Yup. It's me. Same Setup.
Yeah.
It is obviously a fast car. It needs some serious rubber in the back though. 295mm drag radials will tuck in back there nicely.
I just want to see a video with an 11 second ISF pass!!! With that much power on tap (once it can be hooked up), that car should be WELL into the 11s.
Looks like a really clean setup on the car. Absolutely gorgeous in the engine bay.

Thanks again.
That was NOT my best run for the night but it was the only run that was filmed unfortunately.

Its easy to decipher the sound of your car in the video. It sounds like you spun a little in first and shifted early because of it. Thus leaving you very low in second allowing a possible bog due to the nitrous. I could be totally wrong but thats what i get from the video.
What was your best run?

PS - the mustang is what you are hearing spin. It was on street tires and all over the place. No early shifts on my part. There were only 4 passes that night that I got to make so I remember each one.

Get some more rubber on there and you'll lay down the times. I'm testing the first headers made by SIKKY and I'm having a hard time finding traction in 1st through 3rd with stock wheels. I know nitrious should be making more power then headers and exhaust so I'm sure you're having even more trouble then myself. I know what you are going through.

Exactly. Not to be confrontational but since when does a mustang shift like an isf. Went over the video again this morning and i could still hear what was going on decently well. It took you about a second to get through first. That would mean that you did 0-39 in that time and we all know thats not the case because you would have run faster than 12.3. Also, you can hear that your car is very low in second during this run. Deduction leads to you shifting early, the N20 bogging the car, or just going from first to third gear. I could be wrong but thats what the video tells us. If you posted the slip it might help with figuring out what really happened with the run.
So you could decipher my car from the turbo diesel truck behind the camera, the two other cars finishing the runs, the other car behind the camera spooling its turbo, and the mustang?

really people? why do you continue to bash Oztiks? he has NOS^^ find the thread. Atleast he was willing to go outside the box and take a step in the right direction for the IS-F.
