Default One good pass

Well finally made a nitrous pass. Pretty pleased. ran 10.57@123.9 on the 200 shot. 1.52 sixty and I feel like I can do better. Track officials told me to beat it after the first pass (No roll cage or fire jacket). Should be in the 9s in no time.

Thanks man I thought this car was Christine. It was just one problem after another. Now that she'll lift the front tire. I'm back in love with her. lol

10.57@123 is getting out of the hole pretty nicely.

Oh I didn't have to leave. Just had to shut the bottle off. But low-mid 12s suck after a first run like that. lol. I'd really like to get this car into the 11s on motor. Might be a stretch. 12.3 is the best on motor so far.

Good times! you should get some 11's na out of it with some tweaks. My 347 '95 went 11.8's na and that's a 5sp with a (at the time) horrible driver and not the best 60's. your cars set up way better than mine was so I wouldn't be surprised with some 11's how it sits. then throw the juice to her for one good pass lol.

Damn nice run, BB! I'd say there's a 9 in it with a few adjustments. 11s on motor should be there too, but I wonder if you'll have to compromise your nitrous tune to pull it off. Or maybe rig it up with a nitrous tune and an NA tune.

stone, I run a timing retard switch. It's mounted in the glove box. If I want to make a nitrous pass. I dial out 10 degrees of timing, check it with the timing light once and go. It's probably not optimal but with all the headaches I've had with this car I'd rather dial out to much timing then not enough. CT it sixtys a little lazy when it's not on the spray. I'm hoping the converter will losen up and I can get a little more out of it.
