How fast can you go with an SMC progressive kit?

I have been tens and I know quite a few that have also been in the tens.  I don't think the pump is capable of the volume to do much more

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Steve, I'm knocking on the door of 10's. I ran a consistent 7.1 with it last fall bracket racing the car in the 1/8th. Final goal is the 6.9X class. Can I do it safely on a regular basis?

I think so...if the pump is working properly.  By accident, I hit 30 psi when the hoses on the vacuum block popped off one day...always put the zip ties back on, Steve

I am running the dual nozzle set up...not sure how much it helps

On Julio's system, the dual nozzle set up puts out a heck of a lot of alky and can be very hard to dial in because too much, too soon kills the power-on a street car anyway

I'll eventually have to go with a kit from Razor. A single nozzle will be all I need.
