2008 Official "Nitrous Fast List"
ATV I was gonna ask you how that fuel you were trying was working out. Did it end up being any better then what you were running (not sure what that was either)
Reason I ask, is my supply of good torco fuel isn't endless, and eventually I will have to go to something else... I'd like to stay away from the oxygenated stuff only because it goes bad even quicker and with my use, I do a just about one 55 gal drum a year, maybe a little less depending on the weather etc.etc. meaning that it's gonna sit all season in the garage, obviously I'll seal the drum back up as tight as I can, but you know how that is.
Good to see you've got that setup working though, with that lazy 60 foot (you call that lazy, I call that decent, at least for me) and letting off you're a clean pass away from an 8 second timeslip

The Q16 is a pain because you have to drain it after racing. I dont have a direct comparison to know how much more power it makes. I know guys are seeing 25-40 hp gains with the right A/F and timing.
The car is in the low 1.3 most of the time and has been as fast as 1.28 in the 60'.
We are trying to sneak up on the tune... once your over a 300 shot you can hurt parts FAST !!

I'm sure of that, which is why I started off with a little kid's kit so I couldn't jump in too fast.
I need to get my car to 60 foot like that. I'm still in the mid 1.4's, car would go 1.35 with the old converter on a 100 shot but on the bumper with the 150, the new conveter is alot better up top but a little weak out of the hole, probably means I need to just hit it with more power and it will be right where it needs to be.
I don't want to be bothered with the fuel draining, that's a pita. If noone buy's torco/they don't get their **** togeher I'll probably either just do C16, or C23 if I can find it cheap enough.

Not sure? I looked for rules and found none, lol. Do we have any, anywhere? maybe on one of the old lists? we could note that a certain car is outside of the f-bod, y-bod and GTO, though, IMO, i think we should include any LSx car. How many out there did not know that the LSX is now moving into the 500 shot range? what ever ya all think is good.

Doesn't matter to me. Maybe a seperate section of the list for "different chassis" .It will be hard to make a list full of nova's and mustangs with lsx blocks. LOL running 400 lbs lighter than a fbody can get.
