Friday OSW

Hello who is going this Friday to OSW... We are taking my buddies 3.8 nitrous fed car out and I am taking the ford explorer so I can hold all the tools and parts.. Plus if he blows I can tow him home....

Anyone else going? We should all meet up.... He plans to run a 50 and 75 hp shot and hopes it will scare a few lt1's... email syxxgunnar@aol.com and let him know if your going and we can work a meeting spot out...

He has a White Firebird.....


On a side note I need to really work on my 60 foot times... Anybody know a place I can go and do it safely.... I really do not wantto run the full 1/4 I am looking for a simple 60 foot spot so I can run, time it and then discuss what I should change or do..

my 60 foot times suck.... I wish I could pratice just 60 foot times... I am afraid he will not race for cash... I am anxious to see the differnece Nitrous makes... His kit has a 35, 50, 75, 100HP jets....

We plan to start with 50, then 75

Damn I want to go, even if to watch(since I am having car issues)...

Well anyways, my parents and my girlfirend parents are coming to town, first they are oging to meet... kinda scary... I would feel safer running my car with no oil in it at that track

he wants to know nitrous, and 3.8L he shoudl meet up with shane. He ran a 13.6 on the bottle at OSW with a 96 3.8L green v6 bird.

Make sure everything is hooked up and he has all the safety features... Anmd he should be fine.

I understand being weary of it...

I wouldn't touch the stuff on my car 123,000 miles, cast aluminum pistons, and nitrous coudl end up bad.

I think nitrous is over dramatized. If you run responsible numbers on a well tuned car it will provide you years of use. Just don't toss 150HP shot on a stock 3.8, he only plans now to use the 35 jet until he is used to it then jump to the 50 jet and possible touch the 70 jet.. I will be holding his 100 jet so it will be inconvient to get (in my safe)...
