i meant more consistant GREAT results...not consistant runs. i am sure it is consistant as hell when the bottle pressure is on par with any method...

what i meant is a 150 shot through a plate more often hits 150 or more on the dyno and the torque goes through the roof. with nozzles it sometimes seems like hit or miss with the size pills you choose.

regency, my truck is exactly like yours. within .01 each run on any given night. one night i ran 2 IDENTICAL time slips. r/t to the 1/4...the mph varied just a hair but every number aside from mph was EXACT. i just wish i was as consistant on the tree as my truck haha.

i hear ya on the tree man!! i hit it the almost the same time everytime but between my reaction and the tires reaction sometimes it just flat out sucks!! i need to up the pressure some but if i remember correctly when i did raise the pressure it spun and when the pressure is low it hooks so hard that it wrinkles til the rim is on the ground..lol!!!! I run 12.5# in the tires but i ran my best time after hotlaping without checking tire pressure so im not sure what the PSI was on that 3rd run. thats starting with 12.5psi doing burnout, run comeback, sit in hot staging lanes then burnout again and run, but this time i spin off the line, come back and sit again, then burnout again and burnout again and hook hard and run my best so im thinking maybe 15 psi for the tires next time

Personally gained about 1.4 sec & ~10mph on a 100 shot. Buddy gained 2.8 sec. However, he was runnin 16.3@84 with a 224 cam, stock gears, crew cab, & 2500 converter full weight in July heat. Went down to 13.5@100 on the 150.

Last time at the track made 4 passes, 125 wet plate. Truck went 14.12, 14.3x, 14.3x, and 14.09. The two slower passes had a lot of wheel hop.
