1st run w n20

went to dragway 42 in ohio for the first time since i hooked up my nos kit.
it was kinda cold im running a stock 05 vic value package w/ a 75 shot
my best run was a 15.5 @95mph
i think this can be better but im not able to shift fast because im holding the throttle switch in my hand and i dont want to rip the wires off.
is that time really bad?

"I need NOS, two of the big ones" had to do it. So you are running a 75 shot on stock internals???

15.5 is kind of high for a 75 shot. lower the tire pressure and get a wot switch you should be able to hit a 15

There is nothing wrong with running a 75 shot on stock internals. People were just having a prob with the FAF quotes.

oh im sorry bro, i didnt mean to offend you with the joking quotes, they are making fun of the fast and the furious... im sure theres no way you would blow a weld on your manifold with nitrous. i got a little caried away after the first one haha

15.5 is pretty bad with that kind of trap speed.
You should easily be in the 14's
practice and it will come.

Did you try taking off the intake and mounting the switch then putting the intake back on. I dont' think its very safe to be holding the WOT switch in your hand like that. Its an accident waiting to happen.
