does this sound right

I was runing 9.1@78.6mph then I put a 130 shot of nitrous and now I run a 8.68@84.2mph I thought It would be about 8.1 or 8.2'swith that shot. This is a 1/8 mile track.

anyway does anyone know a where to get a upgraded t-56 trany because I ended up blowing mine up thinks

It's always tuff to think in terms of 1/8-mile ET/MPH, but if I convert those to approx. 1/4-mile numbers, it looks like you didn't gain as much as you should have. In the 1/4-mile, you should have picked up 1.2-sec/12mph, but using approx conversions, you only picked up 0.7-sec and 7mph.


Question is, when did you activate the nitrous? Were you able to spray off the line, or did you wait for 2nd gear, etc? Strategies like that could hurt you more in the 1/8-mile than they will in the 1/4-mile.

There's no reason a stock T56 shouldn't hold up to the kind of HP you are running. What "blew"?

Re: does this sound right

I have a window that kicks in at 3200rpm so I am kinda spraying out of he hole.
on the trany it went in to 4th gear then wouldn't come back out now it is hard to get into 3rd and 4th gear and it wines in every gear real bad. It still has oil in it so I have no clue what it could be.
