I think the rear is technically a 21.5 mm


The hawk looks good with that stance.....

Sure. We can do highway runs, twisties, whatever. We can do that in my Camaro also...Make sure you have at least 600 rwhp though.

No worries on the HP's rapid just did my tune. I put down 472 hp RW on the motor and 660 on a 150 shot. I think I should by a 12 bolt soon.

Just make sure that you don't say the bottle wasn't full.

Sounds more like an 188 shot...

YEAH I was told that nos responds diffrent with cam grinds and other things so I 150 could be less or more than 150 in actual power because of setup. I read around some and I see some cars with 100 shot making 120+ hp so thats good news. I have 2 linked 15lb bottles but yes you always run the issue of running out.... or blowing the rear or trans or twisting a driveshaft or a backfire and destroy the intake. just the same as a procharger can lose a bearing or toss a belt or slip and melt a belt off in about 3-4 secounds. Its all in good fun though. Hope to see you around you should be hard to kill.. even if I get killed it will be fun to race something other than the B.S eclipse's hondas same old cobras that are over here.
