went to darlington for some testing

LXtasy · 06-05-2011, 09:41 PM

Decided to run some old 245 16" nitto 555rs @ 15 psi. Went 11.2 @ 123 mph. Low bottle pressure, (gauge fitting was leaking) and did not shoot entire track due to not wanting to shoot in overdrive. I knew bottle pressure was not high enough as I was rich. Not bad Times for horrible weather conditions, bottle pressure and tires. Had a good experience and need to see what it could do with a new gauge setup. Stock internal, untouched heads and truck intake with stock TB lol 4l60e trans

Good job.

LXtasy · 06-05-2011, 10:02 PM

Thank you sir. It has 10s in it the way it sits I am sure. Didn't want to push it too far

jmd · 06-06-2011, 05:51 AM

nice. it will get 10's for sure.

LXtasy · 06-06-2011, 08:15 AM

I was just happy it made some passes and nothing majorly wrong. Small petty stuff like the gauge fitting is fine with me. That was the fastest I have ever been down the track and am surprised she ran like that considering the mods. Did find out latest ihra and nhra rule is if you have nitrous on vehicle no matter the speed you need to have atleast a fire jacket

when he returned from the runs he made with the leaking nitrous fitting, I wasn't sure if he was smiling because of a clean pass or from sniffing the giggle juice. probably too much inhalation of the giggle juice.

Alot better. More passes on this setup in a few months than the Lt in 2+ years. Headache free now.

yeah, any power adder.. n2o and turbo/ SC, that's not factory requires a fire jacket. Doesn't matter if you're running 15s. lol

Congrats on the times. Nice and simple but still potent.
