I watched while he drove my car vice versa. The tires grabbed well. Saw nice sidewall wrinkle on those 26x10.5x15 E.T. Streets at 12 PSI.

I still have the stock Torque Arm in there. Eventually will be going to the BMR Adjustable set at maybe 2 degrees.

I think people may be right that I should not expect to much more out of a set-up like mine without laying down some more HP. I think maybe getting the car around 330 RWHP will help me get some good launches that may result in some 1.69 60 foot times.

Next thing on the list: XE 224/230 112 LSA Comp Cam, Cloyes Double Roller, Comp Cam "R" Lifters, and Accel 300 + Ignition with a little home gasket porting while the heads are off. Hoping to gain 40 RWHP out of this above mentioned future mods.

1.7 is pretty good for a stockish car.

if its not spinning, raise the tire pressure! you want to run as much as you can.. and still hook

you should see about 1.5 revolutions of the tirer when you launch the tire when you launch.

So, I actually want to run as much air in the E.T. Streets as possible while still getting as much grip as I can? I was running 12 PSI and then I took them down to 10 PSI.

Stock best 60 foot: 1.769

Now with the new suspension work: 1.777


Just doesnt seem right
