Hi All OK....here is what went on at the Pod... After a couple of teething problems with my piping, where a Nitrous pipe released at 950 psi and I managed to lose the contents of both my 15 lb bottles rather rapidly lol... I then set it all up again and having refilled with another 30 lbs , I turned on my twin bottle heaters and once pressure was back up at 950 psi , I headed for the fire up lane... I then got to staging....I rolled it through the water for a rolling burnout under Nitrous power I shot past the tree ..lol and had to reverse back to stage in the cloud of smoke that I had created... I then staged and waited for the green.... Green hit the light and I hit the loud pedal.... That when it got really funny lol.... I have no LSD and so I had so much power that my rear left started spinning.... And kept spinning as I headed up the track......1/4 track...STILL SPINNING.. Half track.....STILL SPINNING 3/4 track......STILL SPINNING Full track....STILL SPINNING Time was a 17.46 at 94.87 mph.....lol I have NEVER felt so much power in a street car and obviously my car/Nitrous system is designed for high speed runs....not drag racing...and all I did for the whole run was keep pulling the wheel to the left to try and keep it straight I did see 7500 revs on the tacho at one stage although I did melt a plug as I went through the timing light at the top end... The plug gone meant my day was finished (why is it always the LAST one you change out of 8 thats the bad one lol) I will add 2 pictures of the melted plug... In total it was a great and relaxing day, got a lot of setting up done and will now move to NGK B9ECS (retracted nose plugs and 2 more heat ranges colder) to save melting any more, I will also alter the fuel/Nitrous ratio to a safer level, lol...    All the best Brett

I'm glad you had a good day. It's a bit late in the day to start thinking about safety.
