Had a great holiday

[craggar]

Just got back from my racing holiday and we had a blast. Fisrt track we went to I won King of the Hill and a $1,080., next day wasn't as good but still had fun.
We left there and did some touring around in the mountains then headed for the next track where two other buddies met up with us. All four of us left there with money and I got my new best time with the 69, 9.67@137. I had the 150 shot in it and only left the line with 20% and the rest in 1.5 seconds later short shifting. I'm sure there is a very low 9 in the car if I hit it hard right out of the hole.

Tks Charles,
Without knowing what NOS system I couldn't tell you if you're close or not on the jets. Some kits like BG use the same for both fuel and Nos, others like my NX fogger use bigger Nos jets then fuel but if you have a Nos system I would say that sounds about right.
If I were you I would start with the 100 or 125 shot after you get the miss sorted of course and I would take at least 4 degrees out for that shot. I always like to sneak up on things. On my Vega I started out with 10 degrees retard and ended up at 6 for a 125 shot.
Good luck and let us know how you make out.

right on craggar sounds like the vacation we all need well I could use one like that only problem is the camaro is getting too close to the vega's times but all and all hope you and yours had a wonderful time racing

Tks Dave, we've done this holiday for the past three years and love it. Don't know about catching you but I think I should end up around 9.2's if all goes well. Not too shabby for a street car with ET Streets through mufflers.

[DDBBCVEGA]

thats impressive for street trim a little more you could run some easy street meets think they are running in high 8's and low 9's

were looking for some high 7's this fall out of the vega keeping my fingers crossed that its closer to a 7.50 to be compepitive in texas pro stock class

Wow, 7's will be flying in that thing. I see why you're doing all the chassis work which is looking good.

BTW Big Congrats on getting married.
