Is my combo wrong?
 
My times at the track are not what I expected when using the bottle.When I bought the NOS kit I was told I would get about 1 sec drop in ET.I'm only seeing a 6 tenths drop.If anyone can see a problem with the combo in my profile then let me know. Any help would be appreciated.Trick Flow heads are next on the list when funds allow.

Dropping 6 tenths in the 1/8 mile seems good to me. I think a full second would be for the 1/4 mile....

Might need a larger fuel pump. Is it running lean?

0.6 second drop in the 8th is pretty big...

I guess that would be 1/4 mile. I didn't think of that.No it's not running lean yet.But i'm going to change the NOS pills for 125 shot.My fuel pump should be good for 450hp+ right.Does anyone know roughly how much stage 2 trickflow heads would produce as far as horsepower and/or further drop in et.

For reference my car with a 150 shot drops from a best of 8.9 to a best of 7.9. So your .6 doesn't seem bad to me either. Now drop the 150 pills in there and see what it will really do. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

Are you sure if the reason you are lacking that supposed 4 tenths of a sec isn't due to driving skill?

How many lbs of tire pressure you running?

I'm not saying I cant improve my driving skills but I've been going to the track for 3 years now in 3 different mustangs and i think im doing ok in that department.My tire pressure is 10psi.
