I dont run CCC and why are your 28in tires killing you? I have had 26in and 27in tires before. I am sick of playing the traction game so I went to a 28in et drag and have a full suspension going in as well.

HAHAHA wtf so they dont work for your gear tire combo so you tell me to go smaller hahaha. Naw I decided to go to a 28in after some time on the gear calculator. It is a 6-sp car on a big shot with 4.10's 28in tire is what it needs.

HAHA yea I have been fighting traction for years so I finally said F this and got a full suspension and 28in drags. If it doesn't hook watch for a FS thread. lol

Hmm I would have to dig up the slip but IIRC my last time out before deployment I went 10.76(1.67 60ft) on a 150 shot. I cant remember the mph but it was low 13x it has been a long time lol. The motor is a cam only t-rex setup and the car is light about 3300 with me in it. I have everything to go to a dual stage setup I just need the time to put it together. I dont even know if i will get it together for this season. :(

9in in there. Come work on my car for me and I will gladly get it to a track. Or how about you write the paper for me and I will work on the car. Then next month I am going on vacation for 30 days. Then my next semester starts as soon as i get back. Things are not looking good for the Z this season.

There is a plethora of write ups on making the car lighter. Didnt I tell you about the local scale? and at the time wasnt my car 3400 with me in it on 18in c-5 wheels and a full tank of gas. I am pretty sure we have had this convo already lol.
\Lane btw the car runs it just wont pass tech so I dont bother going to the track since I have everything just waiting to install it really.

yea, we did-i just don't remember what all you did to get it so light, i've went to the scale many times--when i had the lightweight battery in the car i had it down to 3600 with me in it, amazing how much wieght that saved, too bad it just doesnt have the amps for the cold weather.

I just got back from ocean shores and now I have homework to do. Daredevil I have done most any weight reduction and still be able to drive the car around really. Bumper supports,ac,abs,door bars, etc etc. Still need a lightweight hood and battery though.
