1.80 60' 
still has alot more in it, it's spinning pretty bad.
got only one pass tonight, was testing the launch control.
I will continue to update as i dial it in.
I still need to raise the car up and put on the taller slicks.
I am having some timing issues up top that im working on, but ill post an ET and video as soon as i make a full pass.

Here's a quick vid of the car at the track this was the 1.8 60'. I was not able to make a full pass due to some issues up top. The car is currently down undergoing some changes
I'll be back out on the fall once the temps drop.

Currently the car still sits the same however i'll be going over the suspension pretty soon. I have a set of stock(uncut) springs already waiting to go on. I'll also be going to a taller tire plus some other engine changes.

Went with air bags on mine, cut the springs down a little to be able to get a full range of height adjustment . Did this after 1st trip to drag strip & realized I really needed some control that I could experiment with changes at the track .
Using a cordless remote system that lets you adjust air pressure individually from anywhere & shows pressure on remote .
Just keep it on the sun visor
Also comes in handy when you get some heavyweights in the back seat & need to compensate for the load

Nah....... You know it was one those times your just screwing around & a friend wanted to take it down the track & I said Ok, wasn't even thinking about the fact this guy has been racing with a manual trans for years.... "and it showed"
I wasn't even watching it till the end.
It was his run & his time slip
This was last year & I haven't even mentioned it since it's kinda a situation where if I didnt do it & with no slip it didn't happen .
Just blurted it out when radeon asked ........( shoulda kept my mouth shut)
Runnig M/T. Et.s 305/35/18. With about 16 psi & the air bags definately helped
