Being a dry kit, the amount of power added really all comes back to how much extra fuel you have to burn. With a stock fuel system (other than a lift pump) the small jet cleans up the extra fuel really well. Adding more nitrous will make it faster, but I would bet I could spray another .052 on top of the first one and be luck to pick up another 2 tenths. I could be wrong about that since I've never tried it, but that's my gut feeling.

you remember Joey lb7 ? he ran 12.7 on fuel and 11.7 on the Nos.

he made a ton of passes like that until he blew the hg:D

There was 341 tech cards at the track last night... busiest Ive ever seen firebird...

So I didn't park at all, drove in straight to tech, straight to staging. After the first run I drove straight back to stage, and still was only able to make 2 passes. They were running one lane most of the night.

First pass I left the line soft ~10psi, and only cut a 1.9 because I was thinking about spraying. Started the shot in 3rd gear. Trans was real unhappy (my fault I should have taken it WOT a few times to get it learned). Something was wrong with the time thing and I didn't get a timeslip :( , but Brian was able to get some of the info from the tower by the starting line.

Spraying from 3rd on took me from 107.9mph to 111.15mph

My second pass I was unable to spool on the line at all, not even 1 or 2psi....(which I will be starting a thread about shortly lol). I was pretty upset about that and I almost hit the button a little bit to try to spool it, but thought I better not. As soon as I let off the brakes I hit the shot and it spooled up fast.

I sprayed from the end of 1st all the way. The truck has never felt that fast.

Again there was no slip at the timeshack...wtf.

I went up to the tower myself the second time and they had nothing up there at all, the run didn't get recorded. I had a bad time.

I tried brake boosting the truck again as we were leaving and it spooled up great, idk what the deal is.. :(

I know the 2nd run was faster than 111, I just wish I knew what it was.

Well at least you didn't grenade the engine:thumb: I've been kicking the idea of spray around for a while now and after seeing you and Quinton were going to try it I was about to start looking for a kit but if something bad would've happened it definitely would've scared me :eek:

Because BATMAN... You can't expect time slips to work when running the Batmobile.

And to top it off, my laptop died before I could make my second pass so I have no idea what was happening on the line.

I see. Ya I didn't feel any difference with a .35. But maybe it's cuz I was to nervous. Lol.

It was hard to feel even the .067 once the boost was up. When I hit it mid spool, man you could really tell a difference. I would not recommend that though. Very hard on the rods.
