You break it up so that the torque spike is not one huge hit.
Since that dyno, I have added LT headers, 42 pound injectors to get the dry shot size up safely, LS6 intake, Ported TB, and a Racetronics fuel system w/ Hotwire kit. Also dabbling with EFI Live and OS5 with the Nitrous "Switch" that will enable Nitrous specific tables for Timing. Hopefully all will go well on the dyno in May. Shooting for 500RWP and 11.5's in the quarter.
Sugey the front shocks, I take it you want the front to lift when you launch? I am not up on suspension stuff (yet

Thanks for the tip 123sugey. I placed my order with Summit today; can't wait to try 'em out. Hope to see you around sometime if you ever get some free time from your project in Honduras.
Thanks,
Rob

speedsk899...i use a 125 wet shot out of the whole and use the 100 dry once i get traction.
i had the wet nitous system first and added the dry later. i was having VERY BAD traction issues and figured the dry would be better for the second stage because you can adjust the hit of a dry system with the nozzle location and angles on dry kits. i wanted to keep my nitrous system very simple. robert56 has alot of info on this kind of stuff.
my system works great. i think i am still the fastest real stock a4 ls1 in the country. i still use stock 97 fuel injectors, ls1 intake and stock fuel system with 118,000 miles on them.
frc rob.... the shocks are a pain to take off. it took me 1- 1/2 hours to r&r my shocks. dont forget the shock extentions. just screw the extentions on the ends of the drag shocks and install.
beer99c5....i was having the traction issues and remembered the lakewood shocks on my other vett worked and yes the front raises and puts weight to the back. the car tapers off and plains out once i go into 3rd gear. you want the weight transfer out of the hole and then you want your front to settle back down for aerodynamics later on your pass.
