WOW!! I have no idea how Scrming came up with removing the front springs to gain a weight transfer to the rear wheels.. I'm speechless!

AWW Yah Fazm!! Thats all he needs is alittle squat, and its runnin true da traps @ anything from 12.99 to 12.70..
This will also allow him to increase his launch RPM speed as well.. Not sure by how much, maybe another 1000rpm..

but you guys have to show up at Norwalk on Saturday to take my sway bar off... I've already appointed Jimp to be in charge of this! LOL!
BTW... I'm launching at around 1500... Stall is lower than 2500...

With those stock springs in, I know at only 1500RPM you wont break those tires loose.. You should be in real good shape now..
As far as I am concerned the goal is 12.99ET.. I'm confident 12.7 can be achieved, but all thats really needed to make a statement is 12.99..

Actually, I know it seems like alot of pressure.. However, only focus yor attention on .5 tenths.. This is your goal.. With your 13.4 run, you left some on the table because of weight transfer.. Now that you have gained this back, for the rest of this week, in your mind you only need to recapture the .5 tenths you left on the table previously.. .7 tenths may put too much pressure on you.. LOL!! So I just want you to know, that we'll all accept .5 tenths.. This is your race and your mission.. Dont think of the 12.99 in total, because it goes by too quickley.. By the time you imagine a 12.99 run, 20 seconds has already gone by.. So look at next weekend, as your only there to steal back .5 tenths of a second back from time.. Your almost there @ 13.4.. Its not that much.. I want you to dream of .5 tenths.. 
Thats your race...
Thats your race...

And Matt from Zex thinks I might pick up some more top end by running 2 bottles (2nd bottle and heater going in tomorrow!)

Nice, so now you'll have the benefit of 2 bottles.. Very nice.. Put it this way Scrming, you just concern yourself with the .5 tenths for now.. I'll have a talk with .7 tenths at the party later on.. I'll buy him a few drinks, and try and make him see things my way once he gets tipsey.. Dont worry, if I see .8 tenths at the party wobblin round, I'll buy his chubby azz a drink to, and put in a good word on your behalf!

What's the purpose of the second bottle besides another 24lbs in the rear?

I would think twice the pressure.. Instead of one bottle pressurizing the system, you would double it, making the spray more dense.. Just my thoughts, not really an educated guess, just a theory...

Also with 2 bottles you lessen the hit on each bottle during the 1/4... which should help my top end... think more consistent pressure through out the whole run...
and how cools is 2 bottles going to look come car show season next spring! LOL!

Ahh. Sounds like the dude just wanted to sell scrming an extra bottle.

Doesn't double your pressure... simply keeps it more constant through the entire run...
I mainly bought it for capacity... Not only for the track but also when I drive to Flint to get the bottles filled!

You and Lidio need to make a "real" road trip and come to North Carolina around Jan. or Feb., when the snow up north is DEEP
