ok last week i at the track i was running a 55shot of dry N20 pulling 14.76@92mph. Tonight at the track with the N20 I ran a 14.83@91mph. Ok heres the kicker and what makes me confused My last run tonight at the track was a 15.037@89mph without the N20???? What gives 3 tenths for a 55 shot does this sound right??? Dont get me wrong i am happy as **** at running a 15.0 N/A but damn i thought N20 would be better than this. My guess on this is 60foot time it blows with the N20 i mean its been high 2.2's and one 2.39. when running N/a 2.191 was my 60. I know i definitley want to up the shot but does that sound right to you guys. Please help this confused Dude :confused: :confused: :D

Edit: forgot to mention Mods are N20(55shot), B&M shift kit, CAI with 7 inch K&n Cone,Flowmaster 80 series exhaust with resonator removed, and the Maf screen removed.

Do you have a bottle heater or blanket? I know the line pressure makes a big difference. If the tank is cold meaning theres no pressure.. your not going to get anything out of the N2O.

of your crappy 60' times. If you were to get better traction or hit your nitrous after your launch your times would greatly improve. You can gain about alot more than 3 tenths from that shot, more like 6-8 tenths with traction.

Or maybe you went to a shady place that filled your bottle. I know kalvin had a lot of air.

I'm with Spaz on this one... The Grand Am is a great "Stock" launching car.. It highly lags in the upper end.. I'd wait to squeeze until you feel the tires stop spinning.. :thumbs:

PS: Props on the flat 15.... :D niiiiice!
