Went to the Track Last night..... Well i think i did pretty well, ran a 13.6 at 94.3 1.9 60ft.
That was in OD.
Then i ran a 13.7 at 97.5 1.960ft.
I picked up 3mph by going from OD to D.
My car shifts into 4th at 3500rpm in 3rd. Lame.
Im going to see if i can get my mechanic to change my 3rd to 4th shift to about 5800.
Im planning on ordering SFC and a TQ arm tonight then we will see.
I was also running on 255/60/16 MT Drs on stock wheels and 15x3 prostars up front. The MTs are 28'' tall and thye were at 18 PSI, yes i know its low. When my other ET street gets in i will be running 15x8s and 26'' ET Streets.
All of my runs were my mods from last year plus Longtubes and Prostars.
Then on the last pass one of my right front lug nuts fell out and 1 was loose so i decided to go home.
On the way home i lost the right front wheel. On a left turn at 5-10mph it came off and my car slide to a stop on the A arm. Nothing looks damaged at all but the A arm is a little scrapped.
I think running spacers and 15x3s on stock studs is bad. The lugnuts dont have enough thread to hold on so they all strip.
All in all my car went in today and is getting new studs pressed in. Im going to grind the front calipers down so i dont ahve to run spacers anymore.
