New best ET and MPH tonight... N/A LE car.. etc

Best ET: 11.276 @ 119.45
Best MPH: 11.299 @ 119.58

Passes went like this:

1st 11.306 @ 119.45 1.587 (1/8: 7.189 @ 95.50)
2nd 11.373 @ 119.26 1.601 (1/8: 7.241 @ 95.02)
3rd 11.299 @ 119.58 1.577 (1/8: 7.186 @ 95.49)
4th 11.276 @ 119.45 1.588 (1/8: 7.164 @ 95.70)
5th ?? spun, can't find slip, crappy run... still in the 119's.

I should have some video later.

DA was about 600'.. similar to my previous best.

Race weight: 3575 with driver

Got lucky, didn't get booted

Not bad for a little n/a 355, looks like the tb/springs helped a bit. Now get the videos up.

Whats in your suspension?

You just need a little more...I think the mph is good, get it to leave a little harder and get that 10.99




BTW what do you mean booted? don't tell me your running without a bar...

Suspension is bone stock, cept for LCA's.. stock 90k mile shocks/springs, stock TA, no relo brackets.. nada.

Tune and suspension are next on the list of things to do.

Nope, no bar yet. It's hit and miss whether I get booted for no bar. When I put the bar in I'll pull the back seats, seatbelts, etc to compensate some of the weight going in.

Thx dude.. suspension will be the next expense. I'll prolly just dyno the car to check the tune, it might be just fine.

And I'll put a bar in too

some light weight carpet will help offset the cage too. Do you pull the front sway bar?
I think you a torque arm, airbag, and relocation brackets away from 10's. Shocks and springs will def get you there if done with the parts above.
Nice times, wish mine ran those numbers.
