Congrats on getting that 10-teen! Was it all in the 60ft from leaving against the converter or what? [burnout]

My 60 ft on my 10.25 was a 1.48. That was leaving at 5000 rpms on the transbrake. My 60 ft on the 10.18 was a 1.45. No chip in the two step got me to leave between 6000 and 6100. I don't think the tires spun, so I might try another 1/2 to 1 lbs of air in the tires. Might also try a limiting strap on the front end.

very nice...what your MPH?
 
Posted by ratfast (Member # 8720) on :
 
MPH was down from where it normally runs. All my passes were right at 128, with the last one at 129. I figure it is because I went to a slightly larger rear tire. This is the 2nd time out with the calvert racing rear springs and shocks and the new wheels and tires. Now that I know it will hook I have to keep fine tuning the combo.
