It ran 11.59 @ 118 mph off the trailer. I told my buddy on the way there it would run high .50's low .60's at 4000 ft. DA and it did with consistency.

Cracked the bottle on a 150 shot and it ran 10.69 @ 128! Whooo, best ever!

Impressive, considering the time of year and the DA. Those bottle hits can become addictive though (voice of experience)! Congrats!

It's never needed a gear. I built a large dump truck motor. laugh2

Other than kicking a few degrees of timing out and upping the idle screw, it was the way I drove it all last week as a parts chaser around town.

Pretty soon you'll be going through the 60 foot on your back tires!

I wasn't expecting a whole lot out of the track this weekend. They do what they can, but it was Grudgefest and it brings out the hard, street tire guys. That usually means the track is less than ideal after a few passes.

Very nice! One of my old combos ran 11.40s on motor and went 10.69 at 123 mph on a 150 shot. Had to let off early due to rev limiter. That was a real fun driveable combination.

That's what is great about this combo. I do run 91 no ethanol using the nitrous but it is just as happy running pump swill during the week. No expensive race gas, minimal prep ( I checked tire pressures before we left) and minimal hassle. Other than adjusting the rear shocks and kicking out timing, I never touched the car all night.

This is great to hear, glad your getting to enjoy your ride, and it sounds nearly trouble free.

Not that I've seen so far.

The guy that usually shoots my video wasn't there.

That's what I love a very low maintenance car that runs good. When I go racing all I do is pull my little air filter out and bleed the rear tires from 28 psi to about 16 psi and that's it. I never change any timing or jets from how I drive it on the street. Its raced just as I drive it other then the air filter. And I never lift the hood all day when racing. I love low maintenance muscle cars. up Ron
