Awesome! 💪

That car would be so much fun to pull up to a stop light in.

[@ericsperformanceparts1647]

4:01 Do they Short-Shift from 1st to 2nd? The revs don't get up very high until 2nd gear.

Nitrous Cars Like To Be Lugged Down

[@robertlane370]

That's the converter locking up dragging the engine rpm down to the driveshaft speed.

[@robertlane370]

@@1elijawon1 no they don't. That a good way to hurt it.

[@Skybugultra]

I'll short shift right out of the hole and just ride the converter in second gear if im struggling to hook in time trials

[@ronaldrucker8653]

Cool

[@truthseekerKJV]

200 in an 8th mile is scary stuff. These cars would probably run 250 in the quarter.

[@chickenchuggets6395]

Yeah, 5.5 seconds 260 mph, these things are insane!😅

[@Dsky-vu3nz]

What transmission is thattt??

[@robertlane370]

Turbo 400 with a lock up converter

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

There's nothing like the way the cam hits in a Nitrous car !!!

[@LoociferZ]

There's nothing like a slower car without having to have an unfair addition of a lockup on your transmission or you're like one second slower than every other power adder. :p Nitrous sucks.

[@brandonsikes9166]

Chris Harris lock up isn’t required to go fast with a nitrous car and won’t be a second slower

[@LoociferZ]

@@brandonsikes9166 It's required if they want to keep up with a blower, turbo or procharger. Nitrous has SERIOUSLY fallen behind. They're being given huge weight benefits and lockups in most races.

[@brandonsikes9166]

Chris Harris a blower car runs a 5 speed and a lock up and is only 200lbs heavier than a nitrous car and they only run 3 hundredths quicker

[@LoociferZ]

@@brandonsikes9166 um not I NHRA they dont. 3 speed no lockup. Nice try. Only 200 pound ahahaah the car is only 2300 pounds so we're talking TEN PERCENT more weight. Ya...no bonus there or anything.

[@NoBody-yv3bo]

What type of shifter in the car? Been looking to get one just don’t know exactly what I’m looking for or a highly recommended one

[@Sqx_0001]

Wow nice cut

[@lewisdeclouette6342]

Damn it boy

[@rizzoid]

Two questions: why is the pin still in the fire system handle and when did they go to automatic shoot deployment? Great video, by the way.

[@TheRacingVids]

Thanks, Chutes are deployed with the Button on the Wheel.

[@danmyers9372]

Great question on the pin still being in the fire system handle.

[@tillman40]

Why do drag racers not like to put their shield down? They get knocked out and a fire starts they will be sorry

[@LoociferZ]

They prefer breathing. Fires don't generally turn the car into an instant blazing inferno because until shit has time to melt, there's nothing but fuel to burn and you don't have ten gallons of extra fuel in your promod both weighing you down and being a fire hazard. There might be an extra gallon or two of fuel by the end of the track. Fires just really don't happen.

[@danielupchurch6024]

If u get knocked out and there is a fire, u have bigger problems than ur shield not being down

[@LoociferZ]

@@danielupchurch6024 Which just isn't happening. I know what you're saying and it's smarter for them to have their shields on but if they have fire on their faces, a piece of plastic isn't going to last longer than a flash of fire...as in something consuming the car is going to melt that like a piece of cheese. Some racers fear the spectre of fire, many do not. i guess it depends how close they've come to it in order to respect it.

[@danielupchurch6024]

@@LoociferZ no I'm with u there, also they tend to fog up very easily, or maybe u have a tented shield on and forgot to change it and the sun goes down u it makes it hard to see, which is definitely not something u want n a car like that.

[@LoociferZ]

@@danielupchurch6024 I honestly think the face plates are to stop a flash over fire and then debris from a blown up engine or trans being the largest reason. If you're unconcious and enough fire on you to need a face plate, like you said, you'd be unconcious and probably sucking fumes or 150 degree air into your lungs as you breathe automatically.

[@toddclark332]

you can feel the power why I was laying in bed I badass man

[@jasondavis5364]

I respect how fast the cars are these days. But, come on man. Nobody even shifts or pulls there own parachute anymore! I drove a nitrous pro mod car from 1996-2005. Had a lever shifted Lenco and manual parachute lever. Ran 6.60 in the 1/4 at 210 and 4.20 at 175 in the 1/8 back then. I at least felt like I was driving a racecar!

[@danmyers9372]

So they should just ignore technological advancements just to make the car slower and increase the risk of hurting the engine to be more manly?

[@danmyers9372]

BTW, the chutes are not automatically deployed. They are released via a button on the steering wheel.

[@nickniebauer7325]

what kinda of automatic shifter is that so where it moves when the car shifts?

[@ls_grayson]

It’s called an air shifter I think

[@davidstorm398]

visor not down?

[@frank-xp6pj]

they need to go back to manually shifting the Lenco.... instead of the driver holding the wheel for the 660ft race.

[@LoociferZ]

Right, because a 1000CI engine with 6 kits is safe to shift while driving some of the thin tracks. The other option is you meaning them pushing Lenko knobs? That the "shifting" you calling because "shifting" involves a foot clutch, probably some sort of gated shifter and speeds that are probably 30-50mph slower. Sorry frank but promod cars are past Lenko shift knobs. When they hit 3500HP, shit got serious and yes some things needed to get automated to keep it SAFE.

[@mattyoconnor3784]

@@LoociferZ if you cant take your hand off the wheel to push said buttons you shouldn't be driving a 3500hp car

[@agentk8263]

I understand progress and the speeds these cars have obtained, but like previously stated they haven't gone that much faster than they did 10 years ago, and those guys used to shift them, and do everything in the car, what is the point of having all that computer an air devices that do everything, if you can't shift the car, then don't drive it! I've driven all types of cars, so before you go saying you've never driven something like this, I have! If shifting the car yourself means slowing the car down at least it would make it exciting to watch again and make it more of a driver's race, not a computer race

[@frank-xp6pj]

@@agentk8263 I couldn’t agree more, Thank you 🙏

[@LoociferZ]

@@mattyoconnor3784 It's too much. We're talking 3.xx races now. The power has gone up, speeds have gone up, the ETs have plummeted and they still need to keep a hand ready for a chute because if the car gets out of the grove you're fucked. Sorry but pushing extra hand shifts on a 2000HP car doing 5 ETs is one thing but 3500-4000hp doing 3.50's is a whole nothing thing. Auto shifting that kind of car isn't a competition thing, it's a safety thing.

[@backyardbuilttrucks1]

With all the safety regulations never could figure out why there is no shield on the transmissions.

[@hooyabaaa2]

That´s a good point. The housing of transmission probally is ''bullet proof'' i guess... Somebody know something about this?

[@brandonsikes9166]

Backyard-Built-Trucks there isn’t a rule that states you have to have one and these transmission rarely come apart

[@backyardbuilttrucks1]

@@brandonsikes9166 The coming apart is true they dont very often , but i have seen when they have and was ugly.

[@ScottB]

The aftermarket transmission case meets the SFI specification, no shield is necessary......

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

N2o is moving it's way to the front...Everybody thought they couldn't do it ... But !!!

[@LoociferZ]

Huh? Nitrous gets an unfair advantage of a lockup on the transmission or it falls so far behind they can't even qualify. Know your technology. Every other power adder has destroyed Nitrous. They keep forcing them to add weight in comparison to a nitrous car too.

[@brandonsikes9166]

Chris Harris the nitrous cars are just a quick a the pro boost cars so not really sure where you came up with that and the boosted cars run 5 speeds and lock ups

[@LoociferZ]

@@brandonsikes9166 no, they're not. They are given weight bonuses or drivetrain gains everywhere or just race in nitrous only events. Buddy, all the boosts have advanced..nitrous is still the same toxic environmentally destructive bullshit from the 60s...they just added more kits and parts that dont melt down. Count the number of nitrous cars in NHRA promos orbpdra provost....lol a fraction of the others AND they are given bonuses.
