That's a nice pass, but nothing special that's for sure.

Looks I'm not the only person that finds the weight hard to believe. He has a stand alone fuel system, what's more racecar than that? I'm thinking the weight isn't the strange part. The strange part is that he goes 12.0's on motor (slicks) and mid tens on a 150 shot. uuumm yeah...

Was thinking about adding a 50-75 shot, and I know from previous threads you have N2O. What is safe on our motors? I like NX, but if you know of a kit that works better tell me--i'm all ears.

The tire were to big for the car and he crossed the line in 3rd. And a stand alone fuel system does not make it a race car. Thats only 500 bucks from 2 different sponsor. There is another video of a camaro running a 150 shop that ran a 12.8 on motor and a 10.98 on spray. Plus that 150 shot could have been at 1100psi so it was really closer to a 200

When you can go 8's on LS1 edit yes a stand alone = racecar.

No one bogs that hard every pass. I'd love to have that problem, but it just seems a bit outlandish to me that the car is so crazy fast on the gas, but a huge turd on motor. That is unless it has a 200 shot?

I give up, 03 Cobras are unbeatable and cannot be beaten by anything less than an all out race car or another Cobra. Is that better, because thats how it always ends up. Either way I dont give a **** to be honest. If every chick I saw didnt drive a Mustang or if I did not see one every 10 cars on the road or the interior ergonomics were not so fucked, I might buy one and be unbeatable as well. Until then I'll stick with my .

That does not make your car a RACE CAR , someone has been watching to much Fast and Furious. 12.0s on motor with a nitrous tune, big tires that killed what ever gear he had, and we don't even know the conditions the day he ran. So I would put a little more thought in to it and it does add up. Like I said it may have 150 shot pills in it but with 1100psi in the bottle. Also why are you stuck on a 200 shot so much.



Cam only Vette we built +200 dry shot = 130 traps spraying in second gear. F body weighs more and is less aerodynamic. F bod with need a gear and at least a 200 to hang
99 Corvette Hardtop Black/Black
Best ET 10.5 letting off early / Best MPH 132/ Best 60' 1.53 Quickest and Fastest all motor 6-speed vette in Texas
530 RWHP/510 RWTQ
Is this the vette you were taking about? A cam only vette trapping only 130 on a 200 shot sounds kinda weak. Why have a dry over wet? What cam? Lets see some specs?

Safe is a relative term of course. IMO, with good gas and a reasonable
amount of timing (nothing crazy) you can hit a 19psi KB with a 100shot
without any problems at all.

The question is why would you need it for a 150 shot? Answer is, you don't.

Vette was G5X2 + open hose = 61Xrwhp.

Spraying in second it went 130. Sad you can't believe that, but you are really to go ***** deep into whatever story any f-body owner tell you. Would it help if I told you I used to own an f-body?

dude, my car is full weight, and my daily driver! far from a "race car". I drive it to and from work and to the gym, or whereever else, while chillin in AC listening to CDs with leather and power everything. The only thing i change when i got to the track, are the tires, and switch tunes.

i agree its amazing how my car wakes up on the bottle, but it is only a 150. It made 152 rwhp on the dyno at the tires the day before I first ran that setup. The motor runs are just killed with 28" slicks. It bogs down to 2700 or so rpms on every launch, and im crossing the traps in 3rd, hardly optimal. With a 26" slick im sure the car would run much better NA.

oh, and i have the standalone so that i can spray in the heat of summer, with crappy 91 octane in the tank, reliably and repeatably. Plus i never run out of pump and pressure never drops. I just did it for safety reasons really, i feel really confident with the conservative n2o tune and the standalone with race gas. Especially considering its a stock longblock except for the cam.

just wanted to straighten those things out.

Well, i guess spraying from launch to finish made up for the weight and then 2 mph, or im just a much better shifter then that guy
