Yeah B it would be nice to get our avatars back and be able to change things in our sigs. Cause as nice as it was driving my sponsors car last year, it is sooo much better being back in the BEAST this year.


Man I bet. Last year I did not run the Nova at all. Now I got a lot of upgrade chassis work done it is now NHRA certified as LOW and the heaviest cert a mild steel car can have 7.50 25/4 which is up to 3600 lbs. It took alot of extensive floor brace work to get it to 25/4 but my thought process was Now that it is tore down might as well do all I can do to get the best certification I can which was 7.50 24/4

I am gonna run a compression check to see how we stand..then gonna set up 1 stage and ramp in about 3 degrees on the gear retard program between 4 and 6k this works good on the tracks I play around.
I thought about making it all muscle changing converter and putting a lot of gear in it but all motor car just will not get it done like the nitrous . The TQ curve is un-real and Flat. Plus 200 shot on A BIG CHIEF 632 is childs play for that engine..

I thought about spraying my car a couple years ago and decided not to. I talked to one guy who ran nitrous and he told me it was addictive and I would not let it be at a 150 shot. Instead I put on alky for a while the had to park it until last year. Switched over to E85 when I got the car back out only ran 4 or 5 times last year and health problems forced me to park it again. I have raced once this year and the car ran great but, now I have very low oil PSI. I have not torn it down yet maybe after vacation in a couple weeks I can look at the motor.

Lol.... yes there is something to that addiction statement. Lol... To be exact you actually get use to it and it seems like the car is slowing down but the et and mph shows the same. The fastest nitrous pass you will ever make ( feel ) is your first pass...I started out running 9s in the 1/8th as a teen then 8s,7s for a long time.. Just to get in the 6s was my goal...finally got there..then it slowed down.. 6,50s was the new goal..after getting to 6.50s. 5.90's became my obsession. It took me 3 years of running 6.05, 6.01 etc.. I finally ran a 5.99 in street trim..got it down to 5.95 @ 118mph...then jumped my A$$ in a 10.5 OUTLAW car .. Ran 1 motor pass 5.80 @ 126 mph with a 1.33 60ft...Next pass was on 1 small hit and run a 5.00 flat @ 144mph with a 1.10 ft. talking about jumping in head first.. It took me over 3 yrs to pick up 3 tenths..and 2nd pass in the Outlaw car I went almost a full second faster..and we talking from high 5s to a 5.0 where the 1/10ths and Mph is a lot harder to come by. lol :shock:

Like computer internet speed. After the new access, everything seems like dial up if you have to use it.

Speed cost money, how fast do you want to run?

As I have experienced, it's in cubic dollars. :roll:
