Wensday and Friday street nights are still open. I hope to make it there one of those days weather permitting. I still need to adjust the shift firmness a little.

I'll be running in Mod Motor class. They take your best qualifying time and your dial in is one tenth lower.

Great job. Are you guys talking about going to the NMRA World Finals in Bowling Green KY? My wife will be racing there in Mod Motor. For those of you that are interested I was worried about the plug factor as well but have been running with 125hp shot on the street and at the track and all I have done is add some octane additive and pulled 2 degrees of total timing out above 4000 RPM. No troubles with the plugs or detonation yet, haven't even had the computer throw a fit.

Mike and I are running in the Mustang Shootout at New England Dragway this Saturday. I'll try the 100 shot with a mix of 100 octane and see what happens. Good luck in Bowling Green.

I just read a little about the JMS chip car losing it's spark plugs, they must be putting a lot of nitrous to the car and leaning out the fuel mixture to do that kind of damage, and run those times. Good luck at the mustang shootout, both of you. I am meeting up with David (169Stang) as long as he doesn't run into any more snags with his latest mods.

I guess the most obvious question is since you had it tuned, what did it dyno at?

Great Job George!. Amazing 60' as well. Do you feel the stall had the main impact on the launch and the 1/4 ?

Also, do you have any traction issues at 6000 RPM + ? I ask because when my car hit 6000 RPM's in 1st, the tires loose all traction and immediatly hit 6500 RPM's.

George has giant Mickey Thompson's on his back end, I don't think he loses much!

The converter helped quite a bit. My 60's dropped 2 tenths, my ET dropped 4 tenths.

I have no traction issues at all. I run 16 psi in the M/T ET Street Radials. I feel the line pressure in the tranny is too high. The shifts are real harsh. When I run the car Wednesday night I'll drop the line pressure some until I get a nice firm shift.

George,I have come to the conclusion that one bottle is not going to be enough.I think you will be lucky to get three runs out of one 10lb bottle.I cant remember if they fill the bottles at the track or not?It will take a bottle just to dyno.Then another for qualifying ,Then another for eliminations.I have some older NOS bottles but they are out of inspection date.

You can get the bottle filled at the track, $4.50 a pound. The kit has a fitting for the nozzle. I think you can get more than 3 runs on a bottle. Zex says a 75 shot will last 10 runs, a 125 shot 6 runs.

Okay, I've gotten 2 long dyno sessions and a 4 full nitrous runs at the track on much less than 1 bottle. If you are running with a 100 shot you can get roughly 2 minutes of use out of it.
