3258 is much different than 3000 race weight. i would still like an explanation as to why a 408 h/c/i fbody couldn't pull away from a 424hp fbody...
facts are that chevelle is ******* slow for a 540ci, f1 powerglide setup. if you choose to run at a lower potential that doesn't change that your ******* setup is weak.

LOL, you guys are funny. always arguing....here are the facts
My camaro is a 451 on motor, 75 shot 519 on the spray, so what 69 shot?
car weighs 3258lbs before the nitrous kit, add 30lbs, passenger , full tank of gas, 3258 was almost empty, I have a stock 4l60e converter in my trunck, (50lbs) My #5 did not melt, it chipped the ring land usually due to the top ring expanding to much from heat, MY FAULT, I ahould have replaced the stock fuel pump 150 hp ago.
The Chevelle ran very strong, most likely traps 131ish, He is very secretive about his setup, but it is supercharged with a 540 Cu.in. motor, runs a gear venders overdrive, ? gears ? hp ? weigh, but guessing car is 3700, but he had his two kids with him and wife I think.
Bottom line is he saw my car thought he could let me go first and blow past.. wasn't the case, second race he flags it off, if you look close at me shadow in his door you can see my front wheel creeping up to his door/fender seem, as soon as you see my front wheel fall back is when I felt my motor cut out and I was on 7 cylinders, keep watching and my car still creeps back up to his door seem.

Just because your car can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done...

Why not? haven't you even seen posts from chrs1313? his car is a heads cam LS1 that runs 10.00 @ 130, off spray, his car is at 3000lbs, so why wouldn't my LS2 heads cam on a 75 hit not trap 130 at minimal...?

It was right after I installed my 12 bolt, I didn't have the right u-bolts for the axle tube diameter, launched it and twisted just like your car in your avatar...and it handled like ****..went home after the first pass, i didn't even complete the pass, let out at the 1/8
whats your best time?

lol i had the same problem when i did my 9 inch. in those vids it went mid 6's on a 150 shot, stock heads and a smaller cam than i have now.

Nice, I think my stock mid pipe may be holding me back a bit, it is the factory 2.7/8 in piping. chrs1313 did a flowmaster merge and a 4 inch turndown and gaind almost 30 ft.lbs in the mid range. plus with nitrous a free flowing exhaust may help get the heat out and keep detonation down...I need a few things before I race this guy again, he wants a rematch bad. I'm not doing another neon roll, its digs or nothing next time

Brad, if you opened up that exhaust with a Y and a cutout I bet you'd see an easy 15-20hp with as choked as your exhaust is. You'll definitely have Jill's Cobra from a dig if she shows up again too. Isn't she married to 1badfox?
See if you can get some more details from him next time about his car.

Why are you just running a 75? Why not a 100-125 its just as safe as long as you got a 255 you should be good to go. Your car moves the **** out with that weight reduction just like it should I really don't see how it hard to believe. I guess too many people are stuck in the 12's.
