Default First time at track with nitrous

Had my first time at the track since my nitrous install today. Conditions were terrible 40 mph winds and very high humidity. Best times were as follows
Reaction tine .039 60 ft 2.189 Et 13.178 MPH 110.856
I didn't think that was to bad for first time and a 2.59 gears

What did you run before the Nitrous install and how much of a shot were you running?

I see with a 2.1 60 ft your tires were spinning or you did not use the nos until
you were down the track a way's, you should pick up a little more than one second with the 100 shot if tuned right.gears are ok nos doesnt know the difference ,but the mph is where it should be ,and by the way nos loves high heat and humity you just have to work with the fuel pressure a bit.
I use 75 shot and turn 112.43 mph and 12.29 with the 125shot 11.72 at 115.89
STOCK RUN WITHOUT NOS 13.49 103.55

i ran the same MPH as you 110, my ET was 11.91...the difference is my 60' was 1.61 on that run. Sticky tires and turning the spray on sooner will help my friend.
