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 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
