The times I have posted with my R/T were all done with no Nitrous and with
radials. The 14.60 was done in 58 degrees with 50 percent humidity. I have
run 14.65 in 78 degrees but 39 percent humidity. This vehicle likes low
humidity and a cool motor. In about 75 degrees with 50 percent humity I
average, 14.80 to 85. The first time I raced it bone stock I ran a 15.09 with
the airbox out. 15.25 is my worst time ever, with real bad wheelspin, and on a
hot humid day.
The only modifications I have done is a JET stage 2 module and my own fresh
air intake. I remove the tailgate and spare tire( worth 135 lbs) My best
60 foot time and it is my average is 2.00 seconds flat. I get the best launch
by spinning the hell out of the tires in second gear for about 4 seconds, and
then proceeding with 2 dry hops, or until it hooks hard. Then I stage and mash
it hard on the last yellow. That gives me a 2.0 always. if it spins bad, on a
bad run, I get a 2.2 But with a good burnout on the stock RSAs, I have no
problems. On the juice however It will run low 13s on radials.
As I said earlier, I just purchased slicks and will be trying spraying out of
the hole next fri. It should ,if my calculations are correct , should go high
12s. The nitrous kit I have is a very simple one, It is from compucar, it is
caleed the street heat system. It is very very stealthy and takes only about a
half hour to put in. No solenoids or extra lines to run. Just a simple bottle
mounted in a duffle bag, the solenoid is on the bottle, you run the line into
the tube after the airfilter . That is it. You plug in the solenoid to your 12
volt source and the button is in there too. The o2 sensor senses a lean
condition from the extra oxygen in the nitrous, and in turn automatically
enrichens the fuel. I have made about 12 passes with it with no ill effects.
I have noticed some surging though in the top of second gear and third but not
often.Only on 3 runs did it surge, and only once did I deem it neccesary to
get out of it. Feel free to mail me direct if you have any speed secrets or
want any tips from me.
