Bummed.. 12.78@116
Car put down 436/396. Since then I have just added a LS1 lid and 3.73 gears. Running Nitto 555r's. First pass was at 35 psi cause I forgot to let out pressure. Put a total of 6 runs in.. 1252 DA.
12.78@116.41 2.14 60'
12.88@116.38 2.06 60'
12.99@116.69 2.09 60'
13.27@116.09 2.28 60'
13.30@116.08 2.24 60'
13.69@99 2.25 60'
I don't like to make excuses but the track kept going to ****. My last run I went sideways going into 4th and just put the brakes on. My heart was set on a 11.99 or a 120 mph trap and I'm far from both. I guess I'm going to start taking care of the suspension since I modded backwards. I'm still amazed at these guys with bolt ons and 400rwhp running low 12s and high 11s.

I was running 17" nitto 555r's at about 18psi.. first run was 35psi cause I forgot to let the air out. I'm just concern about the trap speed. Does it not seem a little low for the mods/hp? The only thing for weight removed is HVAC deleted/no spare or jack.

60' have to get better...i ran Nittos for a while and cut 1.6 60's on spray and ran 11.8 ...mine is a 93 with basic bolt ons...but if you can get out of the whole your done and if your spinning in 4th you need to heat them puppies up better...i roasted mine in the box...John Force style...im now running ET Streets and im hoping for 11.5's w/ 1.4-1.5 60's...

I put on a line lock and went back. Ran high 12s@117 all day. My last run I took the 555rs down to 18psi and pulled a 12.5@115 2.0 60' still spinning bad. Got a lot of wheel hop and was expecting a 13.0 slip. Check engine light came on so I didn't run anymore. Time for suspension, suspension and more suspension. 11 second slips don't come easy like I was expecting with 440rwhp. A lot of respect to the 11 second guys.
