Default What Gains?

I just upgraded from a 75 shot to a 100 shot, how many tenths will I pickup?

My best on a 75 shot is 13.2 @106mph (I am a bad driver)

That is what i am thinking but I can't seem to get the car to launch without spiing the sh*t out of the tires.
It is hard to launch a manual on nitrous.

I raced a 1999 stangwith a 125 shot! the guy (99GTnos)is a member of this forum. Heres what his slip looked like:
R/T .204
60 1.837
330 5.313
1/8 8.220
MPH 84.77
1000 10.724
1/4 12.840
MPH 107.05

This should give you a real good idea of about what you should run.
His other mods were modest. Intake, exhaust. etc.

12.8 modest. Try warming up the tires a little harder.

What kind of tires are you on larissa? With nitrous you'll definitely need something quite sticky to handle the torque.

A car that is tune with a 100 shoot will pick up 1second. My 2v worked good with a 100shoot.
