It's not uncommon when using race fuel to have a rich condition due to today's fuels. Most pump gas has 10% ethanol in it, race fuel should be straight gas.

Tried out the new set-up for the first time at the track. It is .43 and 4 mph faster in the 1/8 mile than my last set-up. Still not hooking up completely only 1.85 but slick was spinning on rim and my home track never preps right. The inline is coming out and will be replaced with dual intanks since fuel pressure dropped 6 psi during nitrous pass.

What's your full suspension setup? I'm curious as to why you're only pulling a 1.85 60ft with your combo and previous ET's. I doubt the slick was spinning on the rim if the track wasn't prepped.

Are both pumps on the same circuit? One pump may be not getting a full "12" volts.

NICE! Are you spraying through your shifts? Yea, I wouldn't go ***** out until your FP is ironed out. You are not using a dedicated fuel system for the nitrous correct?

I also agree with what the guys said about your shift points...That puppy is making power up top now with the 90/90.

Intank is on stock wiring and inline is in on it's own wiring. That time decrease was all motor I haven't made a full nitrous pass cause it cut off on the FPSS. When I get the chance I will be spraying through the shifts and yes I'm still running nitrous off fuel port.

stock suspension with 2" shacke drop and caltracs. Slick was spinning cause valve stem ended up on a different letter everytime. In hind sight I got the best hook with 15 psi and then started to go up as I decreased air. I'm going back this weekend to practice more on the launch cause I know it has alot more left in it.
