Well that's three people now,DJmota, KJracing and Scansel that have knocked around 1.5 secs and gained around 10mph with a 50shot. So me running low 15's and knocking off 1.5 secs too would put me where you said I wouldn't go. I'll be heading to the track for Midnight madness on July 1 but I will be only running a 35shot. We'll see how close I can get. Can't wait.
Very pleased with Scansel's times. Good job again.

I hate scanning slips, it always takes me like a 100x's to get it to come out clear and small enough to post.
Yeah I dunno I just can't drive my car n/a or with nitrous for that matter. Maybe its my 50 dollar kuhmo tires? The bottle pressure was just right above 900 psi. Yes I do spray in first as soon as I get traction which I really believe is neccesary to get a good time so I suggest you try it redline04. What RPM do you usually gain traction in first? Yea sorry about the quality, it was on my friends scanner and he had no clue how to work it. I was over there for an hour trying to get it to work. The track I race at however is the fastest 1/4 mile track in the world right now though BTW.

I hope to run a mid to low 14 on DRs, but we shall see. As far as spraying in 1st gear I was thinking like this. I am launching at 5k and shifting into 2nd at 6500. Since I'm already pulling a 2.0 60ft I don't think I'd be in first much longer than those 2 secs to even justify spraying. Then again I never really timed it so I will just have to see when I go to the track.
FYI I got everything hooked up last night and was so tempted to make a quick trip to the track but there was a severe Tstorm warning. I've only tested it once so far to make sure it was working and just in third gear(ran out of road). I was a bit scared. Like a virgin on Prom night. Def felt something for that brief mooment through third gear. I really would love to test it out at the track and get more comfortable with my setup but I have a feeling tonight I will be looking to test it out on someone.

Keep us informed! I'm going to go to the track next Wednesday and try the 75 shot jets. My friend might lend me some drag radials so hopefully I can lower it even more. I want to break below 14.5 with stock interior (Except spare) on a 50 shot.
