NOS results...........

[lenweiler]

...kindof .
Went racing on Sunday. Big weekend, so we had little chance to to test 'n tune. We had two dial ins then onto eleminations.
First pass on the motor, we ran a 10.75 @ 122 mph. Not bad on a fairly warm day on a street setup. No chance to fine tune.
2nd pass and used the NOS in 3rd gear for about a 3-4 second burst. Results: A 10.54 @ 129 MPH. Interesting.
3rd run and into eliminations. Crapp. Wanted to try the NOS in second gear.
Took an educated guess at the dial-in, and set it at 10.3. With a second gear burst of NOS we ran a 10.25 @ 132.45 MPH. Yes. We broke out. So after a wait, and buy back in to make a forth pass with yet cooler air, we set the dial in at 10.25.
4rth pass, engaging the NOS at 2nd gear again, we broke out turning a 10.21 @ 134 MPH.
This nitros stuff really brings out the best. Not too shabby for a full exhaust, street tired, car, without a full launch of the 150 horse shot.

Next time we'll be doing the full 1/4 off the launch. I'm guessing 10.0's at 135+. And that will slightly illegal for our non-caged car.

Just don't sniff any before your pass and you'll be OK................

:happy7:

Wow, dropped more than a half a second and didn't even lay on the button all the way through. I'm betting you'll pull a 9.9x sec run if the conditions are right.

Congratz Len! Sounds like you had fun.

 

[lenweiler]

Must admit. We both had a ball.

Nice work Len.

Nice work Len.

Thanks Fish. Lots of gain for the investment. But I'll still be watching for that 48 degree R3 block. A nice sheetmetal intake with my W7's would be The hammer I'd settle for.................

Innocent enough.........

And then

Car doesn't pull the wheels much or make a lot of noise, but it leaves a lot of heads in the stands shaking when they see the times........... lol.

NIce Ken! I think low 10s in your setup with a ful lpass dialed in is in reach too!
Congrats.. fun huh!

Atta' boy Len. You should be able to gently tap the high 9's before they wag the finger and mention the cage.

We're off to the track this weekend (I hope). Try to get some vids this time. The first runs with the NO2 had me checking the plugs and pressures constantly. Had an eye on temps and coolant too in case we developed head gasget problems. The 150 shot seems (ahem) harmless. I'll leave the bigger jets at home so we don't get greedy.

Won't be able to test this weekend. The big moparfest is on this weekend. I decided to re-route the exhaust system along the rockers and dump at the rear wheel. This will falicitate dropping the exhaust for open headders. And get rid of a couple of bends in the process. Lose some weight too.
