just got back from union grove and ran a 13.13@ 107 in the heat. I couldnt hook my drag radials and 3000 stall for the life of me....ending up with a best short time of 1.95. I was itching for a 12 second slip sooo bad! I'm also thinking about a 100-125 shot of the good stuff. Does anyone know if the spray on top of my current MPH could support a high 11 second run? Thanks

Hey I wish I could get a 60 ft of 1.95 My best so far is 2.05
I can't give you an answer about adding nitrous and how much of an increase you'll see.

I am looking at doing a simillar project to your car, with my 88 Formula.. just wondering.. that hood scoop, did you need that for clearance because of the Performer RPM manifold?

You can always count on NOS to give you 1-1.5 second improvement with a typical 100-150 shot kit as long as you can get the traction.

About the Formula hood and the RPM intake, as long as you have the power bulge type hood, you shouldn't have any problems. I had on on my 84 TA with an Edelbrock Performer carb and i even had room for an air cleaner.
