The entire rear suspension is stock except for a panhard bar and yes this was on the 100 shot. It runs very rich which I know slows me down a touch but I'd rather it be on the fat side considering I'm prob at the limits of the stock shortblock.

The 10-bolt, among other things, will be a huge limiting factor but until it goes, I'm not going to buy a $2k rear just yet. The second launch hooked decently and it was good I didn't hit the spray immediately because I think it would have been too much for the rear. Luckily it held together and no bad sounds on the way home.

The car is extremely sensitive to bottle pressure and I found being at 1050psi was the sweet spot. Unfortunately, after the second run I left the bottle warmer on and when I remembered, the pressure was over 1200 YIKES! I had to purge the hell out of it to get the pressure back down. I probably wasted a whole bunch of nitrous doing that. Oh well.
