If anyone is interested there is a Tuesday night Test & Tune at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, IL tomorrow (8/26/08). I believe it begins at 4:30 pm. There are going to be some records broken tomorrow if the weather forcast is correct. Accu-weather says 58% humidity, 77 degrees at 4:00pm and then dropping into the very low 60's or high 50's by 10:00pm...it's gonna be very fast on that famously sticky launch pad they have at Route 66.

I'm going to be making my first passes with the Mickey Thompsons mounted up and the nitrous oxide, getting her all dialed in for the L.E.T event this coming saturday at U.S 41 dragway.

Let me know if any of you are going to make it, say hi if you see me out there.

The video camera is all charged up and I have a new SD card with lots space and a friend that is ready to do some filming meeting me at the track this afternoon.

Awsome Jim! Btw how much juice do you have on the NOS system?

jrcart

Adjustable from 25-100, it's just going into the MAF sensor not into each runner port. It's a very clean looking set-up. you only see about 14 inches of hose under the hood and nothing else anywhere in the car until you pop the trunk and then all you see is part of the bottle. I've got the remote bottle opener so I can get unsuspecting drivers without having to pop the trunk or reach into the back seat. I did not want to get carried away with it, I'm not a real big fan of nitrous, but wanted some insurance HP.

Looks very good!

I like how the subtelty of the setup is. Very clean and like what you said unsuspecting. Have you dyno'ed it with 100shot running? You should be well if not close to 600rwhp.

jrcart

About 591 @ wheels, the 100 shot is not really giving me 100 more like 85

Love to see your car in action, unfortunately flying into Midway tomorrow. Although, be in the Chicago area till mid Sept.

I have a better idea, hoe in your car now and drive up to Chicago, you will be here by noon tomorrow. This Saturday is the L.E.T meet at US 41 dragway, about 20 guys from MB World will be there running our cars, I think there are a few spots open, contact ChicaoX or AMG Jerry for more info.

Sounds good,only problem, left my E350 in Crown Point last month. Clk is getting close to be modded down here. This weekend looks like the old days again. Indy on Friday: US41 Sat. See you Sat.

I remember when they were new, watching Dick Landy's Dart warmup in the morning.
