>Hey fellas,
>
> I took m y 98 RC R/T to Atco NJ for some testing for the day. All I have
>done is a Jet 2 module and my own fresh air intake. I tried out some new 26x10
>slicks also which I didnt really gain any et. but made more consistent
>launches. It was 52 degrees and 40 % humidity. Best et of 14.32@ 93 mph.
>Not that shabby I do say myself. The average for the day was 14.50s @ 92 mph.
>I also tested out again ( sorry Bruce) my little nitrous system. =( I only
>made 2 runs, and the bottle was very cold and I didnt heat it up , but I ran a
>13.27 at 100 mph. Definately would have dipped into the 12s with a warmer
>bottle. Ive noticed that by leaving the line with the tranny in 2nd, and
>letting the truck shift on its own to 2nd, but shifting yourself about 200 to
>300 rpm more in second nets better ets. At least that is how my truck
>responds. I know everyones isnt the same, but it works for me. My 60 foot
>times were all in the 2.0s with the radials and the slicks. On the gas they
>were 1.84 with the Micky Thompsons.
>
> As soon as I get my hands on that mysterious Stage 2 throttle body, and some
>headers I expect to be dipping into the high 13s.And that is with NO internal
>modifications just bolt ons! I want to see how fast I can get this thing to
>go without changing anything internal......yet. hehehe

>p.s. I also tested the Gtech Pro performance analyzer, and it was 3 tenths
