It's jetted at 75, but comes out to be about 110 (due to forced induction.) Just about to add anothe stage so I have a 50HP shot dry shot followed by my current kit. The final parts of the dry stage just arrived yesterday

When I don't screw up the launch, I usually end up with a 60' time around 1.73 or so. My personal best was a 1.653. I don't know WTF happened that day... Perhaps launched a bit harder than normal. But it's usually a bit higher. I know they're not the greatest, but I can explain! LoL

I've got suspension / subframes / rear control arms. You're forgetting one thing...

Sure, it's 430+ RWHP. But 110 of that is from nitrous. So that that away and you're left with 320 RWHP. But don't forget that the 320 comes from a supercharger that doesn't even begin to make power until 3,000 RPM. And then it builds until it peaks at about 320.

So when I leave the line, I'm basically leaving off a "stock" mustang with 3.73s, full exhaust, and suspension. The nitrous and blower are both meaningless for that short period of time. It doesn't take long in first to get high enough where I'm boosted, and then right as its shifting into 2nd, the nitrous is spraying and it's all out until the end. My power is all on the top end.

The goal of my new dry kit is to work on the launch and 60" times. It's such a small shot that it won't kill anything. But it's enough to shave a little time off the ET.

And this is why I've been looking around and asking about drag radials lately. I have a feeling that adding 50 or so hp off hte line is going to give me some traction issues. I may have to get a pair to toss on the back to help stick.

I'm not too familiar with auto's but i thought a stock converter was called a torque converter and a stall converter was called,well,stall converter.

They are all technically torque converters. They have different "stall speeds" and are often called stall converters. For they are all torque converters.

I look at it the same way I look at camshafts. People often post a video and ask "do I have a cam?" Well if your engine is rinning, then it's probably safe to say that you do But they use the term "cam" to refer to aftermarket camshafts and not stock.

Yeah. I think I'm just gonna say screw it and get the M/Ts They're a bit wider and obviously grip better. Street life won't be as long but oh well... Could be worse.

are you using a bottle heater, bottleopener or just the system and a purge.
