10.51 @ 127.75 New best!!

This is the quickest run since last season, but ive added 4.33 gears and spool, and the temp was about 20 degrees warmer so I know theres a 10.3-10.4 in it. The a/f was at 12.2 most of the run so I dropped secondary jets down 1 size so hopefully tomorrow at atco I could run a 10.4. Take a look at this vid and let me know what you guys think. It stalls to about 5000 rpms on the trans brake and the launch is insane now with a 1.43 60' on my first run. The new coil overs helped alot too because I switched from a 10" 200# spring to a 14" 90# spring. I just have to tighten up the front struts a little so the car doesnt come down so hard off the launch.

Video - Black Trans Am 10.51@ 127.75 mph

60' 1.448
330' 4.304
1/8 6.686 @ 103.02
1000' 8.758
1/4 10.519 @ 127.75

Lookin Good! Pulls the wheels up nicely and leaves hard. What kind of setup are you using to monitor air/fuel ratio?

Well I ran at atco last tuesday, and the track was a mess because many cars broke and oiled down the track. I waited like 3 hours to get 1 run and my car was ****ed up cause the alternator wasnt charging the battery so i ran the car with like 11 volts. I later found out the connection was falling off the alternator output and now im in the process of fixing that and upgrading the wiring back to the battery. Anyhow, there were many cars that were blowing the tirees right off the line and i knew my run wasnt going to be optimal. I spun prolly 1 rotation off the line and then it hooked, still pulling the front tires a little bit. 60' 1.46 1/4 10.54 @ 128.17. The temperature was around 60 degrees and the DA was at 600 feet. When i ran 3 weeks ago at englishtown the DA was -500 feet, and my 60's were 1.43 and 1.44, so i know that leaning out the a/f helped make more power as I gained .5 mph in worse weather conditions. Im running in a track rental on May 11th at Atco, so im hoping to hit that 10.4 at 130. After that ill be hooking up 100 shot over the summer but im not sure what kit I should use yet. Anyone have any suggestions on a good nitrous kit for my application, and how much less timing should i be running with 100 shot. Oh yea and im using an Innovate LM-1 to monitor the A/F ration. Thanks

A buddy of mine told me for a rule of thumb drop 2* for every 50 shot of NOS. In your case 4* off your total timing for 100 shot?? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
