last run
tires 20 psi.burned for what i thought was a good bit of time.launched bout 4k again.car launched better than ever.dont think i heard really a peep from the tires.got a bit of a head rush i guess you can say this time dont know why,but a little under half way thru first i hear a pop from the rear and come out of it so i let off for a split second but just that quick i said fuckit if it broke its broke and got right back on it.power shifting all the way.
.442 r/t
2.084 60

79.84 mph
11.606 1000
13.839 1/4
100.43 mph
now after that run i park it and just knew i would find something broken on the suspension cus of how hard it hooked.but i found nothing.only thing i saw was that the driver tire was sticking out past the fender a little more than the pass rear.I never noticed this before.Juco looked at it and said it couldve been that way from the factory and that it happens.shows more with the tire setup i have.he could be right.Figure i noticed it now cus i was looking for something to be wrong.here is a link to some pics i have before the track and tell me what yall think.

Your 60ft got alot better. If you add some mods and keep your driving that way you will be low 13's no prob.

Tellin you now, those 20" radial are pointless with anything over 16lbs of air at the strip.. If you have an air station at your track to refill after your done running, then start coming down with the air pressure in 2lb increments. The key is to be consistent prior to making tweaks.

2.0 60's will never get it done. With that tire you will have to be creative in driving and use any gimmick you can to get the best traction possible.

Also, you will spin a dr on the track and not feel or see it like you do on a street tire. Watch what your RPM's closely.

[mrbigjeep]

i think you should be low 13's the way it sits...work on that sixty foot. and i'm sure the heat isn't helping either

hmmm nice advice.i figured 20 was low.maybe too much wheel and tire.Im stuck with them now tho lol.But screw that my friend only has delete plates,pullies,mid pipe,bassani axleback,with 4.30s and dyno tune with 309 to wheels.hes rolling on chrome foose 20 by 10s and pulled of a 13.074.its not the car its me.she has it im just not using it right.

[petyweestraw]

well this is my tech.I rev to bout 4k then when i launch i stomp the gas and dump the clutch at the same time.I posted the vis of my runs in my photo bucket did any watch?i think it left hard lol

[mrbigjeep]

1.9 isn't bad...i say slip the clutch. don't just dump it. this led me to 1.8 sixty foots.

rev it up and slip it out while giving throttle

[petyweestraw]

well i got a bit better than my last 13.7.Hit 13.5 but spun.I got to get rid of this wheel hop dude.Can get a good burn out cus it starts to hop and i let off.Stock suspension FTL lol.odd tho.My 13.7 was with a 1.985 60 but this 13.5 was a 2.326 60 ft.Someone explain.oh and by the way emay i was running at 16 psi thanx.

[petyweestraw]

Yeah the biggest problem is the damn wheel hop.Didnt happen with my street tires but the DRs dont like letting go lol. it starts to spin ok at first but then starts to hop b4 they smoke.If i cant getem hot i cant hook and driving my crazy.Time to lower it or get a uca and some lcas. was thinking bout steedas stop the hop pack seeing as they are only 299 and juco can probly get them even cheaper.I like the look of the drop but droping hurts the launch from what ive read.Less wheight transfer.

[302Army187]

you need control arm's. i wouldnt buy the cheap stuff

[chad05gt]

Agreed... this is the $$ part... you have the power... NOW have to make is useable.

Good suspension set up and you are running high to mid 12's.

'tis a necessary evil to spend as much on suspension/drivetrain as you do on hp... if not MORE.

[petyweestraw]

yup and i realized that sunday.I may not run till i get it all in shape.I figured stedda is good so why wouldnt the control arms they have work.I want to drop for looks but now im more for performance let it by high off the ground but it diggs better that way right?someone school me lol

[302Army187]

you get better weight transfer with a stock ride height then some slamed ride. so yes. i wouldent lower it much.

If it really bother's you. just buy some drag spring's and trim 1/2 or a hole coil off.

[mrbigjeep]

really really weird you ran a 13.7 with a 1.9 and then a 13.5 with a much worse 2.3

if thats correct then you EASILY have 12'vs when you get yourself a 1.8 sixty foot or better.

[petyweestraw]

im confidant that the car on a good day and all goes well it can hit high 12s.its just i need to get the rear suspension beefed up a bit and get the launch righ.
