Went to 411 today to make sure the tweaks to the suspension worked!
The track came around late in the afternoon! Who saids that track does not hook?
Here is a 1.378 60 foot video! I am really liking the 28 inch tires!!

Jim,
My Rossler TH400 does have a brake in it, but so far I have not tried it higher than 2,700 RPM's with the LPE two step! I will say that is one thing I am looking forward to doing on my next outing.
Thanks again for the props!

Once you get the tbrake working right, you'll never footbrake again. With that 5500ish stall converter, it'll come out nice at 3800-4000 on the tbrake/2step. Just make sure to wire in a nitrous interrupt on the tbrake or set the window switch to above the launch rpm so you can floor it on the line.

Thanks, the main reason I asked was I did a cam swap and on the dyno the car picked up hp across the entire band but, when I went to the track great cool weather the car didn't pick up any mph the only other change was I didn't run the 28's like I normally do I ran a 26in tire. Now I'm curious if going back to the 28's if it will pick up some.

Based on the fact that you guys installed the drag bar and now that bad hawk is launching level even on those 26 inch tires which looked like they were mashed to the ground in that awesome photo of your 10.92 run I can assure you if you get a chance to go back with the 28 inch tires you will be posting a new best 60 ft, ET and MPH.
Hopefully you will get a chance to try it out before the end of the year if not you now have a new best ET and MPH for 2009 and will have a brand new best ET and MPH for 2010 first time out with the 28 inch tires.
As for me they are saying it is going to snow again this weekend so I guess we will have to wait for a warm spell to go 1/4 mile racing!
Good luck and be safe!

N2RACINGLS1's,
Thanks for the kind words. I'm hoping your right and it does pick up on both but unfortunately all our tracks are done for the season so I will have to wait until next year. I envy you guys in the south with the long racing season so I will be looking for your new thread with your new best once the snow clears out.
Good luck and be safe.

I agree you will definately pickup et and mph by going with the 28" tires. Being that you have a 383 and alot of torque you will really like those 28's. My car is setup similar to yours and I am crossing with the shift lite on about 200' before the end of the 1/4 with the 28's, 4.10 gear setup@127.8mph so i am swapping to 3.73's so I can spray the car. I also think my car will run quicker on the motor with the 3.73's b/c I can't hookup with the 4.10's now. Goodluck later
Thanks for your input and your car is flying ! that is some killer mph man. I would like to know a little more about your set up but I don't want to take away from N2RACINGLS1's post so could you pm me a little more info like raceweight, solid roller ?
Thanks again Jeff
