Default Almost 10'S

I took the camaro out to runday sunday for a few nitrous runs.
I was very pleased with the results. Here is the timeslip from the
best run.

60' 1.611
330' 4.605
660' 7.104
mph 97.50
1000' 9.300
1320' 11.156
mph 120.28

Not bad for pump gas and drag radials

I also had a new best in the C5 13.23 @ 105.58

Thanks Mark, The instructions for the nitrous kit ( foggersystem)
are a little confusing, It's either 100 or 125 shot. Im running
3.89 gears. It took almost a full second off 1/4 mile et.
I sprayed out of the hole, took about a 10th and a half off the
60'

If that was your first time using it, you must've REALLY felt the difference. Some mods are barely noticable, but that one sounds like it had all the subtlety of a sledge hammer

Awesome Craig!! That is one heck of a 60', and I bet 10's are right around the corner.

When I tried to run the RevXtreme C5 on a 100 shot it had these #'s:

60' 2.134
330 5.509
660 8.011
1000 9.980
1320 11.718
MPH 129.64

Look at the MPH! I spun all through 1st & 2nd.
