Jen is in the 10s !!!
Jen is in the 10s !!! We took the car out to our high elevation (DA=5800'), unprepped track ... LACR, to see how the car likes a wet 130 shot. Wow, was I amazed at the improvement. Here is how her runs played out:
Best MPH:

1.579

102.527
8.824
10.643

Shift points were at 6300 and left off of the transbrake

8.759
10.595

Left off of the foot brake and lowered shift points to 5300
Best 60':

6.784
100.929
8.829
10.669
126.606
Left off of the transbrake and lowered shift points to 5300
You can see in the videos this is not the best hooking kind of track, but you do what you can with what you have. Correcting for the weather, these runs would have been in the 9s easily at a lower elevation, better weather track ... or is there was more rubber on the ground we could have got really close.
Plus she also got another 2nd place trophy while playing around with the nitrous.

Great job, I am not too sure about the nines, elevation does effect the times of a nitrous engine, but not nearly as much as an N/A car, but it was a great day for you guys it seems!

Thanks Bryan! We are adding more safety equipment just in case, then we will hit either Famoso or Fontana. She is scheduled to attend a reaction time clinic with Top Fuel driver Jack Beckman (and personal friend of hers) at Fontana in a couple of weeks. So if she runs with the nitrous, I would rather have the extra safety stuff and not run 9s, then the opposite. :o
Hey, I am going to send you an email about the Shootout, OK?

Hi,
Thanks for the congrats. I love what the NOS has done. I just love to - I was so - 
at how fast the car had gone and so excited to finally get into the 10's. Thanks for letting me share how happy I am. I have to say that sponsors are wonderful people. Mine are helping me get to where I want to be. I am just so Thanks again.

congrats guys, getting your first 10 seconed slip. resaon why you had bad 60' on first run is cause your out of the rubber. need to make sure to get the car in the midle of the rubber. also if you spin off the line, you wont pick up the front tires at all. could be your high mph was due to not hooking and full bottle or bottle being fullest of all the other runs. also re do your anti roll bar i saw it at palmdale its adjsted wrong.
good luck
good luck

I think it could go 9s up there with better traction and the bigger shot.

HP is not what get's you ET, it is the car setup. HP get's you MPH. Yes the tune is setup for N/A only, not nitrous so we could pick up more in that area. The suspension is pretty much setup, and the driver can handle 9s easily. With better track prep 
and weather we can get close to 9s. 
You know, I have argued with ricer that said the same thing. Let me elaborate ... if ET was directly derived from HP, then M6 cars would be getting better ETs than say a stalled A4s. But that is not true now is it? Stalled A4s dyno less than M6s, yet have better ETs. Same thing if we reduced the weight of the car. A 3800lbs car with 500rwhp wouldn't run the same number as say a 3000lbs car with 500rwhp. Also if a car has factory suspension, it will not 60' as good as a similar vehicle with suspension upgrades. Why do you think Pro-Stock guys are always messing with the setup of the car? It is all in the setup and the weather/track conditions. When we get our new engine in, we will gladly turn off the bottle. Now is my statement clear about HP doesn't effects ET (directly), the complete setup does.

I clearly understand what your saying. If horespower dosent get you ET why did get a faster ET on nitrous. I am pretty sure nitrous gets your something. If you run nitrous long enough you will notice DA dosent have much effect as if you were N/A.
You cant campare our cars we pro stock, their always trying something diffrent to be competive in their series. Thats something out of our league.
Salled A4 runs faster than M6. Time the delay it takes for the M6 driver to shift in between gears, then program that same delay in a stalled A4 and you will see the difrence. Everyone keeps on talking about this topic, but no one ever accually thinks about the delay. You cant go slower with better gearing. Thats the same reason why auto goes quicker when you gear it up.

So what your saying is if we run 28x10x15 slicks on bone stock f-body with 300rwhp, which will dead hook. but if you take a car with 500rwhp on street tires which will not hook, remember their on stock suspension only diffrence is horsepower same gearing and tranny. who will go faster the car that hooks or the car with the HP that dosent hook?

Nitrous also adds torque, that is my point ... and without torque you 60' time will suffer, which directly affects ETs. HP alone will not generate better 60' time if the TQ stayed the same (which is not possible) Nitrous, SC and Turbos do pretty much the same thing ... increase the amount of useable oxygen to burn with additional fuel. You are right about the DA vs. ET though.

Most manual driver that know how to shift should be able to have a shift time of .02 seconds, which coincidently is about the delay amount in 4L60Es (WOT not part throttle).

It has the HP to run the ET? Not true at all, but you already knew that (see below) and I was re-affirming that the setup is more crucial to ET, then HP is to ET.

I know this from experience. Most m6's are slow because of the driver error involved. They are harder to launch, varying rpm with either bog or spin. Of course you need to upgrade the cars suspension to handle the extra power. There is minimal things to adjust on an fbody regardless.
I fixed it.
