Kind of not thrilled with last track visit Last time out with 10 bolt/3.23's @3800 lbs the car went 12.1@112 MPH on a 1.59 60'. Swapped in a 9"/3.70's and removed a solid 150 lbs and it went 12.2@111 MPH on a 1.60 60'. I know the 12.1 was April and this run was in mid 80's at 90% humidity but... I know the 9" eats some power but thought the gears would equal that out easily and pick me up .1/1 MPH at the very least. Then 150 lbs lighter I thought 11's would have been there pretty easily. Is it just the weather that killed me and wonder how much?
On another note I had to basically flash off-idle to get the 60' out of it. I have lowers, PHB, torque arm set at -3. If I could dead hook with it taking off hard it would really go. What can I do to get there?

I think you might need to make some suspension adjustments. I didn't get to see you try and launch it hard. But I know the track was there since I managed some 1.5 60's letting the clutch go around 4k rpms.
My question is when the car spins off the line does it spin right away or does it hook then unload and spin.
