launching on the bottle
Last season I ran my car at the track once with the bottle in it and couldnt launch on the can. I ended up starting to spray in second gear. This season I plan on putting a new adjustable torque arm on and maybe lowering the rear a little bit (seems high). I have drag radials and the 3000 stall. My previous best sixty foot was a lame 1.9 (2.1 on the Nitrous pass). Also note that I have a stud girdle for the 7.5inch. I plan on running a 125 shot this season and trying to launch the car on it. Do you guys think this is possible, and if not....what is the limiting factor. What kind of 60ft/ 1/4 mile times can I expect on/off the bottle if I hook it up on the line.
Thanks a lot for the input guys, I appreciate it.

If it is the rearend you are concerned about, I would have to know a little more about your engine combination. I ran my '91 Camaro with a 150hp shot on the launch. Stock rearend handled it fine. I was using the now defuncted M&H Racemasters cheater slicks. I got it down to a 13.9 with stock everything except rear gears were swapped out for 3.73. I'm sure I could have gotten the e.t. down futher with some tuning and aftermarket parts. Now, my car has an all aluminum BBC with a 500hp shot. Need anymore help let me know.

13.9 is no where near the times I plan on running. Im shooting for mid 11s at around 120 so I dont know if your combo is really applicable to my situation.
