The car has never had a wheelstand problem for some reason. I usually run it 6/12 on the 28s but for some reason the 8.5s want it full loose. Just what we have found. The car doesn't even have limiters on it.

I don't have any, buy may be able to put you in contact with someone. Hoosiers or mts?

I have a question though, why not use the Hoosiers? Everyone used MT's here and switched to the Hoosiers and everyone picked up and they last longer. Anymore pics underhood, or what have you removed for weight? Basicly i want to know your entire setup. Lol
The Hoosier is a 150 lb weight add in our class. Is rather run the Hoosier but I'm not adding 100lbs to the car. Check out my thread probably like 20-30 threads below this one. It should detail many things

How much nitrous? (what size jets)
Weighs 3230ish race weight, jets are big 72 in one 62 in the other.

I don't plan on starting out on that much, 125 in the first and 75 in the second to start with. Looking at the jetting for this new plate it looks to have a higher N:F ratio than my old system just judging it by the jetting card so I'm hoping the actual tune-up itself is going to be closer to ideal off the bat. I'd be able to step it up sooner if the tune is cleaner and where I want it. If so, I'll be upping it 50-75hp on that first outing. I think it will take 250-275 to run what cam did the other day and with 350-400 I'm hoping for a 5.7x pass.

Put some MT 275's on it with one kit and get up to Cecil next weekend to run Ultra Steet....

Id like to line up with another Ultra/Ultimate street legal LS powered car.

I can't believe you guys are spraying that much before the throttle bOdy. Of a stock style intake. Never any distribution issues?

It's actually after the T/B with a plate. The distribution is not as good as a direct port on a stock intake but it better than nozzle. You just have to get a little creative in your tuning

I'd need screws for my doors, you'd end up blowing them off! When the new motor goes in we can dance!

Mix and match heat range plugs!

Hope not! If so I'll be sticking colder plugs in those holes that are off. I've got up to -11 if needed!

Just took my trans out yesterday and having the converter sent to Greg for some tweaks.

It's going to need it to get all the mph I can out of this jet combo!!! When I get this thing back it's going to need all 400 brought on within the first .6 seconds out the gate to even move and flash! Tight is right!

That's if the front end stays down, but I got some other new tricks up my sleeves for that problem if it arises too!

You are really going to have to tweak your suspension to try to bring all that in before you pass the tree. I have no doubt you will get it though.

Shiz and ATV bring theirs in .8 with a bigger motor. Just like they said, "Spraying any later is a waste of nitrous".

It for sure is a waste.

I'm going to try and do it, at least I can't say that I didn't try!

I'm on the fence right now about lowering the rear end down and putting the lower control arm down another hole.

I know if I lower the rear end my anti squat number will go down and so will the amount of separation I get, so if I lower it ride height wise the lca will be going down a hole. I've got the rear shock valving now to make the set-up work the way it would be if I do change it.

I've got a lot of front shock left also to tighten it down if I need it, and I'm going to have my limiters put on, but I'm keeping them loose for now and just going to use the shocks till I can't use them anymore before I start limiting travel.

I would put the limiters on and leave the front shocks alone.

With the limiters on the front you might not need to move the LCA's because you have just enough squat by limiting the front on that bigger shot.
