I don't like the idea of running my nitrous kit off the same pump and rail that fuels the motor.

hmmm, what kinda of kit are you planning on running? The ones I have been looking at are the simple wet nozzle kits.

Good runs I suppose. Still don't get why you talk down to low 11 second cars while doing roll races with mid 12 second cars?!? The g8 is damn sexy!

I have a kit I cobbled together. HSW plate with NOS solenoids and an NOS controller.

standalone is a small fuel cell with a pump and reg built in. best kit to run if not going dirct port is a plate kit. its the best way to inject nos beside directport.

Since this info will leak out eventually, I went to Atco on 11/30/2012. I took the taller drag radials off and put my stock wheel/tires back on. This change dropped my 60' from the 2.08 in my sig to 1.94 (best of a 1.93).

The DA was -1840 by the end, which I don't believe is reflective of what the car will run, due to crazy good air, but my best run was 12.02 @ 118.4 mph. I will not be updating my sig until I get to LVD in normal weather conditions.

The only changes were the rear wheels/tires, and the weather. Perfect example of why the people who only run in the best of the best conditions, but never in bad conditions need to stop being so judgemental of others.
