Dont know about the 1/4 but in the 1/8 mile i run 8.5 all night long, the only 1/4 track is like a 3 hour drive instead of the 30min drive to the 1/8 so no 1/4 time for me. I know theres some kind of table to guess the 1/4 but i dont know it

Some guy who had an 86.5 N/A 5 speed with intake/stock mk3 turbo exhaust ran a 14.9 if I recall correctly, and the stock mk3 turbo exhaust isn't the most free flowing compared to those other custom made/aftermarket ones.

Ill have to find my time-slips and check the 60ft ya its all in one burst thers not enough time realy to do a duel stage setup in the 1/8 mile thers supposed to be a 1/4 track opening sometime next year about 30min from my house. When they open it i my try to do a duel stage just to see what happens.

A nitrous cam is designed to work better with nitrous, its just like the N/A cams are diff. then the turbo cams. there just designed to help controll the nitrous a little better. ill look around to see if i can find the specs on it we had it milled at a local shop.

I grew up drag racing so im trying to combine what ive learned from the v8's and put it on the strait 6. so far its working out just fine. The only thing is here in texas if i get pulled over and my bottles are open i can get a big ass fine sooooo. its harder to play around on the streets with it.

The guys at your local track will probly be the best bet for info on nitrous plus they can show you what there talking about. Ive got a full msd ignition so it retards it for me. Im wanting to get a remote bottle opener for when im on the streets but ive got other things ive got to do first.

I try to keep mine around 1100, but it depends if i remember my blanket or not. Its hard cause i try not to open the hatch or the hood at the track so not to let on everything ive got, what kind of purge system you useing
