tawss04 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Finally got to the truck at the track last night with the bottle. R/T - .258 60' - 2.018 330 - 5.652 1/8 - 8.703 MPH - 80.30 1000 - 11.379 1/4 - 13.669 MPH - 98.12 It was about 80* and my bottle was not completly full but was still a pretty nice run. I think I'm gonna bump it up to a 150 shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniac Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 No bottle heater? Any idea what kind of pressure the bottle was at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06VHO Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 RED LIGHT! LOL bet you just could'nt wait... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A lot of tracks are switching to the new NHRA standard for both Sportsman and Pro Tree reaction times, where .000 r/t is a perfect light. So either tawss04 was too slow or to quick. Ok tawss04, spill the beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tawss04 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 RED LIGHT! LOL bet you just could'nt wait... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was not a red light, I did that on the next run No bottle heater? Any idea what kind of pressure the bottle was at? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No bottle heater yet, thats my next thing for it, the bottle was at 1000psi on the first run and about 850 on the second. It still performed great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Running without a bottle heater can increase the chance of blowing the intake apart from puddling. You're going to want to get one of those ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I recommend a bottle heater for the simple fact you get more consistent performance without it your changing bottle alot more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion :: SS Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 ALl this talk about bottle heaters...you guys forget where we're located - North FL. " ... and North Florida aint nothin' but South Georgia...!!! " And down here, we don't use bottle heaters. We pop the trunk, break out the blow torch, and run it over the bottle a few times before the run...!!!!!!!! Go street racing in Ocala some day, scary stuff...hehe.

Once youve had a bottle explode by you you'll understand how dangerous and stupid that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion :: SS Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hehe...want to clarify...I've NEVER done that. I said "we" as in "us idiots in South Georgia"...i.e. all the backwoods guys at the street races. I should have added a [/sarcasm] tag at the end of the post, sorry. - Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
