Default Just got nitrous, track time not impressive...

Hey guys, its been a pretty good while since I've visited. I hooked up the NOS 100shot kit ($535 at summit?). It took roughly 6.5 tenths off my previous run a couple years back. Now, while thats not bad in my opinion, it only got me down to 14.2 @ 98mph. Shouldnt I see a little higher numbers with this? Mods below (not many)

Make sure the bottle is warm if you dont have a gauge.. A wet 100 shot will take a second off you E.T. and usually add around 10 mph.

A second woulda been nice. To be honest, I kinda expected to at least break the 13 barrier. I went from about a 14.85 @ 93 to 14.28 @ 98. Also looking into cheater slicks, seeing how i didnt juice outta the hole with my damn near bald street tires. Think that'll break 13s?

With cheater slicks and leaving sooner on nitrous you will break the 13's.
