Yes, with nitrous. On that car I used 6X heads. Have it all on video. I had a nitrous pumping station right at the track.

It's fun to use at the track. It's for people who love unlimited HP. Push the button and it feels like you added another engine.

It's relevant to some of the conversations we have had about setting your timing by ear. Nitrous will tell you if you didn't set your timing spot on because you don't get away with any detonation. It's game over. I always set my timing by ear on my car I drove to the track and raced. Didn't have any damage to the 428 I built. No detonation. Proof that my ear works. It's not just your ear though. You have to drive it and have a feel for what your moves are giving you. You zero in on what works by listening to how the car starts. How it shuts down. How it accelerates. Throttle response. A timing light is actually easier but less accurate as to getting it just right. A timing light can give you a reference as to what you found was perfect. Without your ear and your experience a timing light is just a shot in the dark. It's a starting point for someone who hasn't got the ear thing down yet.
