****ty slicks meet good traction, on a 175 shot! starting to lean on it a bit...

i wanted to make a separate post from my new motor pb. needles to say the track lost, doh!

ok, well i got to run the 175 shot, down side was with the old crappy DOT slicks on the car.

i have been building back up to a larger shot, especially after having noticed...i believe it was wade stevens(apparently as i was told he did all of the plumbing for fogger lines), who plumbed the lines originally.

i finally noticed that the nitrous feed went in the Fuel side of the fogger nozzle and the Fuel went into the N2O side. well i have corrected this problem. some folks knew this others didn't but i wanted to post it!

2 years ago car went 10.14 @ 135.25 on a 300 hit with a very respectable 1.40 60'

just over a month ago as i posted it went 10.14 on a 125 shot, with the lines properly plumbed. hmmm maybe if NOS would've identified which line goes where, oh hold on they did! lmmfao!!! i guess then one would have to read it.

yesterday i went 9.87 @ 140.47 on a crappier 1.491 60' ... all that on a 175 shot, lmmfao! the car picked up 30 mph in the eighth.

i also went 9.88 @ 140.5 mph, made a small change and then went 9.91 on a 1.5x 60' @ 140.85 mph! i literally BLEW the tires off the car at the line, lifted and got back into it! it pulled 2nd gear really hard and got a nice 2nd gear wheelie!

last year the car ran 9.71 @ 140.10mph at the end of the year. this is too cool that was on a 300 hit, well a screwed up plumbed 300 hit!

psst..... actually i am about to start leaning on it!

thanks Simple!

MM,

on paper it looks feasible, but i have to 60' the car, the drags are my ticket, and also good track prep!!!! it could be possible to beat it, but who knows. i am hoping for some good clean runs!
