    Went a 7.87@86 on the motor and a 7.08@96 on small 125 pills (pig rich tune 10.0 afr)

    Not bad for a junkyard motor with a little cam time for some new slicks though best 60' was a 1.62

    nice. those ls motors are amazing. i switched my n2o system to run on e85. it has a dedicated fuel system. i researched all over to figure out the jeting and found out that NOS jets are rich and confirmed it with the wide band. so i just switched to e85 with no jeting change and it loved it. you may want to give it a try.

    I've thought about changeing it over to e85 but its a 45 minute one way trip to get any=(


    It should go some 6.80's on some fresh tires then I will pull some fuel out of the nitrous side.

    My goal is 6.30's and be daily drivable so we will see what happens

    I think 6.80's shouldn't be a problem with good tires and a little more nitrous. I don't see 6.30's on nos but idk.

    A .681 lambda is pretty rich, was is popping on the top end. I would lean it out a bit. As for E85 "it's the Bomb" very forgiving with great results when implemented right.

    So I went to pull the plate off yesterday and the line from the selonoid to plate was not even finger tight on both the selonoid or plate side on the nitrous side =0
