I was able to get out and test out my new set up and my fastest pass on motor was 13.37 at 107.94 mph with a 2.069 60 foot.
After that I turned my bottle on even though I only had about 3 pounds in it and ran a 12.76 at 111.78 mph with a 2.146 60 foot.
After that pass my bottle was basically empty because I ran a 12.81 and 12.9. I was really disappointed in how my drag radials performed I had them at all different psi's ranging from 21- around 16. The 2.069 was my best 60 foot time also. I was happy with the 12.7 for not having that much spray and a bad 60 foot time.
Any suggestions on how to get my 60 foot down would be appreciated.

The track was not very good, the sand everywhere I think played a big part in it... and it didn't even really feel like the track was level. and the cones for the finish line was disappointing..... But I had a buddy of mine tell me I shouldn't drop the psi in my tires, they were crinkling when i'd take off but I was still spinning. was that all the track?

fwiw i ran my drag radials anywhere from 12-14 psi. but i had a 4k stall which probably hit a little harder off the line. i was going 1.60-1.62. the tires (mt et street dr 255/50/16 on stock wheels) would've held more, but i got rid of the car before spraying or camming it. i also had 373 gears and most boltons. raceweight of ~3600. it was dead hooking at a track known for NOT hooking on street nights. also removed front sway bar. only had spohn lcas and kb sub frames - welded, all else stock.
a friend of mine is going mid 1.5x on bfg drag radials with 170k stock suspension. he has a hardtop car, cam, and 4k stall. stock 323s.

I was there saturday and I am not impressed with that track. I ran a best of 12.57 @ 116 and I couldn't hook up all day. I spun through 1st gear almost every pass. I was trying to feather it and I did ok on the best run but all the others were crap. I was hoping for low 12s but I think I will have to go to Milan to get some good numbers.
I saw your car there but I don't think I ever got to see you run it.

Ya I saw you there too. I ran out of spray so it wasn't that good of a day. I ran that 12.7 with no juice left which was disappointing. I think i'm gonna try to hit up 131 dragway on saturday though. I couldn't figure out what psi my tires should be at though. I should do better than a 2.0 on 305 drag radials...
