Drag Strip Results From Today! After the waste-of-time trip to the drag strip on Friday night, I went back today to try my luck again and the results were a new best ET and MPH for me! 
60' = 1.696
330 = 4.809
1/8 = 7.401
MPH = 93.7
1000 = 9.616
1/4 = 11.478
MPH = 121.55
Here's a short, crappy video of the run.

Let me be the first to congratulate you. It's Gary, the soon to be Nitorus brother. Wow great run, especially in the heat! So help me understand how you ran your Nitrous on this run.
Anything I needs to know from a install and driving standpoint so I can ensure I have a good run and don't blow my car up. Do you run a FPSS? I have one ready to install but have heard mixed reviews.
Was that a 75, or 100 shot? What was your BMN set to and did you have the 1st gear lock out activated? In other words, did you spray out of the hole? How does it feel when the nitrous kicks in.
Great run. I guess this stuff really works, doesn't it. Great Run!!!!!!!!!!!
How much did you pick up from your previosu best ET and MPH? I see you were anxious and already switched your sig times
You see my N/A below, so I should be hauling pretty good on a 100 shot.

1. Yes, I'm using an FPSS.
2. 75 shot, sprayed in 1st Gear from 4000 rpm.
3. It felt damn good when the nitrous hit!
4. I dropped over a half-second and picked up 6.7 mph on the big end, all with just a 75 shot!
Yeah, this stuff really works!

I wonder how many more days until you swap to the 100 HP Jets?
Also, did you do any tuning to your Vette? I doubt it with a 75, but just curious. I am going for the 100 jets and putting it on the dyno so I know everything works fine and then leaving it alone until my tranny breaks, then I guess I will call Rodney from the CF to get a new tranny

Thank you, Mike/Airwolf, and thanks for all your help with the million questions I asked during my installation.

Not sure if you need to "step up" to the 100 shot. Your numbers look good AND safe. Fast enough to give most cars a good run.
Fast is fun, but safe, IMHO, is better. I always like driving home better then watching the car get towed!

I agree about the move higher. I think I'm going to hold what I have until if and when I put a forged stroker motor under the hood.
