9.800 out of the trailer, but then right back in, start of 2013 season

Finally got to the track after a very long winter in CT. Only changes were the FSP supplied Pfadt drag shocks. Still at 732 rwhp. First nitrous pass it went 9.80 at 139 bouncing and spinning down the track. Went back to make a shock adjustment and then on the second pass a drivetrain part failed and killed the day. Not sure exactly what let go yet. Ted will have it in the am.

Still a positive start to this season. With some more track time to tune the shocks and more rubber on the track, they've only run a handful of days this year, the current setup should have a little more in it. Then we can slowly add some more power.


The shocks were set on the standard Pfdat reccomendations but were still way to soft. I made a slight adjustment but never ran it out the back.

I'll have some video of it shortly.

Other than that the car was spot on. Shifting right were it is supposed to be. Felt great.

And I didn't smash the trailer up. This biotch is f'in long!


Car weighed 4217 lbs.

It's a Silverado 2500HD, 4x4, Duramax, short bed. No problems towing the trailer (8800 lbs) and two cars (the camaro (4200) and the Grand National (3700). Up and down all the Berkshire mountains.


Trailer is 48'.

1.45 60'....nice! I'm waiting for someone I know to get the drag coilovers you got and give some on the street feedback...like cornering around and driving. If it would drive and handle as good as pfadt springs and stock struts on the street and then be a drag strip animal I'd be down.

Kinda seems like it but I won't know until we take it apart. On the pass where it broke it was porpoising pretty severely.
