We'll find out at the Street Legals at California Speedway in November. I'm going to jet the Chevelle for a 180 shot and see if I can run a 9.

How about using one of those new nitrogen bottle systems. It connects to the Nitrous bootle and since helps maintain pressure.

There's also the Nitrousaurus-X which keeps the bottle at a constant 86º but at $395 it just doesn't seem worth it here in CA. I mean with a 150 shot I have no problem with pressure so it's only going to be used for me to try and run a 9 the next time I go to the track. I only have enough safety equipment to run 10's and they only let you run 10.00 at the Street Legals anyways. If I do run a 9 I'll get kick off the track either way but it will be cool! Plus I'll have the bragging rights that I can run 9's.

be sure when u are heating the bottle in the staging lanes you either have ur car running or you have a bad ass battery.. your battery will be dead in 10 min.. those things suck up so much power.. b4 im about to get into the staging lane i put the bottle in a car and blast the heater so it takes off the chill.. you can feel the bottle if it getting warm or not.. a gauge is ur best bet.. to know ur pressure is everything.. 900- 1100 psi is great for most cars.. but its all on what u have tuned it with..

I didn't get a 9 the last time. My best was only a 10.25 at 128. It's time for me to put some new valve springs on since I've been running this combo for two years. The engine just doesn't pull past 6000 any more.
