Default NPB with my Firehawk!

I only got to run 1/8 mile, sucks but still fun!! I think it was more fun than 1/4 really! First time on a pro tree, did pretty good I think, 21, first time and in a stick car..

lots of low .52s..I dont know whats good but a lot of older guys were like damn your not too bad!!

Back to the ETs!

My best so far has been 11.71 @ 119 with a 1.84 60ft

Last night after I put a Drag Bar on..WOW what a difference. Mid-Low 1.6s all night! I think I can get better to with Tire pressures and 2 step.

Leaving off the 2 Step at 6000 13 PSI in the tires,
.4999
1.67 60ft
4.91 330ft
7.59 1/8 ET
92.9 MPH

Next I went to 12PSI and Upped the 2 Step to 6200
1.63 60ft
4.86 330ft
7.53 1/8 ET
92.6 MPH


So...back to my last time out when I ran my best 11.71

The car went
1.84 60ft
5.04 330ft
7.68 1/8
92.7 1/8 MPH
11.71 1/4 ET
119.5 MPH

So Not Much faster than my personal best but I think it might have been high 11.6s

Ill have some videos up in a little bit!

Seems like every time Id up the 2 step the car would not crash down and hard and run better..kinda ran out of time but I was getting faster and faster as the night went on!

Sounds like it is dead hooking than bogging. Try upping your tire pressure / 2 step until you get a slight amount of wheel spin. Congrats looks like next time out you'll be in the 11.5's easy. Was this on the bias plys?

Yeah on the ET Streets! Im trying to upload my best pass..I upped the 2 Step to 6500 I thought 62 but it was 65..went a 1.63 60ft..very very little bog..

Not sure if this will work..

But the front end doest crash down like it has been..the car really seemed to like 6500 with 12.5lbs of air in both tires, rear shocks on 5! I think it may have spun a little hard to tell in the video but it was the best pass of the night so!!! Somethings got to slip.. ether tires, clutch or wheel inside the tire!!
