Default first nos runs

It finally stopped raining long enough last night to try the system out. I was pretty nurvous and started out with just a 50 shoot. Everything went OK. Did a few shoots from 45mph in 2nd. It had mild accel increase. Didn't know how the 273 rear end would do. Changed to 100 shoot and what a tremendous differance!!! The first few at 100 shoot were the same rolling start from 45mph in 2nd and 100mph came up VERY quick. Everthing still looking good I decided to try a rolling start in first - HOLY SH_T WHAT A RUSH!!! The tires (Firestone) squawled like they have never done before and again in 2nd and 100mph again came up very quickly like before. Next run was from a standing start. This was very exciting, the tires squawled for what seemed like forever but didn't smoke them!!! Must be right on the edge of their traction limit. Big squawl in 2nd again like before!!! I had a smile from ear to ear and didn't want to stop but I forced myself after 10 runs. I want to pull a couple of plugs and see what going on inside. Also, will connect AutoTap and see what WOT looks like, then on to the 150 shoot. This has totally transformed the car. WHAT A FEELING!!! I have 342 rear and a SY3500 TC coming. Probly won't be able to spray in first at all after installing them. THUS FAR I AM EXTREMLY PLEASE WITH THIS SETUP!!! I can see this is very adictive. I've been wanting to go out all morning and run some more but its raining, again. Still have to run the purge line but I can see this will be more for show than anything. The first run had a very short lag. Will also, be adding a pod with gauges but right now its too much fun!!! :smash: :smash: :smash: :D :D :D
