Went to the track last night.

My best for the day was a 11.39 @127.55 my best 60" 1.78. Almost a new best, I just couldn't make them drag radials grab today. I did have a new best trap of 129.01 however. Also the damn clutch fork came off three times today. So I didn't collect 3 of my slips and of course it would kill the run.. The one run felt great then I got locked out and couldn't shift. I would pull into the pits jack it up and fix it. Then run a run or 2 then off again lol.

I just installed the upr k-member kit and think it might have hurt my weight transfer. The temps where in the 50's

Here's a vid of the 11.39 observe my grandma like reflexes when shifting lol.

i dont think the k hurt the transfer, i think it may have stiffened up the chassis enough that the stock suspension cant cut it any more. thats just what i am thinking, i might be wrong.

I hope that maybe is just because it was cold. I don't see a upr k member stiffening the chassis more than the stocker

I agree... i think it's time for a Steeda drag pak... there was a lot of bounce on that thing.

:homo i am wondering the same thing. a drag tire will get better traction and take a lot of shock especially when you launch.

Because I don't want to run a skinny in the front right now. I also don't want to mix basis and radial tires.

Its not that I care if I hurt them. I care if I hurt myself. The car will get sloppy feeling on the big end when you mix basis and radial tires.
