Running a 50shot of N20 wouldn't really do very much if anything on the LNF......has to be tuned, and elevation doesn't matter to the LNF, GM stepped up on this car and made the ECU to adapt the power to stay the same no matter wat elevation, i can dig up the articles if u insist. Either way, "Marion" is 100% stock and ran 13.6 with his ss/tc in Ontario, which leads me to believe that 13.56 stock is also possible.
I never said it wasn't possible. I would like to see it myself that's all. If you run a 13.6 stock here in Calgary I will tip my hat to you my friend.
What is the fwhp and torque on a stock ss/tc? If the claim 260 HP I would think that that is at the flywheel. I would think that you are running stock 235 fwhp which is respectful.

Hmmm...The ss/sc also adjusted for altitude but explain to me why in Eddy people get better times versus Calgary? Eddy is at a lower elevation than Calgary just like Ontario.

I have been to the track in Calgary and as the sun goes down, people start getting better and better times. So even that makes an improvement when the temperature drops. And a lot of people on here who live on the coast at sea level get better times then say someone in Calgary.

Nice...
yes you would get better times as the night progresses due to cooler air and lower AD. Combustion is a power robber when heat soak happens. I could barely get my coby to run low 14s at race city. I then found out my H/E pump was not working so I was getting Heat soak until I installed the Cobra H/E and a new pump. Never did get to see what that car would do after that.
Cheers

Thank you and happy holiday

I figured so...and you do have a point about **** vs well kept for tracks. Well I suppose if you ar good at launching it would be possible. I would have thought it would be closer to high 13s low 14s.

just as a heads up guys/girls if you get a phone call on your cell or home phone with the area code 208 DON'T answer it! This is a fake number, the person will tell you that you won a trip to mexico or won $500 towards your visa or mastercard, as soon as you pick up and start talking you get charged international phone call fees. I found out because I got a call and googled the number and found out that over 150 people have compained about this number today alone, my brother has gotten a call as well as 5 other people that I work with, just google this number and you'll see what I mean 208-991-1194.

Well, pics to come tonite but today sometime I should be finished wiring up my blue tubes for the front drivers/passenger footwells. Holy PITA to find a place they'd fit tho, my last car had TONS of room under the dash for tubes but I was lazy and never hooked them up 
u can imagine my delight when i found them on the weekend going thru the last of my stuff from my parents house. I partially installed the passenger one and tested it last night, worked beautifully, switch and all, wired it to the battery thru the back seat instead of thru the firewall into the engine bay, lol *** tryin to find a hole in the firewall for power. Looked pretty good on the passenger side, i can't wait to get the drivers done and have it all wired up and tucked away neatly.
