The test mule. VR6 track toy

It's a NOS sportsman fogger kit. Direct port, with a progressive controller. I did the 13.56 run with my NOS controller, currently borrowing a mates twisted sanity one but just not getting it to run clean.

And finally my spangly new 14'x6' beaver tail twin axle trailer :-)

 

Sorry for the multiple posts, can only post one pic per post on

 

Might bring it over to Elvington if anyone is interested? Can we use the airfield at all?

Just boggo 288s. They're enough for drag use. My mate runs low 10s and I'm sure he's still on 256's, possibly even 239's!!!

Sounds a good spec, especially if there's lots more to come too

 

It seems to me that there isn't much of a 1/4 time difference with nitrous though, 0.43 seconds, I'd have expected more

Yeah, I haven't got the jetting quite right yet. Because the bottle pressure varies dependent on the temperature and I don't have a bottle heater to maintain the pressure I get varying results.on hot days (like at inters) it was injecting too much gas and causing misfires. At GTI fest it ran great, but it was the first time id used it so was very wary about turning the controller up.

 

Hoping to shave at least 0.4 seconds off just with the better Tyres, problem is they'll lower the gearing even more, which isn't ideal on 1/4 mile.

Lol! Cheers kev

 

Well I say without gas, it was still on but that was after 13 runs so I'm sure it'd long ran out as there was only 2lb left in the bottle.

 

I'm not sure what's it's capable of as on the best run I only fired the gas in 3rd and it only really came in hard in 4th. The only runs I've used the gas from the start it's felt very quick but then blown the cage on the N/S inner cv both times. Hopefully the new wishbone bushes will put a stop to that.
