Default First time in the 12's!!

Second time at the track and first time after installing my Yank SS3600. Pretty happy with my time. I was on street tires and wasn't get any traction for most of the night and on my last run finally got some stick. DA was around 1500. Stock heads,cam, and 3.23 rear.


Don't look at the RT. They were doing a messed up light.

I wasn't. I was leaving from a dead idle. Anything above that would just roast tires.

Out of 10 runs that was my best. Next best was a 1.92 60ft. I really wish I could get it to hook leaving at 2500, I think the car easily has a half second hiding.

And that was on a new set of Continental DW's ExtremeContact

its harder to find traction with a stalled auto car at raised rpm's due to the chassis already being pre loaded , flashing from idle transfers weight onto the rear tires all at once giving the best chance for traction.

BMI subframes is about it. Still have the 15 year old DeCarbon shocks on it I'm shamed to admit.

But I will be going tonight and trying my new Strange 12 Bolt out. Going from 3.23's to 4.11's.
