Went to Seattle International Raceway to run my car for the second time tonight. I only got three runs in, but they were all 14.8 @ 94 mph, compared with my last run of 15.4 I think that's pretty good for an auto with a 50 shot. I ran with a full interior, I just took out the spare and my toolbox. Overall it was a good night, I'm going back on Saturday with the NWNISMO Crew. Who say's auto Max'es are slow.

I drove about 45 minutes to get to the track, and then I pretty much went straight in and started running. I don't know how much NOS I have, or the pressure, I don't have a pressure gauge yet 
or a bottle heater, so I'm sure the pressure sucked. I was just hitting it at about 34-3600 and then I left it on, since I'm an auto and all. This was only my second time at the track, so I'm still working a lot on my setup for just running period, tire pressure and all. I'm going to try again this Saturday, I want to at least get a 14.6, but with the 50 shot I don't think it's going to happen with my tires. Just remember I am running an auto, I just leave it in 'D' with the OD off. If I had a 5 speed I can just imagine what I'd be running. I need a new fuel pump!

14.2? How did he do that with just bolt ons? Is there any auto guys that can hit 14s with just bolt ons other than Don? Lowest I heard is around 15.2

I have a lot of work to do to my car still. I didn't get a good setup at all. I let a little air out my tires, but I didn't have a pressure gauge. This morning I checked it, left tire was at 18psi, right one was at 25. Probably didn't help any. I also had a ton of crap in my car still too, and I didn't let it cool down at all, all things that would probably help out a lot. I think a 14.5 is realistic for my current mods, so that's what I'm shooting for. The track was also hella hot, so hopefully the cool morning air on Saturday morning will help out, and I have a few other tricks up my sleeve.
