Default first nitrous kill

we finally got the nitrous lined out tonight, took it out for a test drive on the 50 shot and it felt good. we went back to a friends house and made a jet change to the 75 shot and went out for another drive. as we were driving along a brand new GTO came up next to us, still had the paper tags that expired 2 days ago. he followed us a little way and we got some open road and went for it, beat him by a full car. i was very happy with it

only mods are: slp lid, cutout, K&N, and the nitrous

Good kill. Never raced a stock GTO when my car was stock. I have raced one with my current mods and beat him by a car and a half from a roll. The LS2 does horrible, i'm told, if it gets too heat soaked.

Anyways, the shot came in handy.

also later on last night i race a friends 99 Z28, we use to dead tie everytime we raced no matter what speed we raced from. i put 2-3 cars on him every time with the 75 shot.

all of this was done with only 5 pounds in the bottle and maybe 900PSI. no one in town can fill bottles right now everyone is broke...
