I know I know !!!!!!
The car ran 12.3 @ 110 on the motor last season. I have no bottle heater and on the only full run I got on the bottle, the bottle was WAY TOO COLD and the track kinda sucked Friday night.
The "slick" lane was shut down due to a bunch of breaking car oiling down the track.
Anything above 3000 rpm launch on the other lane would result in spinning off the line on E.T.Drags !!!!
I'll be back with a bottle heater and see what it'll do.

I sure hope so !!!!!
I just ordered the bottle heater, gauge and all the shit to put the gauge on the A-pillar.
Unfortunately, I left my helmet in my garage in Redding, so I am either going to have to find a helmet down here to borrow, or drive home during the week and pick mine up
Hoping to make it to Test and Tune again this Friday to see if I can learn how to drive this fucking land barge.
I still need to get my chip reburned to remove the factory rev limiter. I got my 12.36 N/A w/my RPM extender set @ 7000 rpm and a 6600 pill in my MSD. The car likes to rev to 6400 rpm in first gear. Since my RPM Extender got stolen, the best the car has run is a 12.70 @ 107 since I have to shift out of first @ 6100.

Oh well, We'll see

I bought the NOS heater and will bypass the thermostat if need be to achieved the desired pressure [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

I got my bottle filled @ Bailey Bros. here in American Canyon (3.75/lb) but will not have them refill it
#1 the guys there are a bunch of cocky Chevy loving assholes that do nothing but talk down Fords
#2 they will NOT do partial refills so it is $37.50 + tax to fill the bottle whether you need 1lb or 10lbs !!!
#3 see #1

I know there is somewhere around here to get them filled, I talked to a welding supply company last week and my be able to get the bottle filled cheaper (3.00/lb) But I am not sure if they do it there while you wait or if they have to send it out (I will find that out tomorrow)
Let me know if you find a good place to go

I think you had more personally. 410's compared to 308's is HUGE. Plus you had exhaust which would have netted me 11's pretty easily. I know all the stuff my car had, but it was all corked up. Both rare speeds with little mods though. Congrats

you guys reminiscing about your old nitrous combos is like a bunch of old dudes and their war stories :laugh: , keep it up [Big Grin]

Brian, you could try Vic Hubbard in hayward for your bottle fill, or that guy in Sacramento with the shop catering to LS1's, (norcal ls1 owner?)

Hayward is a bit out of the way for me, But I didn't think about Ralph @ Hot Rod Haven (I think that's what it's called)
Thanks for the tip
