n2o Blazer vs. Lightning & SRT-4
Well went to the meet on sat. and saw a kid from school with a lightly modded lightning and he asked if i wanted to go so we did. I was surprised b/c i was only on a 50 shot.... but had good bottle pressure 1100 
But then i went against a stock SRT-4 and i thought to have it even be close with the stock srt-4 was crazy.... but i guess the run low to flat 14's so wasnt that surprising.....(nitrous was cutting in/out and finnally just cut totally out against the SRT-4 which ment a loss for the blaz.......
I was only running a 50 shot last night (Forgot 75's @ home)
The lighting had Nitto555r's, traction bars, intake, exhaust, shift kit-
We went from a dig on both runs-
1.) Launch with lighting and dead even through first gear, we hit second and starts pulling away, by 70 he had a length and a half on me (BTW i let him heat up the DR's)
2.) launch with lightning and even through 1st, bye 70 had a good length on me.
Was gonna go with the 75's but didnt have them....
THE SRT-4- RUNNING OUT OF NITROUS AHHHHH!!!!!
From a dig-
1.) Rape him off the line and jump out about 2 1/2 lengths, hit second nitrous cutting in and out, and bye third nitrous cut's out and the SRT-4 rapes me
2.) From a 20 roll (where the SRT-4 is spooling)- even to about 65 and then he starts pulling away and had about a length and half bye 80-
All in all two good races and i will be back with the bigger shot and exhaust next week (hopefully) and make another go @ both those guys- although i was surprised-
All in all once again thanks to the sponsers who made it all possible

Lightnings are a b**** to launch.Of course I'm still running street tires which makes it harder but anyways like 203cree said with that kind of tq along w/ no weight in the back it's tough.

Things to do for traction
1)Lower the rear end some , ESPECIALLY AN 03-04 L!
2)Drag radials....if you're anything over stock there is no question on this. Run them at 20-22psi or the center of the tire goes fast. I'am on my third set. The last two sets I ran at 26psi and that was still to much.
3)remove a leaf spring to aid in weight transfer.
4) Rancho type traction bars, these help significantly with wieght transfer. I ran slapper bars for a while and they are marginal.
5)Lower the tire pressure on the stock tires, the recommended 32psi is way too much for good traction. If I recall I usually ran 26psi.
