Not to hijack my thread or anything, but, Ted, could you figure out a way to meter the juice just so's to get optimal traction for lowest ET? Now, THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

Now, THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! | Progressive nitrous controller, but I don't spray off the line anyway. I spray from 3000-6100RPM in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears. I could dribble feed it with my nitrous controller in first if I wanted, but I'm in 1st gear for such a short amount of time it wouldnt be worth it. |

A lot of guys spray it right off the line and through every shift, its like an instantly spooling turbo that doesn't end until you tell it to! |

I remember bcholka telling me when he was spraying in first, he just smoked them all the way to red line. Mind you, he had a maggie.
He also had a KARS. Despite all that, he still managed to get his diff replaced under warranty. |

Well, if I dare UN-jack my own thread (  ) -- not that I mind, you understand -- I got another vid with audio of my diff noise today. I'll probably get it posted up tomorrow mid morning sometime. Horrible sound in fourth gear at about a steady 27 MPH. Hopin' that ewill chimes in on this vid or indeed anyone else who can pinpoint this sucker. |

i am pretty sure he only sprayed in 1st the one time 
After that I think he started spraying in second. We were all betting his diff would not get replaced under warranty. But somehow, the gods smiled on him. |

Don't worry I am still watching this one.
I'll watch it but remember I can't see youtube at work 
We are websensed....
I don't mind, we have people that really beat up our bandwidth with the dumbest crap you have ever seen, they wait and wait for websense to go down and then run with it.
