My bike is a basic bolt on zx14, brocks smeg, air shifter, 5 over, and a 60 shot wet nitrous system, progressive. I thought my 1st pass was a fluke, but backet it up even stronger next pass. I was about to give up, then i got interested again. I will try to help any1 thats trying.

How much mph are you pulling? I think I saw you mention that you have quite a few passes on the 60 shot/stock motor?

What size fuel and nitrous jets are you running? What controller and nitrous setup?
Also, what did you 60 ft. on your 8 second passes?
Just trying to get an idea of what it takes to move us bigger guys.

Feels good to finally reach a goal, When i 1st saw the slip i was thinking was that the other guys time. Then i saw it was mine. Then i thought it was just a fluke pass. So i ran another pass within a thousandth of the 1st 1.Great for sure.

You know what, now that you mention that, I did look at the ticket strange once I calmed down. I made sure I was looking at things correct. Then I looked at some others and they were running their normal times so back to being excited. You ran it twice. Well now you know you can go even faster so let's see you get ur done!

I don't think it will be a problem with good weather and proper track conditions. I'm 175-180 unsuited and i ran a best of 9.10 in really crappy, hot muggy weather.

I guess well see what happens, i'm also on a diet and hopfully by the time the weather comes around i'll be around your weight, i went on a diet after the superbowl, i was 225, i'm down to 185 as of today.
