Hey tom,curious about how your car without nos is running a 13.11 and his car with a super charger is only running a 12.93?
He must of had some major traction issues.

What can i say??? I got my shiznit right... :D

Yea I'm sure Ed was having serious traction problems, I did as well till I got the Nitto drag radials.. In all fairness I should update my sig as haven't been on a 1/4 mi strip in almost two years, but the old Bird is still running about the same. The 1/8 mi time on the 13.11 run was 8.42, and I've gone 8.43 with a equal 1.90 60 ft on the short track. When I was bracket racing a couple of weeks ago, it went 8.48 on a slower 1.95 60 ft, and I was letting the tranny do the shifting. When I manual shift it will pickup at least .06-.08, so possibly I could have beat the 8.42...
