Dam I disappointed a lot of people,
I'm sorry everyone
I'm #47


As you can see, it absolutely fell on it's face and had no top end at all. Ok I only got (2) 1.7 60's but that's good enough as long as I'm making power the whole way.
I did the longest burnout in the world, up to 3rd gear and for quite some time. It did slip and spin (I felt it)
It did hop a little (again) I need shims in my Truck Trak Bars.

The only thing I can think of is I'm out of Nitrous ???
How many runs can I expect to get on 10LB's ??
I did 5 runs on it last weekend at Cecil
Since the first one was a waste because it was
basically used to purge it, I squirted it 3 times
on the way to the track today, to purge it.
Stayed into it long one time "Ran Good", or so I thought.

Same Slicks
Same Pressure
NO RACING FUEL
Added 10HP on the Nitrous

And went backwards
WHAT HAPPEN ???

Ok here's how it went,
I ran the same program I ran last Saturday that got me (2) Back to Back 12.0's
That set up got me a 12.7, but only at 103 MPH ??? WTF
Then I decided to try the Nitrous Program for the next run
That set up got me a 13.0 at 93 MPH
It had no pull at all, the only thing I can think of is the Nitrous is empty and I was shooting raw Fuel (gasoline) and No Juice

WHAT DO YOU GUYS + GALS THINK ?????????????

I'm ok with it, I really am, ya I want my 11, but the test and tuning is helping me learn a lot about the Juice and my set up.
Look at what happen with the less timing, 3/10ths gone and no top end.
I believe I still need more timing ?

Next time out I will have a full tank of Juice and use Racing Fuel to rule that out.

I'M SUCH AN A$$HOLE

As I stated in my earlier post,
I re-jeted the Nitrous this morning.
To do that, I took the Throttle Body and Plate Off.
Which of course means I UN-PLUGED THE TPS

MY NITROUS SYSTEM WORKS OFF A SIGNAL
IT RECIEVES FROM THE TPS.
When you first install it, OR RE-INSTALL IT (I Guess)
you must go through a 3 step procedure.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

how do I know this you ask ???
I just put it back to street trim ( 3 nails in the rear F-1 )
And when I pulled the Nitrous Line, it had massive pressure, and was instant dry ice. So I took the bottle out, turned the key on,
Armed the Juice, and WOT it, --> NOTHING <--
NO SIGNAL TO THE TPS aka/no juice

I just did the 3 step set-up, and it's working fine again.

Dam the slicks are off and the track is closed now

Live and Learn

At least I know I clearly need more timing on my Gas program
and it runs like schitt on the Nitrous program WITHOUT NITROUS


At Least I know what it was

11's are coming BABY

Thanks Jeff
If anything I was rich, THANK GOD
Remember I'm tuned for 6lbs but only running 4.
Plus the juice program is even richer and has less timing
(my L always ran like schitt with low timing) that explains the slips. Since the Juice wasn't working, I guess I ran a whopping 12.7 on ALL GAS "on my street program" (it needs more timing)
And a 13.0 on my Race Nitrous Program WITHOUT NITROUS

But considering, thats my best all gas run, I'll take it
Former best w 4lbs all gas was 12.85
With more timing that should be a 12.5
AND WILL BE after a re-burn
