New best times @ Cecil!!!

I just want to say that I had a blast hanging out and racing this past weekend at Cecil! It was such a great time for myself and my wife. I could not have been pitted with better people (Fast Freddie, Johnny AC, Matt, Jim and many others). Well we went out to debut our motors this past weekend with some great results. Still running very very conservative programs, we did the following runs!!!

60ft 1.616 11.722 @ 114.83mph
This was on the stock Eaton and a conservative 10.5 A/F, no ice or cool down.

Then went out on a 150 shot of nitrous but the bottle pressure was only 600psi.

60ft 1.585 11.239 @ 119.65mph
This was on 9.5deg timing and a very safe 9.5 A/F

Now bottle pressure was up and ready to go.

60ft 1.548 11.137 @ 121.43mph
There was some tire spin on the launch and the 28" tires are making me run out of gear at the end. More is to be had with larger 30" tires.

Went to try again on the nitrous

60ft 1.681 11.532 @ 116.16mph
Well the tires went up in smoke, I hit the nitrous right off the line and just smoked them.

Went out to support the first run of a 11.72 on all motor and no cool down at all went right back in line after the run above.

60ft 1.668 11.789 @ 114.21mph
It did not hook very well on this run and also got very scary at the top end. A car after me spun around and after that found out that there was antifreeze down on the track.

These runs were all done with only the spare tire removed.

AWESOME TOMMY
SMOOOOOOOKING ET's
EXCELLENT RESULTS, Glad the Motors are runnig so strong


Can I ask a question ?
How do you get any power AT ALL with no timing ???
I tried 11-12 degrees on mine w/ juice and it fell flat on it's face.
AN ABSOLUTE DOG
Went back to 16 degrees for Nitrous, and WAM 11.8
STOCK EVERYTHING, filter chip t/b n pulley only

BTW, I run 18 degrees 24/7 on the street and also for all gasoline runs at the track, I believe in driving and racing on the same program. Even there I experimented with 10 differant tunes over 2 years and came to the same conclusion, anything under 15 or 16 degrees and it just cuts in and out all the way down the track, from 16 degrees on, it pulls like a raped ape the whole way.

Very impressive #'s for no timing
Interesting to say the least, please explain ????

60fts and a great setup!!!!!! I still have the stock throttle body!!! I have to say that I am very happy with my setup and you will see much faster times from the Outrageous Performance camp very soon. BTW, this was also on 112oct (slowed me down)

I have a stock block Lightning with 5.5# of additional boost and a 100shot. This thing is going to fly!!! Stay tuned

Yes...I will be responding soon but I will not run them any more. They ran great until I started running the nitrous, then it would shut off. Think it had to do with the plugs being non resistance.
