Default 3.90 gears = 10.8's with bolt ons

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meE4Z...ature=youtu.be

DA was better than my last pass. I'll have to go on dragtimes and compare sometime

The big thing was the 3.90 gears and replacing my old hoosier 275 40 17 dr's with new ones

Hooked up pretty good all things considered. Going to Atco tomorrow morning to see how it does with trackprep and sunshine.

I have to see if im spinning the tire a rotation or 2, or if its the rim turning inside the tire. putting a mark on it tomorrow, since I forgot to do that tonight.

This time was achieved with my car being 20lbs heavier (didnt put the race battery in)

I need to get some sleep now lol. I have to be up early tomorrow for Atco.

I dont think the rim was turning inside the tire on the 10.84 pass. I marked the tire ran the following day at Atco Raceway. between the sunshine, warmer temps and prep, the car cut a 1.39 60' dead hooking

Congrats!! -2200' DA!

My DR's always turn inside the rims. The most was like 12", but that was with tires mounted only a day or two earlier.

I'll see what I can do for ya! lol

Thanks, I'll be sure to post my times up as I go (as long as my times are worthy lol) The car is lighter than my best pass, so it should go faster

As long as this high pressure front and cool/cold air stays in place, there's a good possibilty of the DA being around -1600' to -1900' throughout the day
