Went to Hobbs, NM for some test hits on the bird.
First run, knocked out a 10.17@131. New best with no bottle in the car.
Second run, accidently turned the top bulb off while transitioning from foot brake to transbrake which turned on the red. I sat there for another couple of seconds and then realized the clock had started so I finally took off. Ran a 12.60@131, lol!
3rd run, said eff it lets put the bottle in. Retarded max timing from 17 to 15 as I wasn't sure what the car would do. I hit the spray (50 shot) about 20-30 feet out so it wouldn't blow the tires off. Didn't feel any faster going down track and sure enough, [email protected].
4th run, put the 2 degrees back in it and ran again (with the nitrous)..9.85@136! I guess it liked the timing, lol.
5th run, added 1 more degree for a total of 18 and tried again. Car spun more this time but still managed a 9.98@135.
6th run, made no changes and tried again. Still spun too much but still ran 9.93@135.
I really need to utilize the 2 stage boost control feature on my EBC as the tires can't seem to handle more than about a 18psi boost launch. Sweet spot seems to be between 15-18psi.
All in all, had a great time.
