Being able to throw the word "NITRO" around makes for good TV. The fuel has it's own mystique that most watching the show don't really understand but it sounds cool, dangerous, and fast. Splashing a little NITRO in the mix will make the car faster if they tune carefully for it. It will lengthen the power stroke some so you need to advance the timing some. It is it's own oxidizer so you better add some fuel as well. Things can begin to go sideways fast as the % increases. Our car ran it's very best at 58 degrees advance. That was on 90%.

He also talked about using a lockup converter on the street...I figure that is being said for the WOW factor...

Watch a few decent horsepowered cars lock the converter up going down the track, and then tell me that he is locking his up...LOL

As for the nitro...LOL...Another "made for tv" comment, if you ask me.

You're literally a punchline.
Difference with me is, I've been out of the game so long, I don't have a lot to offer...technology has passed me... you on the other hand, youre in it and have nothing to offer!

Actually, I have his number, we have spoken. I know a little about him, where he works, what he does for a living. Builds going on.
He is a nice guy.
We just do this every now and then.
As for you, I am certain you are a miserable person down to your core.

You guys don't know me and I don't care. I'm just a little fish in a big pond. It's hard enough to run a Pontiac with parts and information always in short supply. But to always listen to you all belittle first one Pontiac racer then another is sad and demoralizing. It's no wonder there are so many Ford and Chevy guys.

Well said Goatracer1, however, virtually EVERY forum is the same, bickering, ego's and even bigger ego's, like a bunch of 14 year old girls arguing over who's make up is the best.

Arguing about someone else's car is just silly.
