kind of a side story with what happened to forrest and all but i thought id share none the less. fairly good amount accomplished today as far as getting the car down the track. been over 2 years since its seen a slick and first time on this combo. but the best motor pass was 10.81@127 with a 1.54 60ft. the only full nitrous pass was 9.91@140 w a 1.43 60 ft. also found out i have some things to sort out on the n2o....1 is it turns off at 133-134 mph. thats where i have it set based off rpm on my window switch. 2 is im out of gear at my current rev limiter..but its pretty damn close to the end so i may bump it up a bit. it was on the limiter at 142 right before the trap so i let off....u can see it was very close as i still went 140. buuuuut if i keep the spray on the whole time it may not be as close dunno. i cant really go with more tire so my only other option is less gear. which will likely have its toll on the 60. 3rd i didnt leave on the 2 step because i was unsure of what the car was going to do when i left on the spray..and it hit right after the car rolled out so they is a good bit to be gained there as well. so i have some thinkig to do about where to go from here. overall i met my goals so i cant bitch too much.......
and the damn headwind and less then ideal temps didnt help either :D had to bitch a little haha.
ill have video of it later...got a good chunk of pics too.

Less gear, and leaving on the spray might even out. Good run man.

it hit 5 or so feet out. was only a 1.44 60. alot of room to improve there but i didnt know what it was going to do so i took it easy.

That thing is definitely the cleanest kept car I have ever seen, counting new at a dealer.
As for trueblue's, I was just glad to see it finally doing what it should in 60'. I'm almost certain if the clutch would hold there's a 1.4 there to be had, even on the 26" tires.
