Made 4 runs at Maryland International Raceway...
Prior to running we used a set of corner scales and got the rear tires within 7lbs of each other :nod:

first run
1.557
4.495
6.923
101.45 :eek:
9.032
10.813 (new best)
126.96

2nd run (made a swaybar adjustment...car pulled hard right on previous run)
1.625
4.546
6.973
102.81 :eek::eek:
9.079
10.852
127.27

3rd run (loosened front shocks 1 click and tried + 2* timing)
1.563
4.478
6.910
100.80 DOH!
9.016
10.789 new best
127.26

4th run. took timing back out and added fuel at launch
10.800 (don't have slip in front of me...left it in the car)


No matter what I try...the 28x9 ET drags don't work on my car. Too small of a footprint :ripped: I didn't want to try the bigger 28x10.5s with my 4.30 gear and didn't have the $$$ for 4.56s at the time :emb:

I'm going to put my 26x10x15 drags back on and see what'll happen (they were more consistant in the 60' dept). Next year I'll switch to a 4.56/28x10.5x15 tire combo :D

car seems to like 29.5* timing.

Tire pressure was down to about 12psi hot.

I've tried a little higher...but it really blows the tires off to a 2.0 60' :eek:
