He doesn't use travel limiters on the front, controls it with the front shock

That is what I figured, but I could of sworn I read somewhere once from him that he did use limiters. Oh well he knows his car a little better than me I would think!

Sorry Fbodyjunkie06, a little slow on the response.

Cam is correct, control the launch with the shocks and timing on the hit. Only wish I had software and computer to control how soon to ramp back in the timing but for now I will just keep it low.

At least with a nitrous motor it's a little easier to predict what rpm the power is going to come in at.

I just wish we had more than 400rpm sweep in between timing cells and that they were 100rpm intervals. That would give us non progressive guys a way to really fine tune things. Power can change 200ft+. lb of torque in 400rpm on nitrous.

I have been considering it. It does not feel fast to me anymore.

Spray it!

A single stage 150-200 shot would put you into the low 6's with the right traction and chassis tune-up.

yeah to those people i just tell them its a power adder just like your turbo/supercharger. just cheaper and you have to refill it.

if they say i can only beat them on spray i say they can only beat me with boost.

I don't that I want to throw 200 at my junkyard motor and stock cast pistons.

I was going to start with a hundred shot and maybe go to 150 after the euphoria of going into the 10s wears off.

If you are asking me about the controller I am using a FJO and it is very easy to use and works perfect!

Carter is rubbing off on me I am thinking about hitting this old bird with two stages and let it fly! I have two 15 lb bottles anyway I may as well use them!!

I bet if you hit it with another 125 as a second stage about .2 or .3 after the first stage ramp ends it will go 6.0's if not 5.90's!

I am thinking to hit the second stage of nitrous after the 1-2 shift occurs!

Just got my 2012 Chevy High Performance Nationals Flyer in the mail and they put my Formula on the front cover. Pretty cool!

Thanks to the organizer!
