Default Midwest Chassis 9" and rear suspension 1.37 60ft!!!

New best in the car this weekend, won the Quick 8 shootout at Fayetteville Motorsports Park. My Extreme Duty Midwest 9" with Drag Anti Roll Bar, Lower Control Arms, Panhard bar and Long Torque Arm. Afco DA T2 Coilovers in the front, Afco DA in the rear with stock springs.
Results.... 1.37 60ft, 5.83 at 123 in the 1/8th and 9.08 at 151.8 in the quarter. This was leaving the line between 3-5 psi of boost and running 15 psi through the run. There is a lot left in it.
Hoosier 325-50-15 Drag radials at 18 psi. on Bogart wheels.

Yeah first time out, I was not expecting that! This was the first time my Wife and Mom came to the track, they said my Mom was telling me to put those front tires down! You can't steer like that!

Priceless.

Great job on the car man. That is hauling the mail... I bet it felt like you were shot out of a cannon...

My Midwest 9" didn't even blink at my H/C car... Eric is a great guy and makes a fantastic product.

I had to check your ride out last week in Fayetteville. You had a nice run with one of cars from HED.

Thanks guys, we are in Charlotte at Zmax for Pinks All Out, today was testing. We ran a 1.33 60 ft. and a 8.84!!!! The furthest thing from my mind was any kind of problem with the Midwest Rear package. It is bombproof!

That is exactly how I felt when I feel a good 60 foot hit.

From the Pinks photo, there is still going to be some tweeking since he wants the tire to leave level but otherwise its looking awesome!
