Best I managed was a 13.634 at 106.6. That was a 2K RPM Launch with an ass load of wheelhop and a 2.25 60 foot. I am afraid to launch with any higher RPM on the stock axles without some LCAs and Trailing Arms to control the Wheel hop.What RPM are you guys with stock suspension launching at?

3-3500 with some quick slip. I've ran 13.00 @ 111 and a couple 12.98

Quick slip above 3k, don't dump the clutch or it will wheel hop every time. I welded in some steel to the lower control arms and boxed the trailing arms in myself and it took care of my wheel hop. But now you can tell how soft the bushings are in the rear. A bushing insert kit should fix that.

That falls into the to hard to do catagory for me. And BMR is litterally right down the road from my house. I will drop the coin on the apropriate pieces with the poly bushing and boul them on. So you guys are slipping the cluthch not doing an dump? That was probably my problem then. Thanks for the imput.

Trailing arms usually takes care of it, I did mine because it was free and it worked. Good luck next time out, it takes practice to get that clutch slip right! I still am very inconsistent but a good prepped track helps.

Went to the track again last night. Did the launch control/quickslip deal but the best I got was 13.3s at 109.7. Car needs tires, suspension and gears to get the sixty foots down. Between the car beeing a 2SS and me being 300lbs I am sure its pushing way over 4200lbs. Won't be going back to the track till I get the suspension sorted.
