Nitrous= better than sex

I've had the kit on my car all season, but today is the first time I used it (after elims). All I can say is, I wanna do it again. She ran 7.315 @ 94.14 mph in the 1/8. 1.643 Short time spinning sideways with two 40 lb bags of salt in rear well. It sure was fun, just wanted to share.

Not to diss Nitrous...but you must be single

Thread content: Yeah, what shot are you running and how is your engine setup for it?

It was with a 100hp shot of Edelbrock performer rpm (250hp max). I have some suspension tuning to do to get it to hook well.
After eliminations I went to the tower to ask if my buddy and I could go heads up on a pro tree, so we did. He out 60 footed me and runs 7.50's, so as you tell it was quite fun.
88tpi, I am married wit a dog and a cat,I just have my priorities straight, lol.
As for the motor, it is a small cammed, pump gas, AFR headed 355. It is very streetable, it is a street car after all, lol.

Your Married? I should have re-worded my statement...no wonder you think nitrous is better than sex...you can GET nitrous

So do you have forged pistons? Do you have a seperate fuel line supplying the nitrous? I haven't ever examined a carb nitrous kit...

Dude, I totally understand now. You are correct sir, nitrous is always ready and willing, lol.
It has KB signature series slugs, Scat crank, Comp solid cam (236 @ .05, .495 lift). I am using a 4 port reg. with a separate port for carb and N2O, and I still use the stock hi pressure tpi pump in the tank. I have a press gauge in the cowl so I can monitor it downtrack.

Better than sex?!? What the he.... Maybe better than having sex with a dead fish. LOL I hope to find out the joys of nitrous one of these days after my car is actually running on the motor only.

Coxy, I just noticed you're in Indpls, :rockon: I just posted in the NW IN board that I can't seem to find anyone in Indpls. It'd be cool to meet at IRP sometime next season. I know my car trapped 92mph in the 1/8 before I bought it and I'm expecting mid-11 1/4 times on motor only once it's fixed again.

I have wanted to run IRP, but I have been running for points at Brown County, so I havn't made it yet. Come down there sometime, there is a two day race Oct. 18 + 19, we'll be camping and there then, some big fast nitrous guys from Mich. will be there.

Oh, and yes they are Telstars. Kind of heavy but look sharp none the less, huh ?

yup, i love the telstars. They are not as heavy as you might think if you actually weighed them. They are a good buy for the money
