difference in ET between juice and w/o

Does anyone with like a 50 or 70 shot know what the difference in quarter mile ET is with the spray and without? My friend told me my car will be noticeably slower than it is now when I am not spraying.

How risky is this stuff? sounds like 100 is a big deal but 50 wouldnt be so bad?

It will not be slower than it is now when you are not spraying.

Mine went from 15.7 to 13.6 with a 75 shot. 5 mins between runs, no other changes.

My best 1/4 mile to date is a 14.63 in my '98 5spd. Any idea what a 50 or 75 shot might take off of that?

Also I have 92k miles on my car. How bad is this for your MAX?

Depends on what kit you are using and once you get under the 14 mark you need slicks if you want to get good times, otherwise you just spin or feather the throttle until you get traction which reduces your 1/4 mile time dramatically.

Sure its harder on your car, is it bad? Is too much sex bad for you? Sure if you get carried away. Stick with a 75, installed properly and you will get years of fun out of it.

Traction provided....you will likely see about 1 sec faster with a 75 shot. That is a difference from night to day.

With major traction problems I went from running 14.8-15.0's to 14.3-14.4's, when I got the traction under control I ran 14.1, this is with the NOS 60 shot, my traps also increased to about 99mph vs. 92-93 when I was NA. Hope this helps.

I went from 14.3 to 13.6. Traction isn't a big problem NA, but on the squeeze there's no grip.

i guess you need to play with nitrous a lot inorder to get these times? or do you guys use drag radials?

i dont have a window switch, last time i was at the track i armed my system, rolled into 1st, floored 2nd.. my rpms just stayed at 6k, i couldnt grip 2nd at all... i always end up burning out in 2nd

anyhow, my ET went from a best of 94mph N/A to 97mph spining out with a 70shot

You mean your traps went from 94 to 97mph...

Yes, you have to tune your system to get the better times. The best I could manage with a 70 shot was 13.8-13.6 range. It was still not totally tuned, but did run pretty good.

Slicks help traction, but also hurt top end numbers sometimes. My best times were had with street tires. I had decent 60' with the slicks but lost top end mph. Track conditions also make a big diff in traction.
