Just got back from the track.

My first run of the night was my best run of the night.


I can't get the car to hook up. It 60's decently but it's still spinning it's *** of.


60'....1.731
1/4....11.800
MPH...116.85


Fallowed up with 2 more back to back 11.8xx @ 116.xx, then a 12.0 and 11.9 @ 116.


I know there is more in it if I can get the thing to hook, and these times are N/A with a nitrous converter.

Tires? Suspension mods?

If its a nitrous setup I don't see any problem with the numbers. Its good time for the trap speed. Now throw the 300 shot at it.

The only suspension "mods" on the car are SLP John Aims Lowering Package, UMI Sub-frame connectors, and a BMR Tubular Adjustable Torque Arm set to -2*.

IM thinkin its about time to hit up the suspension dept my friend
you got some decent mph but those 60's should be in the 1.5's
you have two ways imo to go about it you could bandaid it keep the low look and hook better
get some competiton engineering 3 way drag shocks set them LOOOSE
get some LCA's and reloc brackets
it will squat hard out of the whole doing a weight transfer like thing and hook up alot better i bested a 1.57 on a very similar setup

the other option is more expensive and the car will sit like a truck lol
but it WORKS

either way man nice mph once it hooks she will FLY

too much squat can equal wasted energy so you have to be careful

Good looking times. What kind of air pressure are you running in the M/T? Does the car squat, stay level, or have some anti-squat?

The car squats pretty good for being lowered. I can't find the software to sync my phone with my pc but if I find it I will upload a video or two.
