14.5 2nd time out as a 5-speed

well I finally went to the track but was having problems with my nitrous program so I made a n/a pass and ran a 14.5@93mph with a 2.2 60ft on street tires

this is only my 2nd time ever at the track with a 5-speed and I feel pretty good since my 1st time at the track I ran a 15.0@96mph and I best my last n/a pb by 5tenths. this time I ran a cutout the car seems to bog alittle and did not have the same pull with the cutout closed and since my mph did not go up since running with a high flow cat, I think I could have ran faster with the cutout closed but only got 3 rans in and wasted the other 2 trying to figure out why my nitrous was not working.

I think next time at the track I am going to ran n/a with the cutout closed and see if I can pull a low 14sec pass then spray a 100shot and hold on for a low 13sec or high 12sec pass

1. Do you happen to have race weight and
2. rim size and weight including tire type.
3. How much NO2 can a maxima handle?
4. What type of injectors are you running for 100 shot of NO2?

Nice time by the way. My fastest right now is 14.7 at 94 with y and exhaust plus cold air. Very nice times. Sorry for all the noob questions.

weight is in my sig, I removed my 12inch speaker, spare and jack

I am running 15inch mazda wheels on some used 225/60/15's I bought for 14bucks each. they are firehawk's. I am going to buy from DR's soon but not sure if I should get 24 or 26inch tires

from what I seen about 200hp, jime and grey99max both ran a 150shot and I heard someone in NYC ran a 175shot. but after calculating the max tq load of vq rods it looks like a 200hp shot at around 4800-5000rpms is the most it can handle

I am running stock injectors

thanks, yeah I figured there was no need to explain the sig pic cause most would figure it out for themselves. and if they could not they'll find out when it's done

injector size really does not matter with a wet shot, I did max out the injectors when spraying a 100dry shot thou and as for the fuel pump I have a walbro 255

speed shifting can lead to faster times but it could and might lead you to having you car being towed home.
