i have koni with cut eibach. i leave them on full stiff. all mods are in my sig. im running a 100 shot. but it feels a little weak to me. dont get me wrong, there is a definite hit when the n2o kicks in but it doesn't feel like 100hp to me. i was thinking the nmu might have a clog somewhere? can i take the nmu apart and clean it? my purge valve was stuck when i got it so i cleaned that. maybe i got the jets wrong lol. i'll check that too.

i have 2 heat range colder plugs gaped at .032
when i go i run 91 with octane booster. i know a place where i can get 110 race gas. would that help?

the spring block sound like a good idea. i'll look into them.

No need to use 2 heat range colder. 3923 plugs are the ones you want.

when i asked the guy at the nitrous refill station he recommended to go with 2 heat ranges colder. it did feel kinda sluggish after changing the plugs. i'll go with the 3923s before my next run.

Kick ass time Mike!

Im going out friday. looking like 50 degree weather, ZERO humidity and at 300ft ASL. All I have to do to the car is fix the ebrake so I can actually put some heat in the tires. And maybe cut out about 40 pounds of bumper depending if I get lazy or not.

Thanks Zach!

I was actually hoping to eek out a 12.2 or even perhaps a 12.1 with a tad bit higher trap, but in all fairness, traction was a MAJOR factor for everyone that day.

It rained over night Thursday, well into Friday. Track officials tried cancelling the event, but LMS wouldn't have it. They actually told them "start drying the track, we're not cancelling".

So rain stopped around 1pm, track opened at 4pm.

Sun never came out, it was humid still, winds were head on around 11-14MPH, temps at opening were in the mid 40's, and dropped to the upper 30's by night's end.

Even Darrell and FirstSHO were having problems, each having consistently run 12.1's to 12.3's for the most part. FirstSHO did obtain a new Gen4 SHO record of 12.09 though.

I ran consistent 12.3's and 12.4's.

I would think under better conditions, I can knock another .1 or .2 off..... as can the other guys, which would break them into the high 11's.

Good times approaching that's for sure :thumb:

I look forward to your new achievements as well Zach!

November is always the month where everyone run the fastest. I ran my previous fastest without cams @ 3000 pounds of 14.2@99 last year. This year im expecting to set some high bars.
