Lightbulb New 50HP N2O best... (if you can call it that!)

... On the ice rink (Milan) with a LOUSY high 1.6X sixty foot time...
11.78
115.XX

Trouble was bottle connection had leak in it so it blew as much juice into the car as it did the engine. I'm pretty sure on a good track and some RPM adjustments, 11.5X's are a real possibility, with the 50 shot.

Went 12.06 N/A @ 113.XX first run of the night.

I believe the problem to be the loose nut behind the wheel.

Yeah I saw you there. I was in the white Z28 that you annihilated. It is ok though... because I ran a PB of 13.26 that night. So I am still happy.

"the leak blew as much juice in the car as it did the engine"

That helps take the pain away when you lose first round.

I know, I know, everyone needs a little azz but no one likes a smart azz.

Cool

Well hi Eddie... nice to have raced you! Congrats on the new best! A little more work and you are in the 12's.

Thanx for the congrats guyz, but I was looking to go a little deeper into the 11's. What a day to not have any thread sealer in the tool box. Permatex Blue Silicon doesn't work on high pressure connections.

Rear brake pads were screaching on the return road. Wonder why, car only has 35,000 miles on it!! Oh... 7 years of drag racing too, maybe thats it??

Thumbs up

Kevin,
On a track that hooks with the same good air you should be able to hit the 11.5xs.

I'm going to Stanton tomorrow night to test the SSRA, hopefully in some good air

Unhappy

Harold... I'm scared to!!!
Actually I'd love to but:
1) 4.56 gear ratio means screamin through the traps at ultra high RPM.
2) I have no way to retard timing at this point and I run ALOT of
advance N/A, 38 degrees.

I may bump it to 75 for M7

I really DO want a wheelie picture this year!!!
