I would like to get in on some of this 11's second racing, but since my car only runs about 9.0's maybee 8.9's in the eight i got a long ways to go and a lot of money to spend. Damn craig, ever think about going pro to nhra?
hmm if i had a set of tires to run on id be down for some action.. ill be close to 11's on motor prolly about 12.20-12.30 im guessing... needs a tune for the headers and converter, but oh well, i still gots the bottle, though before its tuned again i dbout id put mroe then 100 shot thru her.

What size TC you running now??

future plans will ofcourse include cam/gear/bigger stall, and im trying to hold off on the tune and tires if i can just go without racing a few more months i might can get it all together, praying the bottom end has held together with what im planning id like to get near that cam only list, and ofcourse still run teh 100-150 shot on it.

i've never messed with nitrous before but i'd love to try it on something in the near future. get a wet kit and make sure u got a good fuel pump.. if u got a 6sp car, get a rearend.. so far my stock rear has held up to countless spray passes with it coming in about 30ft out, and has held up to 6 passes with the 150 shot coming in right off the line on et streets, maybe a 1000th of a second before the car even moved lol... however the stock clutches and planetary gears did not at all.
my biggest problem right now is the shitty 3000 stall.. with taht stall my car would run quicker with a tr224 cam then say a f14 just cause id have no low end and no stall to keep it in its band. and im not gonna give anyone a run with a 224 cam.

Yeah, we're grinding the front calipers for the skinnies. That should save us quite a bit of weight. Plus the addition of the bolt-ons. hopefully aim for 11.20's.
