1100 psi? Your nut's Steve! Thats a bit more than 100 shot! I just got my .042 and .045; .047 will be here next week. Figured I'd work my way through them, couple runs on each for tuning till I get up to the .047. Then I'm off to the track... It's been raining a bit here in WA though, so we'll see, but I will hit 13's, and I'm only shooting for 900psi. Good luck to ya!

Step #1 done. Changed the fuel filter and re-tightened all the fuel lines to make sure they handle the coming fuel pressure. Tomorrow I'm giving her an oil change, and by Sunday the tank should be empty enough to change the pump. Hopefully Sunday night I will be able to start test runs on the .042

why yes, i am nuts. 1100psi just feels so good. What size are you planning on using in your bypass jet. i ended up with a .065 and i'm a LITTLE rich, but that's better than a little lean. the 100shot is addicting though, watch out. I still have to change my fuel filter though, i have one but i have SO many wires in the way of it.

Good luck on the new mods. I will prove that i can hit 13's with a 60 shot and a few more bolt ons. I figure if i can get my damn catback and a hollowed cat and with 1100psi on a 50 shot, i can tick teh 13.9.


Thomas...go pick on someone your own size. Maybe like Matt (Mardi) hehehehehehe. Have you been picking on poor Andi and his BPU.

Synki: I'm sure you can do it. Ive only used the 50 shot so far, but the .042 is sitting in there right now, just waiting to put the fuel pump in when the tank gets low enough. Its SOOOO damn tempting right now!
Thomas: So what are you up to??? Hmmm...
I just wish I could afford the Mod I really want right now, it comes with 5 gears...

i found out last night i break traction quite nicely when i flip on my 100shot, I also need to look into the 5 speed mod soon too. when my tranny dies, which is inevitable. i'm getting a 5-speed. SO wasn't that easy too, the fuel pump. told you so.

I gave the .042 a quick shot this morning, and I can actually feel a kick now. Are you running a window switch yet Steve? Are you leaving the NOS on through the shifts? I'm kinda worried about that power level on the tranny while it's shifting. With the 50 shot, it seemed to push my rpms a couple hundred higher before shifting. I don't want the tranny to slip past 6700 and boom, bye bye motor...

SO what do you guys think about the 100 shot?

Uhh.. i would go ahead and install a window switch and set your FPSS now. With that much NOS, gotta play it safe. Get some times, i wanna see times. You can always jsut flip on and off your activation switch before it shifts gears so you dont spray through. That is what i did.

Ohh i know what Thomas has in store. Have fun trying to catch him now.

SX7R Performance is #1! hehe.

Steve, your ghetto tranny mod is NOWHERE near what a real Vb feels and does. I am kinda interested in the ride with a 100 shot though.

The real one is progressive, the more you get into the gas, the harder the shift is. The chirping into second only occurs at WOT.
