I'm not sure how much better the ET will get though. I'm thinking you'll see more of a difference in MPH.

I want to say, that if you pull the 1.6x 60' again, then you will see 10.85 @ 129-130. If you decided to spray a little earlier like around 3x mph then i think the ET will be higher. I think this is going to mainly depend on that 1/8 mile time

Are you spinning bad with the factory tires. I have been thinking about going to drag radials on all 4s and try to get 1.5s 60 ft. I have been 1.63 on 20" wheels already with the factory motor and 100 shot. With the 408 and 75 shot I am hoping 1.55 is in the future. Btw are you running a factory maf. I am thinking you will run 10.71 with a 1.65 60 ft.

14.8 @ 147, LOL. That would suck. I say a 10.7 @ 125-130.

droping

1 gal meth 6lb
1 gal washer fluid 8lb
change in door 1.5lb
coat 2lb
camera bag 4.5lb
computer bag 6.5lb
floor mats 7lb
glove box junk 1.5lb
seat 60lb?
5 gal fuel 32lb

for a total of 129lbs. the only thing i am guesing on is the seat. this is aditional weight reduction over what i had the last couple of trips to the track.

i do have a serious traction problem. with boost only i can light the tires up to 40+mph. i use the boost controler to phase in the boost based on mph. i can dial it in right to the limit of my traction. i figure i will make a couple of 1/8th mile runs working on my launch and then decide when to hit the nitrous. right after the 1-2shift would be the safest and easiest on driveline parts. i am into 2nd within 3sec so i will still be spraying for 7+sec.

if i had the driveline and traction to go full power out of the hole i am prety sure i would see a 9sec run but that is the chalenge for many people, geting the power to the ground. i haven't done much in that area. even with the nittos i dont think i will be able to crank it off the line but hopefully it will do better when i get those.

yeah the nittos will help a whole lot more than you think just depending on what size you go with. i had 285/50/18's ang they could hook up with 100 shot plus a couple small mods right out of the hole if i just turned them over a coulple of times. good luck on the new time by the way i'm gonna say a 10.68
