    She's Armed & Ready ;)

    we'll be spraying a small shot come the weekend

    cant go to big off launch for the simple fact i need some new slicks which i'll order up monday of next week.. had a few things to pay for this week so i have to waite!!

    anyway thinking of trying a 50, then a 75 then a 100 ( collecting data on each run ) dont wanna hit it to hard at once cause i am not finanically ready for a cage or roll bar, even though i am flirting with roll bar territory now .BUT the following week if all goes well she'll be seeing a 150-200 shot at HRP dont wanna get run off my home track right now

    figure the last time i was out i was hitting a 11.6-7 NA figure if i have simular weather i'd be looking at a 11.3-4 on a 50 hit?


    75 shot i am wanting to see at lease a 11.20


    so what the masses think? about the whole setup even running with 4:88 gears? i expect to cross traps with a 150 shot around 7500 rpms


    bottom line if the gears dont cut it i'll drop back down and tighten up the converter.right now i am thinking i'll loose 30% rwhp do to the 4500 converter but i dont know yet its basically trial and error.

    i wouldnt worry about the 4500 converter as much as the gearing. here is the issue that MIGHT happen. montecarloss went from 112mph to 123 mph on a 150 shot through his 4500 CD converter on 4.30 gears. you are playing with the same converter, but 4.88 gears and you're already trapping anywhere between 115 to 118 N/A. you're definately pushing the limits. not that it will hurt anything but there could be a chance of running out of gear. oh and his converter hit HARD on the 150 shot out of the hole. too bad it broke his rear end when he did it lol.

    he has plenty of rpm to play with up till a true 150 shot. Then at that point you just put a larger tire on the setup. Skeets 4500 converter on a 150 shot should ramp him up around 4800 on the launch

    dunno if they make them that small but thats what it says on the jets lmao yeah i know its just a little shot BUT its the point i dont wanna get kicked off the track right now until its fully tuned and ready for the 150 shot, i basically wanna see how the truck reacts on each step of the nitrous, not many do this thus is probably why they have issues or there engines fail.
