna be nasty on spray cause of the torque..... and my nitrous kit I use jets their kits at the wheels so the 150 shot is a good solid 180-190 hp.....

at least you have respect for it. that i think is step one. i can't believe you are hosing it without limiters, or bars for that matter!!! wtf, and in an automatic car! lol!
do you at least have Madman's syabs on it? I hope so.
good question above, are you ramping it or at the very least putting a bit of delay in it?
g'luck with it, if nothing else be safe, you and the car
just remember we do this **** for fun!

Hang on then, that wheelie is about to get 10x worse
Just careful off the line, keep that wheelie under control so you dont damage anything landing. After that you want all the ***** you can get!

myonly guess would be if you have a rpm switch use it...start high and come down with it...if the car start wheel tanding tighten the front shocks you should be able to make it stop with just shocks...but if not try adding 1/4 pound of air at a time to the rear tires...i think that should help it not dead hook and get a lil wheel spin might actually 60/et better
but im no suspension expert
