My Strange adjustable struts and shocks will be here Friday [worship]

I am getting some of those too, I am curious to how they end up working for you and where they work best for your car! Those things are hopefully a good "bang for your buck"

Ran the car this weekend in Redding and missed my 11 second N/A timeslip by .07

Ran a 12.06 w/1.66 60ft time @ 112.78 mph
Switched from Mickey Thompsons to Hoosier quick time pros, the Hoosiers make E.T. Streets look like street radials !!!

The corrected altitude was over 2500 ft most of the day and that is the best I've ever run in Redding. Just wish I could get an 11.999 on the motor in Redding so I can run 11.80's in Sac [Wink]

Oh well, there is always next weekend [Big Grin]

Boy what a dissapointment!! [Razz] little ole unsuspecting mustang convertable takes some runs down the local drag strip and only musters a 12.0 then drives home [burnout]

I read this post and it reminded me that I didn't mention that I was running my front sway bar disconnected. [burnout]
