Exactly. Sounds great, feels dead.

Here is the nitrous run I never posted. Since the juice was cutting on and off, the ET was slow. The MPH wasn't bad though.

12.95 100 shot

1.8something. If you notice, the launch wasn't very good. It had a little nitrous hit, then nitrous shuts down and it bogs a little, then catches some more nitrous and runs.

How is your bottle mounted? Is it mounted so that the pickup tube in the back of the bottle will be wet under heavy acceleration?

Sounds like you are shifting gears in that thing ... Are you hitting the rev limiters? or is it not spraying in the shift?

thats exactly what my truck sounded like with TM, my throttle plate was actualy closing, that can't be good when you are spraying right at it and it isn't even open.

At the strip my 60" times fell to 2.6s due to more tire spin, and I gained an average of 3-mph with my cutouts open vs. my cutouts closed. Thats with no stall, so I dont think it hurt my low end torque.

No Back Pressure = Less Torque, is a Myth.

Its all in the tune, If you tune for an open exaust, you will see greater HP and torque.

If your truck is tuned with the exhaust in place and then you open the cutouts, the tune will be off and you have the potential for lost torque and HP depending on how far off it throws your A/F ratio.

Thats what its all about.
