Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Eric, ET is the goods, trap speed is a little off imo. what power was this at?

at my 432 rw tune, with just exhaust and a 2.8, on street tires, I ran a 7.80 @ 94. This was with a 1.95 60 foot... on Nitto DRs with a 2.0 60 foot at 470 rw tune I ran a 7.90 @ 99... dunno why only 89 mph... keep on keepin on, great launch! Those Toyos rule. What helps with hop is good stiff springs...

yea i dont really launch it hard. im not trying to break anything. i know it will do better. the car made 470. i lowered the tires to about 30 and it seemed to work pretty good. a little bit more and it probly would of been perfect! once i get the full tilt boogie kit in ill start trying harder. i needa adjust something with my shifter cause it has the MGW and it feels like its hard to go into gear

I ran a 8.30 last night at 89. 2.1 60ft. Awful. No traction, shifting into second the car would just axle tramp. I'd have to get out of it then floor it again. I'm not disappointed in the car though.

Yeah that was me. I think they were just trying to push cars thru, which I understand....it was pretty clear there were a few guys there that have never been to the track before and they were holding things up a bit...

get the full tilt and a whipple or KB and you will probably whip my a$$, but I'm always game for a run..
