What kind of rear end gears are you running as well as tire height? This will play a huge part in your ET

Good idea...except for the little known fact...that Nitrous Oxide is addictive. Everyone starts out with " a100 shot will be all I need"...then it's a 150...then it's the dreaded burnt piston or worse.
A 100-125 shot done right is safe on a BBC....just keep it at that level
