New combo sets best time and is consistent !
Friday night at BMP we attended a special track event and finally tried out the new combination jetted for a 100 shot. The air could have been better, but that's the way it is in Florida. :D
First run was a 11.532 @ 121.21, 1.77 60'. Let it cool back down for an hour then ran 11.585 @ 121.32, 1.78 60'. Another cool down and backed it up with an 11.585 @ 121.53, 1.79 60'.
Anybody spray running brackets? I don't think the car has ever been that consistent just on motor. :cool: :steering:

A few good R/T times and you will be hard to beat.

Re: New combo sets best time and is consistent ! (Half Fast)
I am assuming you have an automatic.
I can only get 2.0x 60ft times with my 93 LT-1 6spd hotcam/headers/100 shot
but Ill run a 12.0x at 120 MPH...with BFG drag radials!
The difference is the launch.. How do you do it?

Re: New combo sets best time and is consistent ! (Half Fast)
We have a few guys running nitrous in the the Corvette Challenge in NJ. We have one previous event winner with with nitrous.
I think as long as you make sure you don't run out or lose pressure you can be just as consistent as without nitrous.
So go get-em bud:D
