The Valiant had been begging for a squirter change in the front all week long, I just didn't have the size I needed. With the warmer air, and a little more heat in the engine, it once again hesitated at the hit, killing the 60ft time. when I grabbed the nitrous, the shift light, which was set at 6200 (I didn't bring any higher RPM modules either), came on instantly, I banged second immediately, and the shift light stayed on! With the terrible 60ft, all the nitrous did was even up the 330ft to my better NA runs. The stretchy truck with it's twin turbo BBC drove by me as I clicked it in drive with the shift light still shining in my face. At 1100, it popped back against the 7200 top end chip a couple of times, so I lifted off the nitrous and drove through the traps on motor. That ended Drag Week 2014 for the Valiant, with the disappointing realization that my little JW 8" converter that works so well on the street, and strip, was definitely NOT a nitrous converter!
