With a digital 7 box and a notebook, Chris could get down Dorchester pretty fast on 275 radials.

I doubt it, we usually have 1.2x-1.2x on 275's with our nitrous cars, know a few other nitrous small blocks in the .1x-.1x range on 275's.

Damn....makes me not feel good about my 1.21 on 275's...I thought I was doing good. I think Smith usually has a .16 or .17 I and he is the man in the LS nitrous world. I know what he runs with that 60, you must has some crazy secrete squirrel shit going on to get .12 or .13. Are you staying nitrous?

Yes, staying nitrous. Smith did that 100-150 lbs heavier than he can be this year, so he will improve too. Some of the convertor technology is going to allow alot of people to improve greatly all the way down the track. (Already has for several)

I went 1.18 with the turbo car at 3250 lbs. My red car has been 1.14 at 2960 and I am now lighter and have made a bunch of changes. I know how fast some of these guys have been able to 60' on 28's lately and I don't see any reason why a Hoosier 275 can't do the same thing. I wouldn't be shocked to see someone 1.10-1.11 this year on a 275.

Wes, Can you explain in a little more detail about the converter technology your talking about?
