TN454Monte Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Nice! Good luck with the NOS let us know how it goes! Quote
John Burns Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Awesome- welcome to the 11 second club! What all do you have done to the 468 and driveline? I have had bad luck keeping a belt on a stock set up with a long water pump- the belt likes to jump off the quicker the rpms come up (more power!). I took a ton of time aligning it recently and have been ok so far... Quote
72MC Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Niiice. Way to go. That is one(there are multiple) thing keeping me from the strip right now....the heat and humidity. - Dave Quote

71monteme Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 nice runs. welcome to the 11's club. i'm going the same direction you are with the nitrous. you'll be in the 10's before you know it. just be careful with the nitrous. check your timing and fuel pressure before each run, have fun. thanh Quote
