She leaves pretty good. Will it still hook if you tighten the front shocks?

Thanks. Yeah I'm hoping it will still hook. I definitely need to tighten the extension a bit to control those wheelies. I'm also hoping it could squeak me just a bit more gain in the 60' by not wasting so much energy.

That one night time pass was a 1.33 60' but I still haven't gotten the ET I'm looking for. I just hate changing more than one thing at a time during testing and I'm still nailing down my nitrous tune. I need to find a track rental to get in on because these test n tune sessions are crazy! I got three runs in five hours.

Thanks Doug. That was a 73n jet right off the brake, so between 175 and 190 depending on who you ask.

Mine will take an 83 jet with no power managemwnt on an average track. It hits pretty hard. It's a lot of fun.

I have to get my handling down before I go much faster....steering a bit sloppy.

But, nice to know what it "could" do IF/WHEN I hit her with a little bit.

With or without driver? My guess is without.
