We need a video of the reaction of the guy you were up against.

How are people at the track reacting to a mid 11's Maxima?

It doesn't matter how good his reaction time is. I've gotten a perfect reaction time. The reaction time has no effect on the run. I don't understand why people keep giving reaction times so much praise.

Anyhow mardigras that is still an incredbile time.

Because it is a sign of a good driver. I can pull good 60' for my power level, but I can't do it and cut a good tree at the same time. Just shows skill.

A perfect reaction time will only happen once every 100+ runs and sometimes people never get perfect trees. How many pro's do you see cutting .000 lights? Lets see your slip of the perfect reaction time....

WERD!!!!

It's not that people are saying the time contributed to his 1/4 mile run, it's just that many people don't hit the RT on the mark. Very impressive.

R/T can win heads up races too, not just bracket. If your opponent runs 13.50 and you run 13.60, you can still beat him if you cut, say, .050 and he does .200.

My personnal best is a .522 (on a .500 tree), but I only have 11 runs under my belt.

Yeah, R/T is very important; while it does not effect the time you will run, it does matter if you're racing the guy next to you. I managed a .053 R/T once, which is pretty decent.

Why?? so he can spin 3rd gear on street tires? lol I would imagine that 1st and 2nd are completely usless in street trim with the juice.

However, 4rth gear is probably SICK with a 120mph trapspeed. My brother's bpu supra trapped that much and the pull in that car in insane!! But now it has a single66mm and is just scarey!

Nice work btw Matt! can't wait for the 3.5

Thanks!

With 255/45 Pilot Sports 3rd is not a problem. Now 1st with juice would be a joke. 2nd it might hold if it didnt hit right at the shift. If it let go their would be two pretty black stripes for a good while, gotta luv it!

And as far as how the motor is holding together with this much power (still my OEM 70k original motor) www.jandssafeguard.com !!!

I think JWT retards the timing on the safe side. I don't even think his J&S is picking up anything even at these boost levels.

When you say this level do you mean on or off the nitrous. Also did you get my pm about the plugs? You probably got alot of PMs in recent days I would imagine.
