I don't blame you...and neither will I. I want colder weather!!! I'll definitely be tuned by the winter. After I get tuned and get some good times down, I'll add some
as well. Probably just a 65 shot at first, that should put me well over 300whp.

!!!!!3.5 + nitrous + tune = broken axles on slicks...with my luck, broken axles on street tires.

thanx guys. i got new street tires so ill be goign back to the track soon and hopefully land 13's. im installing walbro 190 pump and maybe put in 100shot jets, thats a maybe though, because without slicks 1st gear and probably 2nd is goign to be useless.

I still have the same setup with the rpm switch, nitrous comes on at 3k and off at 6k (before the auto shifts)
For my 1st run, i berly had a chance to brake torque so i basically launched from almost idle or lil below 1000rpm. I took off without any spin but since nitrous dosnt turn on till 3k i had alot of lag between launch and 3k, and thats where im loosing time. here is my 1st run slip.
For my 2nd run, I launched the exact same way, i held the brake but the light didnt give me a chance to rev a lil higher (always gets me by surprice).
Also this time I removed the 6k pill from the rpm switch so that I could spray inbetween shifts, it turns out it didnt make a difference wats so ever, the previous run was better by a few hundreds.
For the third run, I put back the 6k pill since it didnt make a difference. I also switched to the other line without knowing that it wasnt as properly prepped.
This time since my 60' wasnt great (2.3) in the two previous runs, i got a lil more ready at the light and brake torque passed 1k maybe about 1500 or so, but as soon as i took off i just spun alot off the line, and since i was closer to 3k I didnt have enough momentum for the nitrous and didnt get great traction with it, also as i was going down the track in 2nd gear it felt as if occationally the tires would slip, this was my worse run in every aspect, 60', trap, and 1/4 time. Only if i could launch the same but actually hook, i would definitely do alot better.

can anyone tell me if I use 225/55/16 tires for 4 th gen Max auto, does it make my car slower on top speed or does it become slower in various speed?

u said my time n trap seem right on target for auto on 75, but is it still on target considering i have an 00vi?

1. Get 23/8.5/15 M&H slicks, on 8" alloy wheels. Set to 14psi - or less, later.
2. Bypass the window switch. Get your bottle hot - 1100psi.
3. Do a nasty burnout in the water box w/Ebrake on - let teh brake off and spin up to the staging area. (keeps the slicks dry)
4. Brake-torque as high as you can hold it at staging.
5. Floor it (and spray) as close to green-lite as you can. Keep your foot in it all the way.
That's my way now - I finally got up the nerve to do what Jime used to do. When you crack into the 13's, go to 100-shot. You'll need Jbars, but a 13.7 or lower is worth it.
Notice: this is my personal opinion, but works for me.... You can do this.
