Went to a local race and put the 150hp NX jets in. The very first pass of the day went like this. +3050' DA
1.66 60' spinning quite a bit ET streets @17psi.
7.06 1/8th
10.95@125.8mph
next pass.
1.63 60' Went out about 30' before spraying. 15psi.
7.02 1/8th
10.93@125mph
Then refilled N2o bottle.
1.61 60' hooked a little better. 14psi.
6.98 1/8th
10.89@126mph dialed in 10.90 and broke out!
Finally had a grudge match with a local Mustang guy,
1.60 60' 14psi.
6.96 1/8th
10.84@126mph to his losing 11.07@119mph.
I was super excited with the car since it's the first time the car went 10's and did it like a bracket car almost. The Et streets weren't hooking up off the line I had to leave on motor and spray a little ways out. The car weighs 3550lbs with me in it and has a tight 3500 converter with 3.42's in the stock 10 bolt! I mixed 3gallons of C12 in with my 1/4 tank of 93 just to be safe b/c this is on a stock 10k mi. 4bolt main shortblock I bought off of Ebay 2 mos. ago for $400. Lloyd Elliott LT1 heads with stock valves and a Joe O custom cam. Thanks Joe and Lloyd for your help.

Thanks guys.

RJE no the car still runs bad N/A. It ran 12's in the bad air +3,000' DA. Thanks for your help but it didn't help any. Luckily it runs good on the gas. :eek:

NICE!!
What all did you change to run the 150 shot? I think all I might need is a fuel pump.

What TC are you running, 3500 but what brand?

I used an inline NOS fuel pump and a couple gallons of C12 in the tank. The car also ran 11.18@122.5mph on a 100shot on Saturday with a 1.66 60' spinning. The converter is a Trans King. I am pretty sure the car would run 10's on the 100shot with good traction or a new set of ET drags. Later

I feel the same way about mine, the right tire and traction mine would run better.
Do you like the Trans King? I have a Vig 3500 and it seems too loose for my combo, just the HOT cam.

Yeah my converter is tight. It hurt my N/A times and mph but runs hard on gas. I can't wait to see what the car will do with a low 1.5 60' and some decent weather. Later
