That's funny. I assumed that's why your dial is a 12.00 on the timeslip
Did they hassle you when you picked up your 10 second slip? You need to get to a private track rental, they're usually pretty relaxed about tech on private days.Not even close - I keep going back and forth on some details. I have most of the parts, still working on bottom end and fuel system.
These are the boxes from Australia that I received recently

Back at you. You went ten's, like what feels like, five years ago before all the hoopla.

Wayne does that kit mount in the rear of the car or under the headers ?

Yeah, I figured they wouldn't be too happy. Even worse since they'd already warned you.
It's a front/low mount. I'm not a fan of the rear mount setups. It's made by APS. Here is a picture of the turbo setup. And a link to their website - http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/corvette/c5.htm

. Wow that has to be the best engineered kit on the market now. The workmanship is definitely top notch. It looks nicer than the Proturbo-kit.

Roll Bar?
Rflow 306,
Do you have a roll bar in your car? I thought NHRA rules required a roll bar if you run faster than 11.5s. Low 11s probably could sneak by, but how did you run a 10.75 without a roll bar?? Did they say anything when you picked up your slip?

We are there pretty often so they are kind of lenient with us and they let some things slide. Our other buddy Ricky ran 11.29 and they didn't hassle him too much either.Two white E55's haulin ***

No his car does NOT have a roll bar in it. They warned him when he went 11.34 but he told them that he wasn't going to go that fast again We are there pretty often so they are kind of lenient with us and they let some things slide. Our other buddy Ricky ran 11.29 and they didn't hassle him too much either.Two white E55's haulin ***

Way to go Albert! I can only imagine how good that must have felt to get that slip showing you well into the 10's. You will be a marked man for sure at the track so you'll probably have to start tunning it at track rentals. Like some of the other guys have said, tech is usually pretty loose at the rentals. My last rental we had a Buick GN that ran a 10.2 without a cage. Crongrats again on your runs.

Are you using any sort of activation, other than a button?
When I was spraying, I'd use a master arming switch -> wot switch -> window switch - to activate the nitrous. This made sure I wouldn't spray too low, but it makes tuning launches a little easier when you spray at the same RPM each time (rather than hitting a button manually).

I have an arming switch, wot switch (connected to the kick down button) and a push button. A window switch would be the best choice but i would have to figure out the rpm pickup. My next move is a progressive controller to hit it with 35 to 40 horses the minute the car rolls forward and 100 soon afterwards.
What do you think?

Not sure on the RPM pickup, but you definitely want a window switch. You don't want to spray too low or you risk a backfire. I'd start at WOT/3000rpm and then move it down from there. With the stock converter, you don't want to spray out of the hole. There's a couple .10 in spraying out of the hole, but you'd need a looser converter to do it.
