I learned where the best rpm to shift with the NOS is. Too the bad the track was not very well prepped tonight. I had a hard time getting off of the line every time. I am very please on how this car is running. I now know that she can run a 13 second run with ease n/a. With the 125 shot she is a very very solid 12 second car, and easing into the mid 12's will not be a problem with better tires and cold weather comming.

Also a shame I did not have a full bottle either.

If I had a convertor, and more than 3.73 gears, this car would be a monster. A 12.3 would be easily obtainable with just a convertor right now. WIth 4.30's and slicks along with the convertor an 11.99 wouold be very possible. I have the mph/hp to support a 12.20 ru nright now, I jsut cannot get off of the line fast enough.
Too bad I swore off spending any more money on this car. I am sure an 11 second run could be reached with another 1200$.

BTW this car is and has always been raced with full weight, minus spare tire, and jack. But there is now 20lbs of nitrous that takes its place. Race weight is most likely 3975 with the amount of gas that I run.

Joe,
Are you using the juice on a manual microswitch
or off the TPS at WOT ?
 
RE: Went to Track! New Best time!!

manual switch still... I need to move it to a WOT switch soon. Been meaning ot do it ever since I gotthe chip in. Did you ever get your kit in?
 
RE: Went to Track! New Best time!!

Should be done by Tuesday.
Geno is doing it for me (100 shot) along with the 255 fuel pump,
remote bottle opener and bottle heater.
Then we are going to e-town on Wed.

It's been 8 years since I raced at the track and with no seat time in the LSC with the juice installed and street tires I'm not expecting to do that great the first day out.

I'll keep you posted.

I'll be using a manual switch so I can get out of the hole,then juice it when I hook up.
Thanx for all your advise.
 
RE: Went to Track! New Best time!!

Depending on your tires I would wait till about the 25-30ft area or so. I do not know how well they prep their track, but with average tracks I have a hard time hooking right off the line with drag radials and 125.
With my street tires I can hit the gas on a 20mph roll and smoke them. Just some stuff to keep in mind. Your car might hook like a champ on that track. I have heard nothing but good things about E-town. The 100 shot should get you in the 13.3-4 range with your mods. BEST of luck man!! keep us updated!
