The car is tuned for the nitrous. Mike at Vengeance Racing in Atlanta has the file saved to his computer. I don't have the dyno sheets for the car anymore. They got lost in my move from California to Louisiana (Active duty Marine). I do have recent time slips for the car from Hub City Dragway in Hattisburg, Mississippi from about a month ago (horrible night for racing, non hooking track, 94 deg. and humid). It only took the 150 shot to run 10.8 that was with the car not hooking very well (1.55 60'). I was running an old set of ET Streets. Then, the car got a little loose on the top end and smacked the rev limiter right before the finish line. (still ran a 10.8) The car has cut better 60's with the BFG Drag Radials (1.3's but time slips lost in the move as well). Put a set of 3.73's back in the car, get a better launch, and she will run 10.5's in street trim without any problems. Then, put the 200 shot in and see what happens. I have used the 200 shot once (on the street) and IT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!! The car absolutely loved it! With the ARP studs in the bottom end, the only concern you will have would be the pistons. I have had no issues with it at all. With the car being tuned for it, plus I'm running an in-line fuel pump to keep the pressure up, it should be safe for quite some time.

It's been a while since I've paid attention to that, and driven 65 mph.(The car only comes out on Sat. nights now and cruises around town.) I believe, in Overdrive, it is around 2200 rpms. I know it actually cruises nicely at 65 mph. I don't like to drive it any higher than 75 for long periods of time, because it is getting close to 3000 rpms. I'm sure someone has a calculator out there somewhere that will tell you what rpm's it's at. 28" tall tire, 4.10 gears, and 4l60e in overdrive. However, the vigilante 3800 stall keeps those rpm's up there until it locks up.
Oh, No trades. Only selling, because a wife with a credit card is a BAD thing. I need to pay the bill off and take the card away. I retire from the Marine Corps in a couple of years and want to be as debt free as possible.

No videos. I do have a couple of slips of N/A. It ran a 7.74 in the 1/8th at Barona, CA at 100 deg out, 3500' DA, and on 6 cylinders. (two plug wires were unplugged). A month ago at Hattisburg, Mississippi, it spun the tires (worn out ET streets) out of the hole (1.7 60'), was 94 deg outside and extremely humid, it ran an 11.9. If she had hooked the way she has in the past, she should have run about an 11.7. I have run that on the motor, but the time slips got lost when I moved from California to Louisiana (stupid govt. contract movers)
