I posted here about a 1 1/2 months ago about getting taken to school by a Grand National. Well I ordered the Nitrous Express kit for my car. Did some tuning and testing(G-tech) worked on my launch techniques etc. Of course I went with the 150 shot. Man am I ever hooked on that sweet laughing gas. Anyway back to the story, The GN beat me by about 8-10 lengths before. I picked up one of my buddies and had already talked to the guy in the GN. I told him I had made some changes and was ready for a rematch. He told me(with a big fat grin that he was ready. Well the first race we didn't have a flagger, and he jumped me bad(he was doing the honking). But the impressive thing was he only beat me by 2 lengths(1 between us). Afterwards I told him lets go again, but we need someone to flag. Man I was nervous, heart pounding, ya know what I mean? On my burnout I hit the N20 to purge the system. Then I was ready. My car is bone stock motor with G-60 McCreary's on the back so I had to leave then at 3000 I hit the Nitrous. Man I pulled 2 lengths immediately and he never got any closer. We raced two more times with the same results. To say the least he was stunned. It was a good night, but I'm sure he will be back with more boost.
