Fun day at the track today, nice to have nothing but muscle cars out there. I improved on my times a bit, ran a 12.28 @ 117.44mph. DA was 1800-2000 today compared to 1000 or so last time but not sure how that really effects me now that I'm boosted. Made four runs, and ate some good food. I had to leave earlier than I would had liked but it was a good time. I think with a drag wheel/tire setup and a good day weather wise, I could see an 11.9x run. My trap speed is definitely there, just need to get that 60ft time down.

I'm car 487/497, had the same problem as MagnumForce, guy must have had fat fingers.

AWESOME JOB, get that 60' time down and you will be in the 11's for sure.

JantzenOKC · 04-20-2015, 07:53 AM

Here are a couple videos I made, they didn't turn out as good as had hoped but they are ok. On the in-car video the sun made it so you can't even see out of the windshield but I posted it anyway. I'll have to slap it on and go play around sometime and try to make some cool videos.

I don't know how to edit them so its 3:00 long, you can skip to 1:30 or so.

You're just beating that clock down. Nice runs!

MagnumForceGB · 04-20-2015, 12:42 PM

Track is usually prepped better at that event and it helps that mudding trucks are out there destroying the track. Looking at club photos trying to see if your car is among them.

Radials will definitely help with your 60' get you some MT ET Street II. Pricey, but worth it. I'm about to have to order some for myself. I have some NT555R's now and they are bald.

The track was definitely prepped well, that glue sticking on the tires sound I always hear when turning off the end of the track was really loud, sounded like there was a ton of that stuff on the track.

I do want a drag setup and intend on getting one, I was planning on 17" race star skinnys up front with 28" MT sportsman s/r and 17x9.5 rear with a 325/45r17 M&H drag radial.

The one picture Stephanie took of your car that I see.

Cool, I'm going to have to buy one of those from her one of these days. I notice she sells some really big sizes like a poster, that would be cool for a garage. But I need my front end to raise up a little more than that on takeoff lol. My launch just flat out sucks.

Disconnect the front sway for more squat

I did put my V6 sway bar back on the front since it's so light and flimsy. I think the problem is more in my tune and the fact that I can't load it up and launch, I just have to floor it from 650rpm.

I still feel like I should be getting better 60ft times than I am even leaving at idle but the best I can do is 2.125 or so. I wonder if it's possible I'm spinning even though it doesn't feel like I am or sound like I am. Maybe I should video my rear tire next time at the track.

What sways were you running? Just not getting good traction?

sycraft · 04-21-2015, 09:55 PM

shallow stage, that way you have some momemtum when you roll through the 60.
