trapping over 100 mph with no tune and no grip is damn good

keep in mind he couldnt hook up out of the hole. Basically was trying to get 220+ hp to hook up on stock tires and suspension out of the whole. Not to mention, that 75 shot was untuned, all of his mods were untuned so they were nearly as effective as they will be now that he is tuned and will be looking into a set of drag radials.

He should easily be into the 13's. Mid 13's is my guess if it hooks

but I was PMing him last night and he was at 15.1 with out spray and it dropped him to 14.4 That i more of what I am looking for. He dropped a half a second with nitrous, yes with bad traction.

I'll post next Friday when I go to the track with some bfg dragradials bwoody traction bars and motor mounts and the new tune honestly its a huge diff with spray well worth it my buddy has a older body style m3 fully bolted and tuned and I pull pretty hard on him from a roll untuned

u gotta rember 100mph trap speed is a high 13 untuned is pretty good fwd suck ass outa the hole but damn does it pull hard in second

Yes but the car still will run much better with a tune that is nitrous friendly. Chevy doesnt tune these cars expecting you to spary nitrous lol. So untuned he went from 15.1 to 14.4 without any decent traction. So even with just a tune and no traction, he will still knock off a few tenths.

Im still in debate on what im going to do with mine, not sure if i want forced induction or nitrous. Will be another year or so before i decide, depends on our economy, i was going to go back and get a jeep but if chrysler goes under then im not going to buy their product lol

well of course..its still adding a lot of power..and if you spray once you have traction, you're golden. spraying pre-traction wouldnt get the power to the ground anyway

yeah you have nice trap speed, when are you starting to spray? 2nd gear? what RPMs?

yeah I am in the same boat, I want to get exhaust, some gauges, and tires and see where I am at. That is another reason I am looking at the W/M/N mix, I may not need the full power of nitrous to get where I want to be. If I get to close to 13 flat at MIR you have to start getting safety gear and all that stuff.

True, but the real question (for me) is will I want/need a nitrous set up? If I am going with a smaller shot of nitrous then why not just get the W/M/N mix? its cheaper and easier to set up and doesn't need to be tuned. I have been reading that a step or so colder plugs could help with the nitro.

haha not bad, I am trying to avoid that at the moment. The track here doesn't do anyone until you run at time. The people at the timing booth are the ones that will clamp down on you if you don't have the right gear.


But I am still leaning towards W/M/N. I am hoping to hit you nitrous times with better tires and full exhaust or damn near close to them.
