what works for one wont work for others, i plan on going at least 70" on the 14 this go round i dont race any classes and i dont street race anymore so im gonna use every bit of arm i can to get the 60' and my track i run at isnt the greatest but im sure its not gonna blow the tire off like you are expecting it to,

I never fought traction on my previous setup, but I'm adding another 100whp! Here's the worst it ever spun. Hard to hear, but it spun into 3rd...... not really sure why, I try to do the same burnout before every run, but something went wrong. Maybe I ran over some water.... who knows....

I added 170hp!!!!! all i did was take some gear out of it and it was OKAY it wasnt that huge of a deal at all if anything its gonna spin on the big end you will be fine on the front half.
i always ran the 003 on the bike this time im gonna run the hook up or the 008 im not to sure yet, but i have a 008 on my 68" genII and i will say that motor nitrous bike leaves ALOT harder than the turbo bike ever did, and its hooking on the street with the progressive ramping in the spray

5.70 is the best ive been on my bike on hp. the bike im speaking of is a friends bike. it has a backyard ported head and a 75 shot of nos. been a best of 5.49@128 on motor and 5.34@135 on the gas. hoping to go better than that the next time out. he has added the shootout tank , tail and all race plastic now. so the bike has dropped atleast 2olbs now. its pretty much set up for grudge racing now. when it gets out of the paint shop i will get some pics. we will be at rockingham at the end of the month, if anybody is in the area stop by and say hello, feb 25-26 at the rock.

With "nos" you should be that high in the rear. Prob 44, MAYBE 45 if your not spraying a lot
