Are ET streets considered a slick?
Would you be of the same opinion on hitting it 2nd?
Thanks

I wouldn't trust the stock axles, but I did the same thing with the stock T5 with no problems, however, I had the two step setup with the PMS and the wide open throttle button on for the NOS, so i launched around 5900rpm with the motor and about 1 second later, the NOS kicked in. Anyway, You're right, everyone breaks down eventually at the track so go for it, what are we out there for anyway, to race or to be careful.......note to self, it was a fun 10 second ride with the bottle....Good luck.

I'll probably run it all motor only first if we go before I get it tuned for nitrous.
I could go with a lower shot first, but the re-tune is $250 a pop, the switch on the chip has 4 selections so I could go w/3 different levels of nitrous, but at $250 a pop so I dunno maybe I'll start at 100??

Maybe I'll get axles first
