Re: First time out with the car this year ! UPDATE !
It was the first couple of passes with the nitrous. when it came on it sounded like a second engine joined the first ! I will update all next week when I put the converter in the car that will actaully transfer the power to the rear wheels instead of wasting the RPM's. No more "on the motor" passes for me. Just like a drug, I am hooked for life.

UPDATE
Took the T-Bird to New England Dragway last weekend. Same NOS tune up but turned the system on 5 hundreths into the run and addded a 10 inch Dynamic converter.
107.5 60 ft
4.64 @ 152.98 half track
7.20 @ 192.58 out the back door
More next week. Going to Atco Raceway to test the next NOS tune up. Stay tuned.

I'd say "old Betsy" can handle it! Very cool numbers!

Thanks guys. The car has been working nicely. The converter isnt super agressive which is probably helping the chassi. I am aming for the 6 second zone @ 200 before the season is over.
