The constant up/down was still there... got to the end of the track, pulled around, foot braked, tested the nitrous and it worked fine... hmm wierd, it worked fine the rest of the night as well, just that one pass. Oh well...

Mike first of all Congratulations on the great runs!!

I am very happy for you.

As for the NAWWWWSSSS, wait until the fuel solenoid doesn't open by some mysterious unknown reason!!!! For your sake I hope it never does, but I have seen it time and time again. All the top NOS guys change solenoids more frequently than underwear for that reason! Probably an overstatement but still true, they change them alot!

Awesome Performance!!!
Can't imagine how much better your Z will run when you get the minor problems worked out. We need video of you taking it to some of these other cars.

Great ...

Put that thought in my head... perhaps a dummy light when the air/fuel goes above xx.x is in order. I'll have to lookinto that. It may just save me a ton in the long run!!
Thanks again all...
I don't expect to run again for a few weeks as I get the little issues squared away, but when I do, I'll update this thread... unless it is monumental.

Sweet!

I would imagine 8's are just a few little worked out bugs away, since it sounds like your tune is fairly conservative at this point with afr's around 14. Oui, that would be something to ride in.

What sized slicks are you running with the new setup?

jnjdragracing · March 13th, 2009, 04:07 PM

Nice, sounds amazing.

What are you using for boost control?

Sweet Mike.

I am sure once you get it running clean, you will more than make up for the added pounds of the new rearend etc

Sounds like with all the little issues you are having those runs were far from perfect, so we expect to see your ET's tumble in the near future.
