New shakedown run (video) After some serious nitrous damage testing the limits of my 408, I sent my car to Eastside. That's right, from Florida to Connecticut just so I could employ the experience of this shop and their LSx nitrous setup and tuning.
Today was the shakedown with a small 175 shot. The car went 9.34 @ 143 with a 1.38 short time. The guys shot some video that I'll post up after I trim the size down.
The sponsors on this board that are responsible for making my car go fast deserve a special thanks -
The crew at Eastside
Ricky at NX
Nitro Dave
Madman
Now it's time for me to get busy and go racin' again. I might even turn up the wick a little bit

Thanks y'all. I added the video to the first post.
That was Ken making a pass - one of the very few I trust piloting my sled. I'll be making the trip Wednesday to get the car and should be making passes Friday at OSW.

Eric the track was really slick, ya cant see it on the video cus the burnout smoke got pulled down the track by the windy conditions, but ya could see it from the starting line the car was really slippin and slidin and Ken (OSR1)really did a amazing job driving keeping it straight 
, the starting line guy said is that a NOS car i said yes he said you guys are nutz its too cold for that kinda power, i said nah were good
now if that pass were done at Atco that would have been a 9.00 or even a 8.XX, but we will leave that up to you

Its about time. 175 shot !!!! You have to be excited about that. Nice and SAFE!! Knew there was something weird about the launch. Your car always leaves hard. You're going to beat me to 8's still aren't you? You cheat. Year round racing. What's that? We get 5 months maybe.
Congrats. I'll bet you'll have more than a few butterflies on your trip to get your baby.
Keep us posted.
