Not bad for the first runs with the N20, any ideas on what this would be in the 1/4

Well I got to finally test out my nitrous at the track tonight, the runs were pretty consistent except for my last one, but I had to shut down halfway through. My best run is as follows

60'-2.32
ET-9.32
MPH-80

AS you can tell these were 1/8th mile runs, I was wondering if you could use some formula to tell what it would have been in the 1/4.

9.32 works out to 14.4-14.6 in the 1/4. Your trap speed is really high though, meaning you're spinning (as evidenced by your 60' also) and your car has potential to be quite a bit quicker.

Yes I was having really bad traction problems, I wasn't really sure what to expect, once I hit the nitrous I would whel hop all the way through 1st and then spin for a while when I shifted into 2nd, if I can just get this thing to put the power to the ground I would be doing ok. I never had these problems before I got the Kuhmo tires, never get those things again, and thanks for the input.

Did you try without spraying in first gear?

No I didn't try not spraying in first, I did not have a full botlle so I only got to do about 4 nitrous runs, I had one good run going at the end but I had to shut down half way because one of my vacuum lines blew off on the bypass tee. It bleww off just after I shifted into 2nd and I costed to a 10.2 @54mph. I will have lots of juice to try different stuff this friday, but the more suggestions you guys can give me the better, thanks.

I will be buying a new setup for the track when ever I can get some money for it, but right now it looks like I am stuck with what I got.

tell phatmax to bring all 4 of his 15's and you can use 2 of them. I believe anything is better than those kuhmo rock tires.
