I'll prolly get some in car video so you can hear it at the top end. It sounds pretty violent from inside. 8)

BTW, it looks like the motor is going to be done in time for me to get it on the track before Pinks. So, I should have that elusive 9 second slip next weekend.

I didnt both read all the 17 pages of this thread, but running a 9.70 on motor, then claiming to be able to run a 8.50 with nitrous seems a litttle far-fetched. Even with a 500horse fogger and revving it unbelievably that high.

I'm just going by what Mike (the owner of nitrous express) told me when I bought the kit. Mike has been spraying alky cars for years with excellent results and says that alky reacts to nitrous better than gasoline does. The kit is a 300 shot Gemini Alky Dominator Plate.

As far as gearing, I've done the math and it'll get there on the 3.73s if I have the power to do it. 7800 rpm gets me about 170mph on a 28 inch tire.

But . . it's all just blah blah blah until I hit the button. :boink:

The pistons were sent from JE to Scat this week. Scat is supposed to have the rotating assembly balanced and delivered to my engine builder by Friday. If all goes perfectly, I'll get the motor back on Tuesday . . . but I'm thinking it's going to be more like Wednesday.

Then . . all I have to do is throw the motor back in the car in time to leave for Tucson at 5:00 a.m. Friday.

It's all good. :bunny3:
