200 shot Nitrous run 12.0 at 123 MPH, what\'t the deal?
Went to the track this Saturday in my old Gen I. Sprayed a 200 Shot and was only able to muster a 12.0 at 123 MPH best.
Now I know I am no drag racing pro, only second time to the track but I was certainly hoping for more. Went to the track about 2 months ago and ran a 12.5 at 116 all motor.
The questions I have are for the guys running Nitrous.
Do you run it through all the gears or hit it later in the higher gears? I was only able to hit it on after I shifted to third, otherwise I would just spin or break loose. Tried it out of the hole in first and second and almost went sideways when I went full throttle and the spray kicked in.
I know Drag Radials would help, but would like to get the hang on street tires first and certainly feel an 11 second run is capable in a Gen I on street tires.
How does the progressive nitrous systems work? Any tips on drag racing using the Nitrous would be appreciated.
I am interested in hearing how you guys with Nitrous use it as I had no clue and was just winging it.
Thanks,
Ed
