Well I went to the Sacramento Drag Strip last night (6-16-04) and I took my 01 GT with me. My mods are: Flowtech O/R X-Pipe going to stock mufflers ( I LOVE the sound this makes but it's a lil bit Too quite, but I like it.), K&N Air Filter, Steeda Underdrive pulleys, Steeda Timing Adjuster, C&L Intake tube, Accufab 70MM TB, C&L Plenum, NX 100 shot, 26x10.5 ET Streets. I also disconnected the front sway bar. Stock rearend, stock clutch, stock tranny, stock shifter.

The slicks were Hooking really good. I had the pressure at 12psi. The first time I launched I launched at 4000rpms, It Hooked really good but it bogged really bad. So the next time I tried it from 4500, still bogged. Thats as high as I went, the night was going good so I didnt want to press my luck. I got videos of all of my runs ( BIG THANKS TO MIKE D. THE CAMERA MAN!)
It was also 100* out side!!!!!

Seventh Run: ON the Bottle. This was the final round. I was going up against a FREAKIN STATION WAGON. He was dialed in at 17.80.
.026
1.992
5.640
8.601
83.995
11.083

13.199@106.702 got beat by .085

I didnt have as much Bottle pressure on the last run, could that result in .2 of a second? I dont understand what happened on the last run. But I ended up getting a runner-up trophy so i'm happy. Nothing broke, so I am really happy.
Congrats, to Justin in his pretty much stock Dodge Dakota/RT ran a best of 15.1 W/a 2.1 60ft.

cut your 60 down a tad and throw some aftermarket mufflers on and hopefully you will break into the 12's [Wink] , good numbers though

I am telling you.. You need to launch at 5500..
You made some good times. They screwed me and mopped the line right after you went and I could not even come close to getting any traction. Oh well. Still ran a 13.1.. Can't complain..

Your car has more MPH not sure what your problem was, but if you can keep up with me at the street races I am sure your car has 110+ in it. [Confused] I told you to launch high [Mad] , use that warrantee damit. [Eek!] Also if you are not willing to use the tires put more air in them so you won't bog. [Roll Eyes] The good new is that you will only get better. I guess the surprise attack is off now. I am sure Ed and Jason will be reading this. Also Jason will be willing to race you this weeded if you want to practice some more. [Big Grin]

BTW: Ed and Jay, Justin and Nelson set this up them selves and I didn't even know about it. Secret man everyone has secrets. [Wink]

I didnt have as much Bottle pressure on the last run, could that result in .2 of a second? I dont understand what happened on the last run.

This months Hot Rod has article on nitrous on crate engine with 650hp. Using a 10# bottle they got 225hp of nitrous. But when only 5 lbs left, it still heated to 900psi but lost almost all 225 hp from nitrous.

Seems there is a residual amount before the 900psi pressure will move nitrous. Or something like that. I've felt same with full psi, but not much power per seat of pants.

When I bleed the bottle before taking in to refill (won't top off), a lot of something comes out. My second bottle is now 15#.

So yeh, I think low nitrous can easily cause loss of .2 ET.

Anyone else same experience?

i agree, if you out some 3.73 s or wont drive on the freeway much go with some 4.10s. this will make a world of a diifferance,,,,add a lil bit more psi on those tires and launch at 5k rpms. also get some good mufflers like magnaflow or bassani good stuff man!! yer almost there!! i see a mid 12 sec if not low 12 sec time slip in the future. you have a warranty, just make sure and take the nitrous and slicks stuff away so thier is no ?s, and tell them it just fucked up on you(not at the track) i have a buddy that has 2 new motors and 3 trannies....lol so dont be scared and have fun!

Your 60 foot times need work. Once you learn to launch the car all of your times will improve!
