I must admit I was somewhat skeptical that my car could pick up .2 by switching from alky to gas.
But after today I am a believer. First hit off the trailer on a hot greasy track went 7.85 @ 174!! 60' was slow at 1.13 but still equaled best 1/8 of 5.01 with 2 more mph.
Previous best was 7.97 @ 170 alky carb so a net gain of .12 and 4mph not too shabby. Good thing cause this race gas is gonna put me in the poor house
Looking for another .1 next week with shorter tire, these 34.5's are killing the slr

Congrats on your new best!! The alky is nice and consistant and runs cooler and costs less. So in a bracket car it's nice to run. But when you're not blown and looking for every last bit of hp, gas is the way to go.

thanks guys!

running Sunoco Maximal.
no other changes [both carbs are 1150's] but these were the first runs with a real hoodscoop.

I finished plumbing and wiring the nitrous system but it was so (^&^&*) hot never got to try it, track was over 140*
