Last weekend I went up to Dallas raceway with Kyle and Tony as they tested their new combos for the upcoming LTx Shootout. Took the car up since I was going to have a little fun. Knew my bottle was low but figured I had enough to make 1 nitrous pass................bottle gave out around the 1000' mark but was still able to click off a new best 1/4 ET.

60' 1.424
330' 4.075
1/8 ET 6.303
1/8 MPH 111.83
1000 8.207
1/4 ET 9.826
1/4 MPH 132.02

Looking forward to Sept 4th and setting the car on kill...

 

Damn Man...... Stupid FAST!!!! I can only Dream!!!

 

Nice job... Congrats.

 

Sounded like it was breaking up a bit?

 

Probably from going rich due to the bottle going empty.I just listen to the video and hear it to.

 

Ray,
Congrates on the new best... It still amazes me that this bottom end was put in back when I had the speed shop down on franklin. I do not know another Nitrous car that has had the same short block with our being freshened up for the same lenth of time.

Yep...the shortblock was assembled back in the summer of 2003, and has had multiple heads/cams combintations ran on top of it. Plans areto pull it out and freshen it up for next year.

 

good ear....the car did surge once shortly after launch, hit the limiter on the 2-3 shift, and then really broke up on the big end when the bottle gave out. I was trying to stay as close to WOT as I could to attempt to get through the traps.

Going to raise the rev limiter a bit for the LTx Shootout to give me a little more room...right now I only have 200 RPM between the shift point and the rev limiter. I have kept raising my shift point and the car keeps dropping ET.

 

Looking good Ray

 

It has served you well.....

 

Congrats Ray!

 

Congrats on the new best Ray!!!!

edit - just watched it again, that was off the footbrake also. Very nice!

Yes it was on a foot brake....I launch from right above idle, converter flashes to ~5500. Car will cut mid 1.3 60's with a little tuning for track conditions. I needed a little less tire pressure than what I ran on that pass. (20 psi).

 

congrats on the pass... Cant wait to see what it runs on a full bottle.

 

Hell yea bad *** car and cant w8 to see what it does for real
