Saturday Gville TNT, nitrous jetting
Tomorrow there will be a $15 test-n-tune at Gainesville Raceway from 10AM-4PM. The weather looks good; partly cloudly, 10% chance of rain, temp around 75, humidity around 60%. Homecoming is this weekend, so traffic will be heavy in town, but the track might not be too crowded.
I plan to dial in the nitrous jetting on the ZRX to see what kind of ET/MPH I can run without a progressive box. Think it will take a 100hp hit without wheelstanding at the 330? Maybe I'll be better off getting into a 40hp shot earlier. Prolly somewhere in between. Any advice? I'm at 64" with a shootout tire.

I think that 100 before 3rd will be a crap shoot.
Will it stand up, spin, blow or go?
good luck and keep us posted.
60 in second will problably get you there qicker will less mph.
that's what I THINK!

With your wheelbase....you should be able to handle an 80 easily...I can spray in 3rd on a street tire and stock wb....but I dont have 8 extra inches and a sticky

I don't have a clue but good luck! Your progressive box burn up? I know they don't give those things away.

The 5-dial box flaked out a couple months ago, and I've been putting off the reinvestment until I got the motor running OK again. I'm on the eBay prowl, but there's a good market, no real deals. So I got a $3 thumb button til I find something.
After playing with the gearing, clutch, and jetting I ended up running a 9.27 and 9.34 @ 152, 6.09 & 6.13 @ 122, spraying late second gear. I need practice with the button. I can definitely feel the lack of progression - the torque rush is awesome Next time, bigger jets
OEM head gasket is holding fine BTW- stock block, no orings, 110 gas, 4 degrees retard. Beautiful day, but kinda hot, 80s, humid, and with a headwind.
Chris Jones was having some trouble launching hard, but ran some 9.0s @ over 170 MPH.... I think Todd Schnitz will be running it in SBS next week.

I will be at the Prostar race Thurs-Sun, running on the motor only. Not enough practice with the spray to hope to be consistent. I don't have a bellypan or diaper to pass tech anyway. You coming Karl?
The Jones Busa is a turbo of his own fabrication. It's actually a new motor and turbo from the one he ran earlier this season, and he's just getting it figured out. Plenty of power on tap though.
On another topic, I see Ryan and the Muzzy Prostocker just missed the field in Pomona... woulda been a nice way to finish off the season. Looks good for next year though
