You guys need to talk Y2K (Mark) into putting that Venom kit on his car. I think even a 50 shot would get that car in the 13's. Has anyone on the contour board had a bad experience with nitrous yet?

He's got sand down yonder and won't. And, I don't believe anyone one this board has gone boom from the juice as of yet. My engine failure wasn't N2O related. Next one might be though. Originally posted by BlownSonoma:

Great times. Even better launches!!! Excellent job man! You can see how well the quick launches improved your times. Yes only a little over half a second behind me but you had better 60' times.  I'll get back to the track and bring my Nittos next time. (not as good as BFG's but I got a "couple pass" set on E0's for $125.) Also I'll make sure to PRACTICE before I go next time.   I agree the Falkien tire give you a grip advantage. They really are sticky tires. Very good at their intended purpose! I had even been thinking about them (when I bought my tires a while back) but the fast wear scared me away at the time. I mean my KDW's didn't even make 30k. I know folks with Falkiens that think getting 20k is very good. Most don't get near that with any significant amount of autocrossing. My normal driving is nearly like autocrossing.

A compliment from Greg... I can die a happy man! hahaa.. Thanks for the congrats everyone. And I love these tires. I have an extra set in my basement for when these finally need replaced.. My KDW's lasted 22k, the crappy Khumo Ecsta Sports or whatever they were lasted 25k, so I tried the Falken's put a hole in a tire so bought a new set which Ive had for about 20k+ and still have about 40% or more left.. And Id be willing to be my car sees as much abuse as yours Greg.. Anyhow, thanks again..

I am running a 90hp shot zex dry kit with a custom tuned 4 bank chip from super chips with -6 degrees timing I am thinking of going to my 125 shot for the last visit to the drag strip for the year(would love to break into low 13's) If I blow it oh well 3.0L here I come! Found a 3.0L for $500 with 45K on it. As far as tires I am running 225/50/15's Toyo Proxes T1S, and I pulled off a few 2.1's as well.
I have been running my car hard for 2 years with nitrous and NO problems at all!
