I will gladly beat him untill he gets tired of it lol. Hes going to be a mechanic so he thinks hes so smart hes been in school for a month lol. He tells me his cavalier is soo fast it scares him to put the pedal to the floor. I think hell respect the tib though thats just my thought.

The launch is dependent on what tires your running, how heavy your car is, and how much whp your putting down. If you have great tires, maybe wider than stock, you could probably rev up to 3000 rpm and drop the clutch and gas into it. Like it was said before, practice first to figure it out on your own. You want to have just enough rpm/gas without spinning your tires on the launch. Watch my videos I posted earlier under the dragrace topic, My tires "squeak" but not SCREEEAMMM. A lighter car with nice tires can launch at a higher rpm that a car that has just nice tires. A car that puts out alot of power on the overall power band can be launched at a lower rpm. get it? You jsut need to figure it out for yourself, thats all. You'll love it by the way laugh.gif

Being as close of a race as it is between the two slowmobiles we're talking about, a STS and a little skill is probably all you would need to win. The rest of the mods are just damn fun. cool.gif
Really, just get some practice in on your launches, do the weight reduction, and by the time it all goes down you'll come out on top.

Hey man i live in the Columbus area, Nitrous dose not take 8 hours or 9 days to install. However it maybe read on the
box that it will take 8 hours, this is far from true. took me about 2-3 hours and i made sure everything was how i wanted it.
that included installing a msd aswell.

^^ I think when DTN said that he had a more custom set-up. He did things his way. Just hooking it up so it works fine and stuff can be done much shorter like you say.

I doubt you could properly install it, and insure proper safety in 2-3 hours. It takes at least 2-3 hours to make sure the bottle is properly mounted to the body of the car without impeding operation of anything else. If you went through the cardboard spare tire cover, used only 6 zip ties, left wires hanging out, and just hooked up directly to the battery without using an on/off relay I could see that taking 2-3 hours.
