Default nitrous finally hit out of the hole

I lowered the window switch down to 2700 and it hit during the 60'. Ran out of bottle so next time out am going to lower it to 2600 and see how she fly's. Had a 1.70 60' new best and car had no signs of loosing traction
3625+lb car out of the hole but the da was **** and there was a very nice headwind. Typicall it runs 12.6's@108 off the bottle and it was going 13.0@104.5. On the bottle it normally traps 118 low to mid 118s.

can you get it that early without hurting anything. i always am told......not below 3k. but if so that would help me. i am getting a 2.1 60ft with 12.4 at 119 i bet i could get in the 11's if that would work

I wouldn't do that just yet in your case because your not sure if ur bogging. If u bog while on the bottle then your going to be picking up scraps of your intake, lid, maf, etc. off the track because nitrous and bogs dont mix.

When my car still had the stock converter and 2.73s,I sprayed it 125 dead out the hole on a WOT switch all the time..
Went from cutting 1.9-2.0 60 foots on motor to low 1.7's on the bottle
