Not sure I'll be going back to 41, most likely byron next. Need to adjust a few things and go back with about 150lbs out of the car to really make it worth my while.

My SS4000 is fun on the street. Have yet to get a real pass out of it since I was cutting some 1.9 60's with it on M/T ET streets the only time I've been to the track with it. But that was on a wednesday night at 41 and the place was a slip and slide that night. Can't wait to try it with some cool air and track prep.

So basically LCA's since SFC's and PHB really do nothing for straight line acceleration. I think that's most of your issue there. 1.9's are pretty bad, you can get there with stock tires and converter.

Thats not to good . You definetly need some better track prep . I go consistant 1.72 on nittos with big *** ZR1 wheels and a bone stock motor .Im sure if I pop the frt sway bar out Ill get 1.6's . Good luck next time

I know, I pulled 1.9's with street tires and stock stall. There were some big tire cars having the same problem so it wasn't just me. Plus my first time out with the new stall and dr's. I'm gonna try a different track this fall.

So are you guys totally removing the front sway bar or just unhooking it when you get to the track and hooking it back up before you leave? I'm assuming its ok to drive to and from the track without it.
