Default Nitrous
I took the F out on Wednesday to see what it would do under nitrous. I was very happy, but also a bit sad.

It was 70 degrees, a good deal humid; second run in I ran a 11.35@122.7. They stopped me after collecting my time slip and had a chat with me. If I ran another run under 11.49 without a 5 point cage, I'd be sent packing and blacklisted...
I went N/A from then on, running 12.20's. What a waste of great conditions. My last N/A run was 57 degrees. Running a 130 shot on wet E85 SAFE CELL, I could easily bump it up to a 175. Traction was excellent. 1.7 60ft.

Mitch08ISF(bought it from him) put together a great nitrous setup. I've slightly tweaked things and addressed some other areas for the drag setup. Not sure how I'll manage to break 10.99's with the cage restriction, but we'll see.

Enjoy the video!




EDIT:
MOAR VIDEO!!

Cool vid! Congrats on the quick time!

We don't need a cage until we run under 11's here...

AWESOME!!! Just sick.

Great runs. Could you tell us about what tires you're running in the back and other performance mods to your F? Congrats on the time!

Maybe need to head to another drag strip to avoid the cage? GL w/breaking into the 10's!

Nice job DV8! You were so very close to taking the top spot on drag times of 11.30. Definitely get back out there on a different track and go for it.

Nice run! You came really close to making me posting up a new slip.

Awesome run! Is this the fastest recorded time 1/4 for IS-F's now??

"You can't run those times...your import is too fast. lmao, Nice.

Cool vid! I too would like to know what wheel/tire combo you have. Also, what other ways did you reduce the weight of the car?
