Got to make a nitrous pass :)
Got to make another nitrous pass tonight, tech guys rip my car apart everytime I run
. Its something different everytime too. Tonight my down bars arent legal because they arent 5" from the halo...
Oh well:
Hit the button just after the 60 foot, let off before the end of the 1/4 because I was getting some surging (turned out to be a bit lean, glad I did let off):
60ft: 1.807
330ft: 4.868
1/8ET: 7.444
1/8MPH: 95.00
1000ft: 9.693
1/4ET: 11.660
1/4MPH: 108.98
MPH is 2 full mph slower than I trap on the motor, I let off around the 1000' mark. Still on a 100 shot, all I did was change the way it pulls timing. For reference, here is last week's pass:
1/8ET: 7.764
1/8MPH: 92.43
1/4ET: 12.000
1/4MPH: 116.25 (no lean issues on that pass)
So I am thinking since my car is 2.5 mph faster in the 1/8th than last Friday that I may trap in the 118 range, which would kick ***!!! Still have the 125 shot to run, I will borrow some 28" tires tho for sure when I do that.

Congrats on the ET, I knew the car had it in it. But why the slow 60 ft? 1.80 seems a bit soft for that car.
I'm damned curious about the roll bar thing though... it seems a little petty to me.
