Default hit the 1/8th mile the other night... have some questions

After having my car tuned ( the afr was stupid rich) i decided to hit the local track on tuesday night. I hit a new best time for me. 7.69 @ 92.xx mph with a 1.83 short time. Tomarrow i am going to the 1/4th mile where i ALWAYS hook better and run at least a tenth faster through the 1/8th. My previous best time there was 12.0 @ 116.xx mph with a 7.93 1/8th mile... what should my target time be for tomarrow?

Also, on tuesday i had my QA1's set all the way to soft in the front and the rears right in the middle. I didnt have a jack handy to adjust them, but i will have it tomarrow. Any suggestions?


FYI i am on MT 26X10.5 ET streets with skinnies up front, i am debating on switching from 3.73 gear to 4.10 and going to a bigger tire....

Your target time: As fast as the car will take you

Shock settings: normally I start off 3 front; 6 rear.

You will love the 4.10's over the 3.73's. 275x60x15 ET Drag Radials would be a good choice of tires.

I would think you should run 11.6 in the 1/4 and I would switch to the 4.10's and stay with the 26's you will run faster and mph faster at your power level.
