At the track I ran 5 full runs with nitrous and this morning I checked the gauge and it was around 825 psi with no bottle warmer on it, so I figure there's a few more runs in it. I mean, as much as I love running 12's, its impossible to make every track and street event every weekend. I really don't see me going to the track again until I at least get a VLSD pumpkin. If someone wants to call this car out, then just give me an hour notice and I'll be ready
my point is.. if you want to claim $2000 in mods for 12.5 .. then you have to factor in all the fill up's you have done since you had your nitrous system..

everyone always claims cheap power with nitrous and how fast their cars are.. but no one factors in how many times they fill the damn bottle

You got me! $2030=12.5!

Installed it Friday and ran a 12.5 Saturday. Although some of the money in Misc. was for a fill-up. I just thought to keep it at a round number.

Thumbs up

The cost is secondary. 12.5 seconds is awesome. Great driving.

Yeah, I ran a 2.9 with a 100 shot. Could've done better, it was the first run with a horrible burn out(first time with DR's)! What kit did you have? I know the NX rates there's on WHP. I believe NOS is Crank HP, and seeing that NS was started by one the original owners of NOS, I figure its Crank HP. I really need to get this confirmed.

yup and when people buy cars, no one ever factors in annual gas to that price!

Oops, another $0.13!

We need to get on a dyno! I know the tune is too conservative... which is not your style!

If filling up your NOS bottle should go up on your mod list, then filling up with race gas at the track should added also. Either way, 12.5 is a pretty awesome run.

With your next $1500 dollars or so, I would consider some weight reduction. Some dont cost any money at all, (removing spare if you havent already and such) or perhaps lighter battery, radiatior, wheels, seats etc. Thats where most of money money is going to be spent this winter.

you need to get rid of that open diff!!


it is possible to run 11s on a Z with slicks, a way to retard the timing and a 150 shot...


good luck jay!!

i happen to have a "friend" with a bottle warmer very very close that i can get you for right under 200 bills brand new when you get a couple dollars, the difference in 875 and 1050 is HUGE!!!! no joke..

Good point, but then all it takes to take someout out is 10 seconds or less right? So after you've done your business you can cruise on home with a big smile on your face doing a slow 65mph
