who was @ Irwindale today and what did you run.
I had 6 runs
8.2
8.2
8.0almost hooked @ 5500 RPM
8.0-almost hooked @ 5600 RPM!!
8.2- bogged @ 6000 RPM?!?!!
also one of the last 8.0 runs I ran a best 60' of 1.7X
but it was below 1.79, which is the best Ive ran.
Anyways Im dsiappointed in my last run, but I was a consistent 8.0
I am gonna cry that I never hit 7.9s yet!!!
also the louisiana sausage gave me heartburn and the *****.

WHitemongoose? not sure, the STS twin corvette was not there, either was his buddy in the LS2 vette, that one guy with the black WS6 with black torq thrust wasn't there, um.......I think thats it.............yeah pretty sure thats it.
Yes got the 8.05 and a 1.8 60' on street tires I think thats about as far as I can push the car right now, might go do king of the hill next week or something, so untill the tires and stall I don't think I will see 7's unless its like absoloutely perfect weather and track prep but untill then I am happy with 8.0

3 things Ive narrowed down
to improve:
-Aluminum flywheel is damaging my runs more than my suspension
even when it kind of hooks ( not like dead on, but the car pulls) after I pull a few feet then it bogs, so the tires are hooking okay for thet 60' then my RPMs drop after Im moving
-tire pressure too low ( Im at 18 psi In M/Ts) I used to do 12 psi on nittos and hook hard @ 3700 RPM.
- The 12 bolt is just eating so much power my mph are hurting bad. before the 12 bolt , when I had the aluminum flywheel I was making 90 mph passes @ 8.1s all day.
*note to self: 3.73s not agressive enough for the aluminum flywheel and Im badly lacking power. We shall see

well I certainly cant complain, because some guys out there that couldnt run better than 9.0s in their F bodys. Im just mad that Ive done so well with so less mods before and Im not improving ( in fact trap speeds have dropped, even when 60's got well)
anyways I keep crying the same old story. Boo Hoo for me, whatever, lol. I shall sleep now.

also its just the springs, Im sure Koni shocks arent harming me, are they?
and front swaybar, if you say so.
Thats what I get for drifting on dirt roads in AZ and not washing it!
