Why did it only pick up 22mph on the big end? I would've thought it would pick up 30mph on the hose and trap 140mph. That would be consistent with the ET.

I think the Converter is too loose from what I've read they're changing it soon.
It worked good on N/A but not with the nitrous.

Congrats LMR and the owner of the car...

It ran a 1.52 60', and went a 10.66 @ 127.9 mph N/A. It only picked up 4.5-6.5 mph on the nitrous, very low increase seeing as it went from 500 rwhp to 660 rwhp. Converter swap will probably take care of the issue as stated earlier.
