my 6 runs in one video 12.2@114

http://www.thefoat.com/?sg=v.video&video_id=2068

You can see where on some runs dyno mode was messing up my launch. Launching in 2nd and sometimes 3rd. lame.

the last run was when I figured out you gotta shut off dyno mode before taking off.

Good stuff right here. I just went and looked on Dragtimes and it looks like that shot bumped you to just a little slower than what most of the blown C55s are running.

I can't afford a blower. I like the NOS because 99% of the time I'm on the street and don't need the extra power. Plus, I can wrap on it all day and it's just stock power. With a blower, you're really killing the motor if you punch it all the time. I figure I'll up my NOS until I'm on par with the blower guys. That way I'm not over doing it lol

150 shot next?

i just noticed my car sounds like a stick shift. I let off the nos at 5800 and hit it again after the tranny shifts. sounds like I'm granny shifting a stick. Might go high 111's with a better tranny or at least up the line pressure with those blue tops lol

Not true, there's guys running Kleemanns who have in excess of 100 K miles and they're not killing their motors?? I would think that short burst of NOS is worse than the SC blowing less than 6 psi??

You would be about # 10 C55 on Dragtimes with those numbers. The guys ahead all have blowers.

I love how your car just hooks and goes, no drama. Nice runs and thanks for sharing.

yea, another nice thing about NOS is it hooks really well. Stock HP until 3000 rpm. 60' time suffers a bit but no wheel spin off the line.

1.8 60' was my best.
