just seeing that car leave and stay on the wheelie bar for 100' is amazing! you can hear it slam the wheelie bar and it just digs in and goes!!

don't know. The rear gear swap made my car go .5 second and 6mph slower than my previous without the gears

what gears you got in it poisonedp?

Posted by F8LPONY (Member # 11) on :
 
Gears should not do that unless it is causing you to shift into another gear before then end of the 1/4. You sure there is nothing else wrong with car?

andyman: gears are 4.30's

F8L: I'm having to shift to 4th now because of the gears. I scanned for codes, got nothing. I think my car hates me

Ick, yeah that could kill MPH for sure. But kinda weird to run out of RPM with 4:10s and no juice. Is there any way to raise your rev limiter? Or can you run a slightly taller tire? Ohh, NM I dont think you care anymore

i had a great time out there tons of cars only got 2 runs in. first run was a 13.8 99.9,then my second pass i was shocked, i smoked a lt1 vette then i got to the time booth and it said 13.66 102 on a 2.082 60ft on street tires only mod change was took off the x-pipe and installed a h-pipe it gave me 2mph just doing the swap.

Solo - the Yellow one. That thing would get half way down the track and then break loose 3 different directions and always straighten out eventually.

First time out with our new car didn't go to bad had some 1.20 60ft. Just trying to get the chassi adjusted for when we really turn on the heat, 60fts should only get better now.

So what does a 1.2 60 ft feel like? Getting shot out of a canon?
 

---

Posted by Bounty Hunter (Member # 1422) on :
 
The 1.20 60ft felt sorta lazy actually, hoping to get a little better once we get the car to go straight, maybe then I can make a full pass. Guess we'll see in Vegas next week!
