Well hell it held with the 100 shot last year and all you guys said I should try the 150 so I did.

Blame it on the track. I'll bet it was cool and you got a bunch of grip.

that's like saying "blame it on the math if 2+2=2" There's no blame here, just a car that's outgrown it's factory rear

Can't wait to see what your car will do with a proper rear man

Yea that sucks about the rear end I have a spare 10 bolt lying around that im gonna throw in if my does break which it probably will. Im spraying like a 130rw shot outta the hole my car is also pretty heavy probably around 3500-3600lbs with me in it. My best 60ft on my 10 bolt was 1.46 on the spray and I usually go like 1.5X im waiting for it to blow. I do preload as high as I can on my launches though my buddies were watching and they say the car comes out really soft like it doesnt like look like its gonna break stuff comin out but its only a matter of time before im going to have to upgrade to a 9''.
