whats up everyone just a couple of Q's.....I'm going to the track next weekend with an LS1 buddy, and I want to be prepared.

I've raced at the 1/8th when I only had a CAI and I was running 9.30's.
Since then I've done all the mods listed in my sig, but I've never had a good set of drag slicks (aquiring tomorrow).

I just installed the nitrous kit with 125 jets and I'm a newbie at this stuff. Please feel free to give me some tips/pointers!!

I have NO idea how to properly set up the tune with the diablo and I would rather not blow my motor. What kind of timing and fuel trim settings are you guys running?? and no, I won't be buying a RWTD tune this week.
thanks for all the help.

i hope you have some extra money laying around for when the tranny goes. all the guys with 4r70w's that i know that spray them, the tranny doesn't last to long. that is why i haven't sprayed mine. i just cant afford the fix right now.

hmmmm.......I've always heard the 4r70's were tough except for the o/d band. I have ran with moderately increased line pressure for over a year, along with a giant trans cooler/no probs so far.

Ive sprayed the heck out of mine with not a hiccup from the tranny. Shes holding up beautifully. With an auto the driveline is set. It doesnt bang hard like a static driveline with a manual when you shift.

I am running one step colder plugs and stock timing. Drive around the puddle. I open my door and backup till Im lined up with the front edge of the puddle then I pull forward just a bit and hold the brake while I do a burnout. Youre not John Force. Dont overdo it. After that line up with your foot on the brake and the other on the gas till your rpms are ~2200. When the tree goes green stomp it. I spray out of the hole. Ive got my best times using this method.
