I think if you go 3.90's she will be happy, the issue is when you hit fifth I would think. Since you hit 5th at 165ish I would think you would hit fifth way sooner and your gearing definitely helped against Sneaky. Of course that is what I have heard about our fifth gear, I have yet to go into fifth at speed. I think with rear gears and different fifth and sixth gearing, your car would be killer.

Jeez I love these cars and their 3rd & 4th pull haha.

Were u running nitrous against sneaky? **** I thought you got him on all motor. If he really is all motor and no nitrous then godamn he is fast. Also I know what u mean about 3-4th gear they pull hard.

I am pretty sure that was an all motor run. If Jayyy hit the giggle gas, no way Sneaky's 650 rwhp would of helped him. I have been waiting for the day that Sneaky ran a good C6Z, glad to know his cars are not all "invincible" like he makes them out to be. I have been watching his cars beat up cars for years, mostly because he always gets the hit because of how fast he counts. Most of the time I think he only runs cars he knows he can beat. I was surprised he put up the video on IG.

I think you should do MZ6 ratios instead of rear end gears. All the cool people are doing it.

Definitely did not spray against him. Wouldn’t have been fair. I’m not the kind of person to sneak and lie to get a win. He did ask if I sprayed him in 4th gear, after I told him I had a bottle in the car.

The bad thing about being known as a nitrous car, is that you can’t ever win a run on the motor with out someone accusing you of spraying.

He hit 5th gear and it was over.

If i sprayed him, the race would have been over from the hit.

Good point about having nitrous on the car. It would get annoying to be accused of spraying when it was all N/A.

It's not that bad. The worst part is when the blower/turbo cars don't want to run you. It's really no better for them from a roll or dig.

I was waiting on a remote tune from Pat G with Autocal. I emailed him and he sent me the 1st retune within a few minutes (he thought he had already sent it, but
I didn't get it). The tune is definitely an improvement over what I had before. I am logging some data to send back to him for any further adjustments.
Just give him a holler--email, phone call--- he was very prompt when I reached out.
I saw your race with Sneaky Snake, and it looks like that B3 cam is working

He should of went to 5th and hit the nitrous. That way everyone would know he pulled him off the bottle with no doubts.

You can control the hit, but nitrous creates it own atmosphere so to speak and results in a significantly cooler air charge than what the other side of the FI spectrum can maintain on the street.Not as big of an edge at the track.

That is right, there are progressive systems. Yes, I understand that.

LOL! That's when you run them on the bottle one time (and tell them) so they know just how bad they could've been beat if you were spraying before.

LOL! Not if you only need to run once. Besides, N20 is cheaper than race gas.

You need to get a mother bottle. I pay $70 a year for the lease and $150 every time I get a bottle, which I think is 55#
