14.0@102mph WTF?!?!
ok...little disclaimer here...so I don't get flamed....the track conditions were total cr@p tonight....I usually pull very consistant 2.2-2.25 60' times....tonight my BEST 60' time was 2.4...
anyway...to the good stuff....I took my 100-shot to the track for the first time....previous best was 14.0@99 with a 50-shot and a 2.24 60'
handicaps....I was running my STOCK y-pipe tonight becuase my cattman y-pipe has the infamous "broken flex"....rendering it completely useless...so my car has NO TOP END....I also haven't tuned my 100-shot...so it's running REALLY rich....and to top it all off....I'm running stock suspension
my BEST of three runs tonight was 14.0 (DAMMIT!!!!!) @102 with a 2.4 60'
I like the 102mph trap....but the 14.0 with a 100-shot just won't do....plus my 1/8 time was 9.2 whereas my 1/8 miles BEFORE with only my 50-shot were 9.0.....that means there was spinning going on AFTER the first 60'.....and I WASN'T spraying out of the hole....I didn't turn the juice on until second gear.....
oh well...maybe next time I will FINALLY hit 13s.....

better luck next time slow poke. Maybe if you would have let me know you were going, I would have made it up there with you to give you a push start. Later Mr. wah wah 14's while the rest of the world is at 15s. Well you can kiss my rear AE end. Oh by the way, is the meet on the 20th at Uno's in schaumburg, or somewhere else.

.069 to .071 fuel jet.. it varies.. you have to watch your fuel pressure gauge and keep going higher jets till your fuel pressure drops down.. each car will be different

He said it was not possible to run a 100 in a max because it would blow the engine since there is no way to NOT run lean eventhough I explained to him I have a Walbro 255 pump and going to install an aftermarket FPR BEFORE I attempt the 100 shot. Can you help, that guy just refused to tell me the combo. Thanks.

You get more runs and Rt.66 is much nicer. The only advantage to Great Lakes is the abundance of rice. Adam needs to work on those 60' times, 2.6 is pretty bad. Ive seen quite a few autos pull 2.2-2.3 60's. If Adam were to pull that he would be right around 15.1-15.2. I am sure he will gain 1 mph with the UDP he is getting.
Correct me if im wrong....... .1 off the 60' equates to .2 off your 1/4 time???

Something definitely isn't right. IIRC, Synki also ran a 14.0 with a 100 shot of NOS. However, he's an automatic. Plus, I think he could have done better if he had better traction. So a 5spd Maxima with a 100 shot of NOS should be even faster.

.047 NOS, and fuel will vary on your car, but you want to run around 85 psi... usually between a .055 and .073

Welcome to the club of not hitting 13's.
I ran 100+ mph trap speeds in my auto w/ 2.3 60fts.
I know traction was a HUGE issure for me when i dragged my Max, plus it would have been nice if i had a catback and a few other mods at the time.

Yeah, exactly my point. You should be well into the 13s with the 100 shot.
Maybe you should go back to NA and sell me your NOS kit. j/k
