Congrats!

I wouldn't worry about adding more tire right now, I would get the rest of your suspension squared away, and then keep on practicing. More tire will only end up hurting you at the far end of the track.

What RPM were you launching at? Why weren't you using the "2-step"?

whats size shot were you running and do you know what psi the bottle was at?

[Drone51]

just saw the pics of your nitrous set up you know you should not spray before the maf with a wet kit right?

[kristen]

running a 100 shot, not sure of the psi cause my hose busted to my gauge a few weeks back and i'm still waiting for the company to send me my replacement. i have my nitrous set up just the way n/x told me too. i wasn't using the 2 step because ttp never put it back in. i am going to put it back on. then iwill be lauching at like 3 grand.

I think your 2 step was the problem just MO tho

just get some LCAs that should help out and a Torque arm

bottle psi is CRITICAL on a wet kit [img]smile.gif[/img]

[kristen]

i know i let it heat up while i was there it's not like i was running 600 psi or anything. you know you get a good sence what psi your at by the heat of your bottle! and i have lca's and a torque arm

[1DangerousV6]

yup..i actually know that on mine..when the blue knob you turn to open it starts to get warm its at about 1100psi

look into some control arm relo brackets and think about a small set of drag radials. et streets are good tires, but they would be a bit much for your needs and would not allow you to optimize your ET.
do you drop your front sway bar at teh track? it does a lot to help teh front end lift and lean that weight onto the back tires.

keep improving that launch and you will be into the 12's in no time.

no i haven takin the front sway bar off. does it hurt to have it off all the time?

[black96V6]

u should take ur front sway bar off. i think it helps a lot. i have been running without 1 for a while it doesn't hurt nothing.


o yeah and nice time [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

I even got rid of the the sway bar brackets, it's never going back on. I also roll on skinnies everyday.

[shenanigans]

doesn't hurt nothing but your car will handle like ***...

feels more like a pickuptruck, and is more prone to get the tail out.

I have gone a month or two without it, its not that bad, but I can't stand not having a car that handles decent.

it doesn't hurt anythign to take the front sway off.
at teh track it drops a little bit of weight off the front end and also allows the frotn suspension to droop another inch or so. the further the front stands up the more weight lays onto the drive wheels.
on teh street you will have to slow down a little bit mroe going into corners. but it is nothign difficult to live with unless you regularly drive like you are in formula 1. [img]smile.gif[/img]
if nothing else it is worth a try. just a few bolts, if you don't like it you can throw it back on in 10minutes anyway.
