well went to sac tonight to try her out on these old tires

first run 2.2 60ft 12.9 @ 112mph
second run 2.1 60ft 12.8 @ 112mph
third run 2.0 60ft 12.7 @ 112mph
fourth run 1.9 60ft 12.5 @ 113mph
fifth run 1.9 60ft 12.4 @ 114mph


that was a decent amount of runs and i was falling asleep due to lack of zzzzz
even though i had time for at least 3 more runs i figure i got a decent idea of what i can do with her. every time i ran my launch improved and probably due to the temp. outside cooling the car was getting faster too. so i think if i would have stayed longer i could have got my 60ft to at least a 1.8 and maybe a 1.7 and my E.T. down to 12.3 or maybe even 12.2 at 114mph or maybe 115mph by the end

either some et streets non radials or hoosiers but i am afraid of breaking the 10 bolt and some gears would probably help too

Congrats on the times. As mentioned a sticky tire would help but the 10 bolt will be pleading for mercy...

thats what scares me so i will probably just wait to get a better tire until i get a better rear end and gears
also probably why my 60's were that bad 1. tires 2. too scared to launch real hard
i only launched at 2,500 cause i did not want to tow the car home
