first of all, let me appologize if i make this to long and rattle on to much.

well a few weeks ago i took my car to the track for the first time with members of the car club im in. mind u this is my first time at a strip, with the 406, 150 shot nitrous, and MT E/T streets, 26x11.5x15 on my 15x10 rims. On motor my best was 12.916 @ 106 mph w/ a 1.8 60". On spray my best was 12.3@117 w/ a 1.76 60" and the car bogged in 2nd gear. the run before this i ran by myself and go a 12.4@126 w/ a 1.7x 60". and a major bog.

I had my tire pressure set at 18 psi *for the 1st run*. but forgot that that warm air will raise my psi... and didnt check my tires till the 2nd to last run, my 12.4@126 run. So now i know to check the tires constantly.

On both of the last 2 runs the engine bogged in 2nd when it hit the window switch. My window switch is set at 3000 and 5600 btw. i felt the nitrous kick in when i got on it at 3000 in 1st, and when it went into 2nd, the car/engine bogged, ie fell on its face and felt like i was going nowhere, untill 4500 rpms and then shot off like a rocket. and did fine through out 3rd. on my 126 mph run im sure i just nailed it off the line and spun my tires like crazy and after 2nd, when the car took off again i had some wheel spin again. in my 117mph run i launched off the line easier, but it bogged again once i hit 2nd, and rocketed/turned on again around 4500 again and i shot off with traction/wheel spin problems.

besides me having to practice my launches any helpfull hints? And any ideas what caused the bogging(is that even a word)?

i know to wait for the 3rd yellow, then nail it, but for some reason id just go brain dead and by the time i hit the gas the green light was on, and i would just nail it off the line vs getting a feel for whats best for the car, which i found out is around 1500-1700 rpms, so far.

the fuel pump is a 245 gph, and i thought it was good enough, but now im thinking a 255 and a booster pump. the car also needs some more tuning done to it cause i know i was spraying alot of fuel into it, which i think may have saved my engine when the fuel pump took a break/when it bogged.

and what sucks is i was going to scan my best slips, but found out XP pro dpesnt liek my scanner, and the sdcanner company doesnt have any plans on updating their program to also for XP pro. that and since christmas is near, my mom got all the decorations out of the attic and went to town on the house.. and in doing so i think she threw away my slips that were on the counter near my room cuase i havent found them yet and i know my dad wouldnt have tossed them.
