Default ran at kennedale tonight

well i ran my 00 silverado 5.3 auto down at kennedale tonight and ran a best of 8.88 @ 80 mph. it blew me away when i ran that. I kept gettin slower after each run after that i dont think the nitrious guy at the track did a good job of fillin my bottle. The only other mods i have is an intake, flow master and computer.

anyone else out there??

Thats pretty good. Ditch the flowmaster or get a cutout.

I'm thinking of heading out there next week.

Do you even have a bottle gauge on it or a heater? Before you blame your fill, knwo how nitrous works, and also know that nitrous consistency depends on consistent bottle pressure.

I got a gauge on the bottle. No heater though. And yeah that was me runnin with yall in the quick 8. My first time to run in it and i sucked at it pretty bad. I couldnt belive i even made it to the second round. If i wouldnt have spun when i took off that time i think i would have maybe made it to the final round. Im gonna head out there next weekend for sure and try to lighten the truck up or somethin to get some better times out of it. Best was a 10.1 without spray and i really wana get in the 9s all motor.
