Her, um, flatulence is captured via high pressure hose and fed to the injectors. Run times are wayyyyyyy up, but times are down due to increased weight. OK, makes sense, but my question is this: Where does the damn Flux Capacitor come into play in all this??? 1991 GVR4 Lots of mods done.

Attach a 1320 ft hose to her and have her stand at the starting line as you go down the strip.[/b] Can't, the entire car and all parts of it have to cross the finish line, by the time her fat ass gets to the end of the 1/4 he might as well pushed the car himself! hehe 14.6 out of a 12 valve 3.0 Taurus A wise man once said, rather then watch a girl wrestle I would rather see her box.

I will leave the bottle in the Freezer for couple hours so the pressure inside the bottle is lower(the shop will fill the bottle up to 900 psi regardless how many lbs). So in reality I have around 12 lbs worth of nitrous in the bottle. The 12 lbs typically last me 5 solid passes down the 1/4 mile(spray from start to finish). I can squeeze the 6th pass if I heat the bottle up but the car tend to nose over pass the 1/8 mile mark. Hope this helps. Btw, this is on a 98 cobra with 75 shot jet setting; 150 shot on our car typically last 3-4 passes before running dry. 98 cobra 12.60@108.06 NA 12.38@113.07 75 shot
