'11 GT | O/R H + GT500 AB + 100 shot = 7.26 @ 95mph

[Kiohtee]

Other mods consist of SR springs, SR shifter and 15" LMR Drag wheel/tire kit. Spraying from 3-6K. Shifting as close to 7K as I can.

60 FT: 1.49

Nice! That's a solid 60'. Been looking at that same wheel/tire combo as well

 

[Kiohtee]

Thanks! You definitely should get it man, they're solid wheels/tires!

Next time out try shifting as soon as you feel the nitrous shut off. You're running an extra 1000 RPMs without that extra nitrous power. Plus, your peak power is probably lower on nitrous anyway.

I picked up like 2 mph in the 1/4 by shifting on the bottle at 6000 instead of 6700 (and that was spraying all the way to 6700 even).

I wouldn't be surprised if you went 100 in the 1/8 by shifting lower. Hell my tired old car goes 94 in the 1/8 with probably 100 less hp.

This sounds like a good idea. At least in theory. Only one way to find out though...

 

[Wynn]

It worked for me anyway and I was happy. Faster car and less wear and tear on the engine. Win/ win.

Good luck next time out!

Guess this means I have to give up WOT shifting though? That's gonna suck.

Nice 60' Get'n it done!!!

I still shift with the foot to the floor. I just do it at a lower rpm. I assume you use an rpm window switch... as long as your nitrous shuts off before the rev limiter kicks on you'd be fine even if you were to miss a shift.

You dont want to spray into the rev limiter but if you have an rpm window switch its a non issue. Keep your right foor planted and grab the next gear- and keep us updated with the results!

Gotcha. And yeah, it's controlled by TPS and a window switch. I'm on a 150 shot now, and damn does this thing pull like a train!

I would think with that 60 a 100 shot could run 10's no? That's a great job on the launch to go 1.49 with the manual.

 

[Turd Fergusen]

what are you launching at? If you're goint to shift close to 7k then spray to 7k.

 

[Kiohtee]

Launching at 4500. Definitely agree that I need to extend my spray window since I'm still turning an additional 1k. May set it to 6700 or 6800. Wanna leave a 200-300rpm window just in case.

 

[RushGotti]

Damn, Goals right there! I was only able to put down 8 seconds in the 1/8 with the mods in my sig... But I had 91 race tune.

I want 100-150 shot as well, that's a nice time!
