Default new Hoosiers went 1.37 60'

I'm not sure how but I went 1.37 on 28x9x15 Hoosier drags! A TP4400, 150 shot, 4.30 gear with Hooker LT's was all it took <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

11.5 @ 118 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
1-2 shift=revlimiter
2-3 shift=revlimiter
about the 1000'mark=revlimiter, too much gear <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I was only trying to pull the front tire not make a good pass, but I got ZERO air under the tire <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

What about shortening the stroke of the front shocks so they only pull up a couple of inches rather than the std 7 or 8"??

Might make it easier to get some daylight!?!? <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

You managed a 1.37 and didn't pull the tires? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I'm really surprised, too. Here's the pic I posted last week on a 1.47...........

Although this launch may look cool, it's actually better for your ET if you can control the air. So if you're cutting 1.37's with no air, don't change anything!!!!!!!!

Wow! That's what I'm looking for <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Great pic!
My car has the WRONG setup to run the bottle so I just wanted to get a good picture lifting the tires a little. Maybe next time.

Holy 60' batman! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Last year at NFRA, I know PSJ was pulling 60' worse than me and getting all kinds of air.

I was launching flat. *shrug*

Keep it how it is.

You're most likely getting some air. It's just not getting captured on film.

If my stock suspension (minus front sway bar), stock-motored GT can pull the tire, I KNOW that your car can too. Actually, on the photo where my air was caught, I only pulled a 2.04 60 ft. I was deep staging for Mod Motor.

Hire a professional photographer. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

PS - If you want to see the lil' GT catch air, go to my website. http://www.geocities.com/aryk76

I wish you were right, I have the run on video and I've watched it over and over looking for anything, but not a centimeter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Thats really wierd because a low 1.6 60' will pull the left tire on an f-body.

I've done numerous 1.5x's and the freak 1.37 and still can't pull a tire.
Maybe one day.
