Default what do u guys think?

my car will hit with a 125 shot. the nitrous kit i have is a f2 tnt. it has the power ring and its a dual nozzle. my car is an 01 z06 with full exhaust, pulley and a vararam cai.i havent ran my car with the pulley though. i hit constant 11.92 @116.8 with a 1.70 60". i feel my car bogging in the launch. i think the et streets are to much for my car so im planning on spraying off the line.

you may regret spraying out of the whole, if your car dead hooks.....ask the two guys (blu and kurt) who ran a week ago...both now have big dollar repairs...

I think a big part of the breakage was due to the twin clutch though...

Take the slack out of the drive train before you launch, 18 psi and slip the clutch (and don't try for a 1.4 sixty foot ) you should be fine ! Now your clutch may be another story.

I disagree on my behalf anyway. My old tex single was just as grabby if not more than this spec is. Kurt has a lot stronger twin than mine however. I believe mine was hurt pretty severe before my first run with the new clutch. I didn't move upon my first launch on the new clutch and it was slipped pretty hard. Actually I can slip this clutch more so than my old tex but then again my old tex wasn't the standard X or Z grip.

At least Kurt got a few runs first

BTW his car was dead hooking which is bad! I always go ***** out myself and back off if I need too.

Back on topic, to the OP you should gain 10-12 mph with the 125 shot, the ET is all in what the clutch will withstand and the track will hold. 10's are within reach if you can get it off the line hard.
