Just got home from the dragstrip tonight! (famosa in bakersfield,ca) Made two passes
1st: 11.59 @ 124.15 - 1.92 60 FT
2nd: 11.41 @ 125.00 - 1.84 60 FT

I couldnt be happier with tthe MPH! I was squeezing a 150 NX wet kit. I still have the Dana 36 /w 3.73's and stock 1200 (literally) rpm stall converter. Im leaving on nitrous WOT with zero spin, no converter is killing me out of the hole, but keeping the rearend from breaking.

Good for you!!! Glad to hear all is well.

I'm going to be following in your footsteps soon and "SPRAY" my L98. I'm hoping for the 10's at say 124 or so with a "SMALL" shot.

Nice to hear you went that quickly.

JD: By small im guessing 100-150 shot??? I feel very safe with a 150 shot....stuff starts getting tricky when you start going into big shots (200+)

CarbedC4,
Where did you find the extra .5 -.6 of a second and 4 mph from your last post? I see you didn't change the converter... just curious.
Later,
Joe

Good times, esp with your (relatively0 slow 60' times. Why does your signature say 3800 stall if your converter is stock? Also, be careful about spraying at too low an RPM. Remember, the nitrous and extra fuel come out at a fixed rate, so if your RPM's are low, there's a lot of it going into the cylinders for each firing, that's where the danger is!
