Well guys I ran a new best Sunday w/bolt-ons. I was still spinning a little and the guys I was with said when I did the burnouts only one tire was spinning:mad: I think the posi is going.
Stock weight all options w/ 275-45-17 Nittos
Anyway here it is :
60'____1.7
1/8____8.1_@_85.3MPH
1/4____12.86_@_105.2
Also backed it up with 2 more 12.8's:D
I guess its time to work on the suspension(stock now):rolleyes:

Nice Times. I myself am looking for that first 12 second pass with bolt-ons. Im heading out to the track Wednesday night and think I may get close. See sig for surrent times.
On Saturday I took the car to the Dyno and hooked up the WideBand and found out my car was running very lean. Used the LT1 Edit and I think I may get that .21 E.T. Dropped off that I need.
Keep up the good work for the Bolt -On guys. Keep us posted on how your suspension mods go. Mine is stock for the time being myself.

Those are nice times Rbain. I went out Friday nite and went 12.37@108 but my tranny is slipping bad on the 2-3 shift :mad: so I feel your pain. I am on the stock posi so I know that's coming to. But what can I say it's Dragracing.

Good times Bain. Looks like I have to play catch up. :D
I dont think my car will run that fast. Maybe we can all go to the track this Saturday. I need to get my car fixed before I can take it.

Thanks guys.
I'm trying to catch up with Steve(SAR2K) man his car is flying!:bow: I am getting alot of wheel hop and running rich.:mad: About time for a dyno tune at Thunder Racing :D I want it to run what it does at the track on the street(so no weight reduction or comfort compromises);)

Congrats on the 12's bud!!! As for that wheel hop... BMR LCA relocation brackets are the cure. I had the hop BAD at E-Town after bumping the converter up. I put on a set of the bolt-on brackets and since then it's just a matter of track prep as to if I spin... no hop. My best 60' to date with them is 1.56 on BFG's
But when you do the install... don't do it underwater like your Opti install!!! ;) Next time your at Thunder let me know.

Congrats! That's great to hear! :)
Hopefully I can boost my ET's on all my cars this year, 2002 was definitely not my year. :(
BTW: Do the LCA Relocation brackets really help that much?!?
I have insane wheel hope w/BFG Drags on the T56 car.
Thanx!

The BMR LCA relocation brackets will eliminate the wheel hop. Well worth the $$$.

Do they only work with adjustable Lower Control Arms, or can I slap on a set of Hotchkis LCA's, for instance and be done with it?
Thanks! :)
