Question #1: Does anyone know what speed Terminator convertible tops can withstand? I just raced a 1/2 mile event and made it up to 135.5 MPH in my '03 Convertible...I want to go faster, but how much can it take?

Question#2: What would be a good nitrous setup for a 1/2mile race? I'm building a house so getting that 2.9 Whipple I've been wanting is out of the question right now, but I want to add more horsepower before the next race in September. I think a 50 or 75 shot would get me in the 140's and not be too expensive. Would you spray in 5th gear?

I saw a video of a convertible Camaro that was at the same event and the top was bubbled up towards the back. I guess there's only one way to find out...go faster and see what happens!
