For quite some time nitrous has been one of the most popular power adders out there. It’s cheap in the short term, relatively easy to acquire, and gives us performance junkies a quick boost in horsepower. While the nitrous system on your everyday street-car isn’t quite as intricate and complex as a Promod nitrous car, the basics of using nitrous for more power still apply. Jim Halsey and his Promod Camaro are one of the most potent combinations in the Promod nitrous category - with many event wins to his name and even a few records being made on the way. The current record holder for the fastest Promod nitrous car was Dennis Radford at a 5.90 elapsed time, but just this last weekend at Englishtown a faster pass was made.
First rumored on
YellowBullet, at the infamous Shakedown at Englishtown Jim Halsey ran a 5.86 elapsed time at 243 mph becoming the fastest Promod nitrous car, as well as the fastest nitrous injected car in any category.
Mid-way through 2008 Halsey sported a YellowBullet.com decal on the side of his Camaro, and ever since then has been referred to as the YellowBullet Promod, or The Bullet. The 5.86 run won’t be counted as an NHRA record since it was not at an NHRA sanctioned event, as Halsey was competing in the pro-outlaw nitrous category at the Shakedown. Video of this astounding pass can be seen below:
