Thanks to Derty for putting it up on his site. He said I could post up the link, as long as it was followed up by the one where I broke the rear, so here ya go.

Looks like the car wanted to go sideways to the right when it launched. I know I had to correct it all day.. I wonder how much the car will gain once it is launching straight? Maybe a tenth or two?

Once it starts launching straighter, I'll bump up the nitrous

Here is where it busted:

I've got a very nice pic of that launch also, Scott took it & a few other nice ones. I'll post those up soon. Enjoy.

 

For some reason the direct link is not working. Try http://www.derty.org/events/thunders...dershootout03/

Then click on the one that says Harold.

 

Awesome! Looks hairy but you'll get it right soon I'm sure!

 

Very nice. Been waiting for the video post since you said you did it.

 

I never did think that rearend sounded right...
It problly didn't help having enough power and traction to pull a foot of air on the launch either...

when you get the pictures devolped i want a poster blown up, i will pay for what it cost to get one done

 

I guess ill never beat you now...damn

 

what broke in the rear axle???
did you have a posi or a spool?

 

LOL Joe. I guess you'll never catch me now.

I was waiting until after the holidays to dig into it. It is a 33 spline Eaton posi.

I think I'll try the spool in it & a few other things prescribed by the Hawk. It'lll be right by Spring.

 

WOW!!! that launch was insane!!

great vid! now post some pics

 

who recomended you use a posi and not a spool. you car "WILL" go nice and "STAIGHT" if you just put a spool in it. sounds like someone is taking you for a ride...
lol,,, it's your $$$ and *** on the line, you better get the right ****.

 

I think you read it wrong. No one recomended I use a posi & not a spool. It has a posi in it now. (apparently broken). It's getting a spool. It was my decision to put a posi in the car from the start, partly because I wanted to maintain some streetability. That's all out the window now, with the power level the car is presently at.

So, unfortunately, no one is taking me for a ride (gas is expensive, I could use a ride every now & then )

Cool.
