Default 5.56 on DRAG RADIALS

Here's the time slip, weight and video.

What else is there for the haters to say other then "good job"
Looks like RPM has laid down their nuts.


Brian and CJ can chime in and add their own comments.

Oh, and a couple pics of the jockey

Put a 3.73 and a bigger tire and go run some 8.5s or 8.4s in that thing. Maybe able to out run Mike Pabon's record. That should get him back at the track again!! They went a 131 though in the 1/8th.

Gratz on the new times!

That is very impressive on Drag Radials! Most cars on this site can't run that on ET Drags! Whoever did the suspension must really know their F-Bodies.

Congrats guys, that car is hauling something serious!

EDIT: My bad it does have subframes, here's the suspension setup.

subframe connectors
Wolfe adjustable lowers
stock uppers and lower A-arms in the front.
stock swaybar
stock torque arm
Hals all the way around


car went 5.9X on a stock 10bolt before they broke an axle.

We have gone better 60ft on ET Drags..............I think RPM knows something about setting up some suspension.
